**Forward-Looking Statements**

*Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as statements made by us in periodic press releases, oral statements made by our officials in the course of presentations about the Company and conference calls in connection with quarterly earnings releases, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operation, cash flows, strategies and prospects. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as "likely," "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "confident," "could," "intends," "target," "might," "path," "approximately," "our planning assumptions," "forecast," "outlook" or "continue," or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results. These statements are based largely on information currently available to our management and our management's current expectations and assumptions, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

**Item 1. *Business.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *General Development of Business*

Sekisui House U.S., Inc. (formerly known as M.D.C. Holdings, Inc.) is a Delaware corporation. We refer to Sekisui House U.S., Inc. as the "Company," "SHUS," "we" or "our" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and these designations include our subsidiaries unless we state otherwise. We have two primary operations: homebuilding and financial services. Our homebuilding operations consist of wholly-owned subsidiary companies that generally purchase finished lots or develop lots to the extent necessary for the construction and sale primarily of single-family detached homes to all homebuyers, including entry level, move-up, family life and empty nester homebuyers. Our homebuilding operations are comprised of various homebuilding divisions that we consider to be our operating segments. For financial reporting purposes, our homebuilding operations are aggregated into reportable segments as follows: (1) West (includes operations in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington); (2) Mountain (includes operations in Colorado, Idaho and Utah); and (3) East (includes operations in Florida, Maryland, Tennessee and Virginia).

Our financial services operations consist of (1) HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation ("HomeAmerican"), which originates mortgage loans primarily for our homebuyers, (2) StarAmerican Insurance Ltd. ("StarAmerican"), which provides insurance coverage to the majority of our homebuilding subsidiaries, which includes certain assumed liabilities of subcontractors under the Company's owner-controlled insurance program ("wrap program'), (3) American Home Insurance Agency, Inc., which offers third-party insurance products to our homebuyers and (4) American Home Title and Escrow Company, which provides title agency services to our homebuilding subsidiaries and our customers in certain states. For financial reporting, we have aggregated our financial services operating segments into reportable segments as follows: (1) Mortgage Operations (represents HomeAmerican only) and (2) other (all remaining operating segments).

On April 19, 2024, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 17, 2024 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, SH Residential Holdings, LLC ("Parent" or "SHRH"), Clear Line, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and, solely for the purposes of Section 6.2, Section 6.17 and Section 9.15 of the Merger Agreement, Sekisui House, Ltd. ("Guarantor" of "SHL"), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, all of the Company's equity securities are owned by Parent and the Company no longer has any of its securities listed and registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

On December 1, 2025, Parent contributed (for no consideration) to the Company all of Parent's interests in its wholly owned subsidiary Woodside Group, LLC ("Woodside") (the "Woodside Merger"). Woodside is a homebuilding company with operations in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah.

On January 1, 2026, Parent contributed (for no consideration) to the Company all of Parent's interests in its wholly owned subsidiaries Chesmar Homes, LLC ("Chesmar") and Holt Group Holdings, LLC ("Holt"). Chesmar and Holt are homebuilding companies with operations in Texas, Oregon, and Washington. See Note 24, *Subsequent Events,* in the notes to the financial statements for further discussion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Description of Business*

Our business consists of two primary operations: homebuilding and financial services. Our homebuilding subsidiaries build and sell primarily single-family detached homes that are designed and built to meet local customer preferences. Certain homebuilding subsidiaries are the general contractor for its projects and retain subcontractors for land development and home construction. Our homebuilding subsidiaries build a variety of home styles in each of their markets for all homebuyers, including entry level, move up, family life and empty nester homebuyers.

**Homebuilding Operations**

*Operating Divisions.* The primary functions of our homebuilding segments include land acquisition and development, home construction, sales and marketing, and customer service. Operating decisions are made by our local management teams under the oversight of our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), or decision-making group, defined as one key executive - our Chief Executive Officer. Our organizational structure (i.e., the grouping and reporting of divisions) changes based upon the current needs of the Company. We had 21 active homebuilding operating divisions at December 31, 2025, 21 active homebuilding operating divisions at December 31, 2024, and 19 active homebuilding operating divisions at December 31, 2023.

*Corporate Management.* Our homebuilding business is managed primarily through members of senior management in our Corporate segment and our two Asset Management Committees ("AMCs"), one for reviewing real estate transactions and one for reviewing corporate transactions. The real estate AMC is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer, two representatives from Sekisui House, Ltd. and at least one of our other corporate officers, with the corporate AMC comprised of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal Officer. All real estate acquisition transactions are reviewed to confirm that the transaction is projected to achieve the objectives established by our decision-making group and must be approved by the real estate AMC. Generally, the role of our senior management team and/or AMC includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review and approval of division business plans and budgets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• oversight of land and home inventory levels;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review of major personnel decisions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review of capital allocation decisions.

Additionally, our corporate executives and corporate departments generally are responsible for establishing and monitoring compliance with our policies and procedures. Among other things, the corporate office has primary responsibility for:

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• asset management and capital allocation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• treasury;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• insurance and risk management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• merchandising and marketing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• national purchasing contracts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accounting, tax and internal audit functions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• legal matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• human resources and payroll;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• information technology; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• training and development.

*Housing.* Generally, our homebuilding subsidiaries build single-family detached homes in a number of standardized series, designed to provide variety in the size and style of homes for our potential homebuyers. In certain markets, our homebuilding subsidiaries build and sell duplexes and townhomes. Our homebuilding subsidiaries build several different floor plans offering standard and optional features (such as upgraded appliances, cabinetry, flooring, etc.). Differences in sales prices of similar models from market to market depend primarily upon homebuyer demand, home prices offered by other home sellers, market conditions (such as home inventory supply levels), location, cost of land, optional features and design specifications. The series of homes offered at a particular location is based on perceived customer preferences, lot size, area demographics and, in certain cases, the requirements of major land sellers and local municipalities. Our homebuilding subsidiaries have historically focused on selling "build-to-order," also referred to as "dirt sales," and have limited the number of homes started without a contract, also known as "spec homes." However, with the increase in interest rates, we have seen an increased preference for spec homes in recent years that can be closed within 30 - 60 days. As a result, home construction starts have been more heavily focused on spec homes in recent years in response to this demand. We expect to see this mix shift back to more build-to-order sales as we prioritize personalization and homebuyer experience.

*Land Acquisition and Development*. Our homebuilding subsidiaries acquire lots with the intention of constructing and selling homes on the acquired land. In making land purchases, we consider a number of factors, including projected rates of return, estimated gross margins from home sales, sales prices of the homes to be built, mortgage loan limits within the respective county, population and employment growth patterns, proximity to developed areas, estimated cost and complexity of development including environmental and geological factors, quality of schools, estimated levels of competition and demographic trends.

Our homebuilding subsidiaries generally obtain the right to purchase lots in consideration for an option deposit in the form of cash or letters of credit through an option contract. In the event they elect not to purchase the lots within a specified period of time, they may be required to forfeit the option deposit. Our option contracts do not contain provisions requiring our specific performance.

Our homebuilding subsidiaries may own or have the right under option contracts to acquire undeveloped parcels of real estate that they intend to develop into finished lots. They generally develop land in phases in order to limit our risk in a particular subdivision and to efficiently employ available capital resources. Generally, building permits and utilities are available and zoning is suitable for the current intended use of substantially all of our undeveloped land. When developed, these lots generally will be used in our homebuilding activities. See "**Forward-Looking Statements**" above.

*Labor and Raw Materials*. Materials used in our homebuilding operations are mainly standard items carried by major suppliers. We generally contract for our materials and labor at a fixed price for the anticipated construction period of our homes. This allows us to mitigate the risks associated with increases in the cost of building materials and labor between the time construction begins on a home and the time it is closed. Increases in the cost of building materials and subcontracted labor may reduce gross margins from home sales to the extent that market conditions prevent the recovery of increased costs through higher home sales prices. From time to time and to varying degrees, we may experience shortages in the availability of building materials and/or labor in each of our markets. These shortages and delays may result in delays in the delivery of homes under construction, reduced gross margins from home sales, or both. See "**Forward-Looking Statements**" above. Discussion of shortages in the availability of building materials and labor are described in more detail in our description of Risk Factors under the heading "***Supply shortages and other risks related to the demand for skilled labor and building materials could continue to increase costs and delay deliveries."***

*Warranty.* Our homebuilding subsidiaries sell their homes with limited third-party warranties that generally provide for one year of coverage for workmanship and materials, two years of coverage for plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and structural coverage for an amount of time depending on the jurisdiction in which the house was

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

purchased. Under our agreement with the issuer of the third-party warranties, our homebuilding subsidiaries perform all of the work for the first two years of the warranty coverage and pay for certain work required to be performed subsequent to year two.

*Seasonal Nature of Business.* The homebuilding industry can experience noticeable seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variability in homebuilding activity levels. The seasonal nature of our business is described in more detail in our description of Risk Factors under the heading "***Because of the seasonal nature of our business, our quarterly operating results can fluctuate.***"

*Backlog*. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, homes under contract but not yet delivered ("backlog") totaled 800 and 1,013, respectively, with an estimated sales value of $541.4 million and $656.4 million, respectively. The decrease in backlog year over year is due to a decrease in homes sales year-over-year. We anticipate that homes in backlog at December 31, 2025 generally will close during 2026 under their existing home order contracts or through the replacement of an existing contract with a new home order contract. The estimated backlog sales value at December 31, 2025 may be impacted by, among other things, subsequent home order cancellations, incentives provided, and/or options and upgrades selected. See "**Forward-Looking Statements**" above.

*Customer Service and Quality Control*. Our homebuilding divisions are responsible for pre-closing quality control inspections and responding to customers' post-closing needs. We have a product service and quality control program, focused on improving and/or maintaining the quality of our customers' complete home buying and homeownership experiences.

*Sales and Marketing*. Our sales and marketing programs are designed to attract homebuyers in a cost-effective manner. We have a centralized in-house advertising and marketing department, including digital marketing, that oversees our efforts to communicate the inherent value of our homes to our prospective homebuyers and distinguish our brands from our competitors and other home buying opportunities. The main objective of this team is to generate homebuyer leads, which are actively pursued by our HomeBuyer Resource Center (HBRC) and community sales consultants. Our HBRC team consists of new home specialists local to each market we build in, who are dedicated to supporting our digital and phone leads and set appointments for them to meet at one of our sales centers with a community sales consultants. Our centralized in-house merchandising team furnishes our model homes and sales centers.

*Competition*. The homebuilding industry is fragmented and highly competitive. The competitive nature of our business is described in more detail in our description of Risk Factors.

*Regulation*. Our homebuilding operations are subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, which are described in more detail in our description of Risk Factors.

**Financial Services Operations**

*Mortgage Lending Operations*

*General*. HomeAmerican is a full-service mortgage lender and the principal originator of mortgage loans for our homebuyers. HomeAmerican has a centralized loan processing center where it originates mortgage loans, primarily for our homebuyers.

HomeAmerican is authorized to originate Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") (together "the government-sponsored enterprises"), Federal Housing Administration-insured ("FHA"), and Department of Veterans Affairs-guaranteed ("VA") mortgages and is an authorized issuer of Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") mortgage-backed securities. Furthermore, HomeAmerican also is an authorized loan servicer for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae and, as such, is subject to the rules and regulations of these entities.

HomeAmerican uses mortgage repurchase facilities, internally generated funds, and temporary financing provided by its parent to finance the origination of mortgage loans until they are sold. HomeAmerican sells originated mortgage loans to third-party purchasers on either a bulk or flow basis. Mortgage loans sold on a bulk basis include the sale of a package of substantially similar originated mortgage loans, while sales of mortgage loans on a flow basis are completed as HomeAmerican originates each loan. Mortgage loans sold to third-party purchasers include HomeAmerican's representations and warranties with respect to certain borrower payment defaults, credit quality issues and/or misstatements made by HomeAmerican or misrepresentations by our homebuyers. Substantially all of the mortgage loans originated by HomeAmerican are sold to third-party purchasers, generally between 5 to 35 days of origination.

*Pipeline*. HomeAmerican's mortgage loans in process for which a rate and price commitment had been made to a borrower that had not closed (the "locked pipeline") at December 31, 2025 and 2024 had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $75.8 million and $57.8 million, respectively, and were under interest rate lock commitments at an average interest rate of 4.57% and 5.62%, respectively.

*Forward Sales Commitments*. HomeAmerican is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates. We mitigate our exposure to interest rate market risk relating to mortgage loans held-for-sale and interest rate lock commitments using: (1) forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, (2) mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period, and (3) best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded and closed. The market related risks in our business are described in more detail in our description of Risk Factors.

*Competition*. HomeAmerican has significant competition with other mortgage bankers to arrange financing for our homebuyers. The competitive nature of our mortgage business is described in more detail in our description of Risk Factors.

*Regulation.* Our mortgage lending operations are subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, which are described in more detail in our description of Risk Factors.

*Insurance Operations*

*General.* Allegiant and StarAmerican were formed to provide insurance coverage of homebuilding risks for our homebuilding subsidiaries and most of our homebuilding subcontractors. Prior to its dissolution on December 19, 2025, Allegiant was organized as a risk retention group under the Federal Liability Risk Retention Act of 1981. Allegiant, which began operations in June of 2004, was licensed as a Class 3 Stock Insurance Company by the Division of Insurance of the State of Hawaii and was subject primarily to the regulations of its state of incorporation. StarAmerican is a single parent captive insurance company licensed by the Division of Insurance of the State of Hawaii. Prior to Allegiant's dissolution, StarAmerican had re-insured Allegiant for all claims in excess of $50,000 per occurrence up to $3.0 million per occurrence prior to July 1, 2022, and up to $5.0 million per occurrence subsequent to July 1, 2022, subject to various aggregate limits.

Prior to novating, assigning and transferring to StarAmerican all of its rights, title, interest and obligations regarding insurance policies on September 30, 2025, Allegiant generated premium revenue generally by providing to its customers, comprised of the majority of the Company's homebuilding subsidiaries and most subcontractors of the Company's homebuilding subsidiaries, general liability insurance on homes sold by our homebuilding subsidiaries and for work performed in completed subdivisions. Allegiant sought to provide to its customers coverage and insurance rates that were competitive with other insurers. StarAmerican generated premium revenue by providing re-insurance coverage to Allegiant. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, Star American generated premium revenue by providing insurance coverage to the majority of our homebuilding subsidiaries, which includes certain assumed liabilities of subcontractors under the Company's wrap programs. Prior to September 30, 2025, Allegiant and StarAmerican incurred expenses for actual losses and loss adjustment expenses and for reserves established based on actuarial studies including known facts, such as our experience with similar insurance cases and historical trends involving insurance claim payment patterns, pending levels of unpaid insurance claims, claim severity, claim frequency patterns and interpretations of circumstances including changing regulatory and legal environments. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, all such expenses were incurred by StarAmerican.

*Regulation*. Allegiant was and StarAmerican is licensed in the State of Hawaii and, therefore, were and are subject to regulation by the Hawaii Insurance Division. This regulation includes restrictions and oversight regarding: types of insurance provided; investment options; required capital and surplus; financial and information reporting; use of auditors, actuaries and other service providers; periodic examinations; and other operational items. Additionally, as a risk retention group, Allegiant was also registered in other states where certain SHUS homebuilding subsidiaries did business.

Effective September 30, 2025, Allegiant novated, assigned and transferred to StarAmerican all of its rights, title, interest and obligations regarding insurance policies, including insurance reserves, claims, benefits, premiums, and other amounts payable or receivable. Effective December 19, 2025, Allegiant was dissolved.

*Insurance Agency Operations*

American Home Insurance is an insurance agency that sells primarily homeowners, personal property and casualty insurance products in the same markets where our homebuilding subsidiaries operate and primarily to our homebuyers.

**Item 1A. *Risk Factors.***

***Changes in general economic, real estate and other business conditions may have an adverse effect on the homebuilding and mortgage industries, which could have a negative impact on our business.***

The homebuilding industry is cyclical and is significantly affected by changes in industry conditions, the national political environment and general economic conditions such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employment levels;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• availability of financing for homebuyers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• interest rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consumer confidence and spending;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• wage growth;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• household formations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• levels of new and existing homes for sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cost of land, labor and construction materials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• demographic trends; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• housing demand.

These conditions may exist on a national level or may affect some of the regions or markets in which we operate more than others. When adverse conditions affect any of our larger markets, they could have a proportionately greater impact on us than on some other homebuilding companies.

Changes to monetary policy or other actions by the Federal Reserve or governmental agencies could have and have had an adverse effect on interest rates (including mortgage interest rates), equity markets and consumer confidence. Adverse effects could cause and have caused us to experience declines in the market value of our inventory and the demand for our homes, resulting in a negative impact to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

An oversupply of alternatives to new homes, including foreclosed homes, homes held for sale or rent by investors and speculators, other existing homes, and rental properties, can also reduce our ability to sell new homes, depress new home prices and reduce our margins on the sale of new homes. High levels of foreclosures and short-sales not only contribute to additional inventory available for sale, but also can reduce appraisal valuations for new homes, potentially resulting in lower sales prices.

Terrorist attacks, acts of war, other acts of violence or threats to national security, and any corresponding response by the United States or others, or related domestic or international instability, may adversely affect general economic conditions or cause a slowdown of the economy.

As a result of the foregoing matters, potential customers may be less willing or able to buy our homes. In the future, our pricing strategies may be limited by market conditions. We may be unable to change the mix of our home offerings, reduce the costs of the homes we build or offer more affordable homes to maintain our gross margins or satisfactorily address changing market conditions in other ways. In addition, cancellations of home sales contracts in backlog may increase as homebuyers choose to not honor their contracts.

Additionally, the factors discussed above may increase our counterparty risk, which may include, among others, banks under our credit facilities and mortgage purchasers who may not be willing or able to perform on obligations to us. To the extent a third-party is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

Our mortgage operations are closely related to our homebuilding business, as HomeAmerican originates mortgage loans principally to purchasers of the homes we build. Therefore, a decrease in the demand for our homes because of the preceding matters may also adversely affect the financial results of this segment of our business. Furthermore, any adverse changes in the economic conditions discussed previously could increase the default rate on the mortgages we originate, which may adversely affect our ability to sell the mortgages, the pricing we receive upon the sale of mortgages, or our potential exposure to recourse regarding mortgage loan sales.

These challenging conditions are complex and interrelated. We cannot predict their occurrence or severity, nor can we provide assurance that our responses would be successful.

***Increased competition levels in the homebuilding and mortgage lending industries could have a negative impact on our homebuilding and mortgage operations.***

The homebuilding industry is fragmented and highly competitive. Our homebuilding subsidiaries compete with numerous public and private homebuilders, including a number that are substantially larger than us and may have greater financial resources than we do. Our homebuilding subsidiaries also compete with subdivision developers and land development companies, some of which are themselves homebuilders or affiliates of homebuilders. Homebuilders compete for customers, land, building materials, subcontractor labor and desirable financing. Competition for home orders is based primarily on home sales price, location of property, home style, financing available to prospective homebuyers, quality of homes built, customer service and general reputation in the community, and may vary market-by-market and/or submarket-by-submarket. Additionally, competition within the homebuilding industry can be impacted by an excess supply of new and existing homes available for sale resulting from a number of factors, including, among other things, increases in the number of new home communities, increases in speculative homes available for sale and increases in home foreclosures. Increased competition can result in a decrease in our net new home orders, a decrease in our home sales prices and/or an increase in our home sales incentives in an effort to generate new home sales and maintain homes in backlog until they close. These competitive pressures may negatively impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our mortgage lending subsidiary, HomeAmerican, experiences competition from numerous banks and other mortgage bankers and brokers, many of which are larger and may have greater financial resources. As a result, these competitors may be able to offer better pricing and/or mortgage loan terms, more relaxed underwriting criteria and a greater range of products, which could negatively impact the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of our mortgage operations.

***If land is not available at reasonable prices or terms, we could be required to scale back our operations in a given market and/or we may operate at lower levels of profitability.***

Our operations depend on our homebuilding subsidiaries' ability to obtain land for the development of our residential communities at reasonable prices and with terms that meet our underwriting criteria. Our ability to obtain land for new residential communities may be adversely affected by changes in the general availability of land, the willingness of land sellers to sell land at reasonable prices, competition for available land, availability of financing to acquire land, zoning, regulations that limit housing density, and other market conditions. If the supply of land appropriate for development of residential communities is limited because of these factors, or for any other reason, the number of homes that our homebuilding subsidiaries build and sell may decline. To the extent that we are unable to purchase land timely or enter into new contracts for the purchase of land at reasonable prices, due to the lag time between the time we acquire land and the time we begin selling homes, we may be required to scale back our operations in a given market and/or we may operate at lower levels of profitability. As a result, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted.

***Supply shortages and other risks related to the demand for skilled labor and building materials could continue to increase costs and delay deliveries.***

The residential construction industry experiences price fluctuations and shortages in labor and materials from time to time. Shortages in labor can be due to: competition for labor, work stoppages, labor disputes, shortages in qualified trades people, lack of availability of adequate utility infrastructure and services, or our need to rely on local subcontractors who may not be adequately capitalized or insured. Labor and material shortages can be more severe during periods of strong demand for housing or during periods in which the markets where we operate experience natural disasters that have a significant impact on existing residential and commercial structures. Additionally, we could experience labor shortages as a result of subcontractors going out of business or leaving the residential construction market due to low levels of housing production and volumes. Pricing for labor and materials can be affected by the factors discussed above, changes in energy prices, and various other national, regional and local economic factors. In addition, environmental and other regulations and import tariffs and trade restrictions have had, and in the future could continue to have, an adverse impact on the cost of certain raw materials such as

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

lumber. Recalls of materials driven by manufacturing defects can drive shortages in materials and delay the delivery of homes. Any of these circumstances could give rise to delays in the start or completion of our residential communities, increase the cost of developing one or more of our residential communities and/or increase the construction cost of our homes.

We generally are unable to pass on increases in construction costs on build-to-order homes to customers who have already entered into sales contracts, as those sales contracts fix the price of the homes at the time the contracts are signed, which generally is in advance of the construction of the home. With our increase in the number of spec homes due to spec construction starts, we may see an increase in our ability to pass on increases in construction costs to customers should market conditions permit. To the extent that market conditions prevent the recovery of increased costs, including, among other things, subcontracted labor, finished lots, building materials, and other resources, through higher selling prices, our financial position, cash flows and operating results, including our gross margin from home sales, could be negatively impacted.

***If mortgage interest rates rise, if down payment requirements are increased, if loan limits are decreased, or if mortgage financing otherwise becomes less available, it could adversely affect our business.***

Mortgage liquidity influenced by governmental entities like the FHA, VA, USDA and Ginnie Mae or government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to be an important factor in marketing our homes. Financial losses or other factors may limit, restrict or otherwise curtail their ability or willingness to insure mortgage loans, offer insurance at rates and on terms that are not prohibitive, or purchase mortgage loans. Should this occur, it may negatively impact the availability of mortgage financing and our sales of new homes.

We believe that the liquidity provided by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae to the mortgage industry has been very important to the housing market. Any reduction in the availability of the liquidity provided by these institutions could adversely affect interest rates, mortgage availability and our sales of new homes and mortgage loans.

Loans sold to or insured by the GSEs are subject to various loan limits. Decreases in these loan limits may require homebuyers to make larger down payments or obtain more restrictive non-conforming or "jumbo" mortgages, which could adversely impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Even if potential customers do not need financing, changes in the availability of mortgage products may make it harder for them to sell their current homes to potential buyers who need financing.

If interest rates increase, the costs of owning a home may be affected and could result in further reductions in the demand for our homes. During fiscal 2022 and into 2023, the increase in mortgage interest rates had a significant impact on the demand for our homes.

***Public health issues such as a pandemic or epidemic could harm business and results of operations of the Company.***

Demand for our homes is dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors, such as employment levels, availability of financing for homebuyers, interest rates, consumer confidence and spending, wage growth and inflation, household formations, levels of new and existing homes for sale, cost of land, labor and construction materials, demographic trends and housing demand. These factors, in particular consumer confidence, can be significantly and adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond our control. Specifically, an epidemic, pandemic, or similar public health issue could significantly disrupt us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period, and thereby, along with associated economic and/or consumer confidence instability, have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

***Changes to tax laws, incentives or credits currently available to our customers may negatively impact our business.***

Many homeowners receive substantial tax benefits in the form of tax deductions against their personal taxable income for mortgage interest and property tax payments and the loss or reduction of these deductions could affect homeowners' net cost of owning a home. Significant changes to existing tax laws, such as the ability to deduct mortgage interest and real property taxes, may result in an increase in the total cost of home ownership and may make the purchase of a home less attractive to buyers. This could adversely impact demand for and/or sales prices of new homes, which would have a negative impact on our business.

***A decline in the market value of our homes or carrying value of our land could continue to have a negative impact on our business****.*

Our homebuilding subsidiaries acquire land for the replacement of land inventory and/or expansion within our current markets and may, from time to time, purchase land for expansion into new markets. The fair value of our land and land under development inventory and housing completed or under construction inventory depends on market conditions. Factors that can impact our determination of the fair value of our inventory primarily include home sale prices, levels of home sale incentives and home construction and land costs. Our home sale prices and/or levels of home sale incentives can be impacted by, among other things, uncertainty in the homebuilding and mortgage industries or the United States/global economy overall, decreased demand for new homes, decreased home prices offered by our competitors, increased levels of new or existing home inventory, home foreclosure and short-sale levels, decreased ability of our homebuyers to obtain suitable mortgage loan financing and high levels of home order cancellations. Under such circumstances, we may be required to record impairments of our inventory. Any such inventory impairments would have a negative impact on our financial position and results of operations. During fiscal 2025, increased levels of new and existing home inventory in certain markets and mortgage interest rates that have remained elevated in comparison to recent history had a significant impact on the homebuilding industry causing home sale prices to decrease and home sale incentives to increase across the industry. This has resulted in inventory impairments in certain of our communities due to the decline in the market value of our housing completed or under construction and land and land under development inventory.

***Natural disasters could cause an increase in home construction costs, as well as delays, and could negatively impact our business.***

The climates and geology of many of the markets in which we operate present increased risks of natural disasters. To the extent that hurricanes, severe storms, earthquakes, droughts, floods, heavy or prolonged precipitation, wildfires or other natural disasters or similar events occur, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of our business may be negatively impacted.

***Changes in energy prices or regulations may have an adverse effect on our cost of building homes.***

Some of the markets in which we operate are impacted by regulations related to energy, such as setbacks required from oil / gas drilling operations or restrictions on the use of land. To the extent that these regulations are modified, the value of land we already own or the availability of land we are looking to purchase may decline, which may adversely impact the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of our business. Furthermore, pricing offered by our suppliers and subcontractors can be adversely affected by increases in various energy costs resulting in a negative impact to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows of our business.

***We have financial needs that we meet through the capital markets, including the debt and secondary mortgage markets, and disruptions in these markets could have an adverse impact on the results of our business.***

We have financial needs that we meet through the capital markets, including the debt and secondary mortgage markets. Our requirements for additional capital, whether to finance operations or to service or refinance our existing indebtedness, fluctuate as market conditions and our financial performance and operations change. We cannot provide assurance that we will maintain cash reserves and generate sufficient cash flow from operations in an amount to enable us to service our debt or to fund other liquidity needs.

The availability of additional capital, whether from private capital sources or the public capital markets, fluctuates as our financial condition and market conditions in general change. There may be times when the private capital markets and the public debt markets lack sufficient liquidity or when our securities cannot be sold at attractive prices, in which case we would not be able to access capital from these sources. Additionally, any reduction in our credit ratings and/or a weakening of our

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

financial condition, could adversely affect our ability to obtain necessary funds. Even if financing is available, it could be costly or have other adverse consequences.

In addition, the sources and terms and conditions of our mortgage repurchase facilities are subject to change. These changes may impact, among other things, availability of capital, cost of borrowings, collateral requirements and collateral advance rates.

***Our business is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning land development, construction of homes, sales, mortgage lending, environmental and other aspects of our business. These laws and regulations could give rise to additional liabilities or expenditures, or restrictions on our business.***

Our operations are subject to continuing compliance requirements mandated by applicable federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, including zoning and land use ordinances, building, plumbing and electrical codes, contractors' licensing laws, state insurance laws, federal and state human resources laws and regulations, and health and safety laws and regulations. Various localities in which we operate have imposed (or may impose in the future) fees on developers to fund schools, road improvements and low and moderate-income housing.

Availability of and costs related to permit, water/sewer tap, and impact fees can impact our homebuilding operations. From time to time, various municipalities in which our homebuilding subsidiaries operate restrict or place moratoria on the availability of utilities, including water and sewer taps. Additionally, certain jurisdictions in which our homebuilding subsidiaries operate have proposed or enacted "slow growth" or "no growth" initiatives and other measures that may restrict the number of building permits available in any given year. These initiatives or other similar measures could reduce our ability to open new subdivisions and build and sell homes in the affected markets. The availability issues previously discussed and any increases in costs of these fees may negatively impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our homebuilding operations also are affected by regulations pertaining to availability of water, municipal sewage treatment capacity, land use, dust controls, oil and gas operations, building materials, population density and preservation of endangered species, natural terrain and vegetation.

We are subject to local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning the protection of public health and the environment. These include regulating the emission or discharge of materials into the environment such as greenhouse gas emissions, storm water runoff, the handling, use, storage and disposal of hazardous substances, and impacts to wetlands and other sensitive environments. These restrictions and requirements could increase our operating costs and require additional capital investment, which could negatively impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Further, we have extensive operations in the western United States, where some of the most extensive environmental laws and building construction standards in the country have been enacted. We believe we are in compliance in all material respects with existing governmental environment restrictions, standards and regulations applicable to our business, and such compliance has not had a material impact on our business. Given the rapid changes to environmental laws and other matters that may arise that are not currently known, we cannot predict our future exposure, and our future costs to achieve compliance or remedy potential violations could be significant.

The particular environmental laws and regulations that apply to any given homebuilding project vary greatly according to a particular site's location, the site's environmental conditions and the present and former uses. These environmental laws may result in project delays, cause us to incur substantial compliance and other costs and/or prohibit or severely restrict homebuilding activity in certain environmentally sensitive locations. Environmental laws and regulations may also have a negative impact on the availability and price of certain raw materials, such as lumber.

Our revolving credit facility contains representations regarding anti-corruption and sanctions laws, a violation of which could result in an event of default.

We also are subject to rules and regulations with respect to originating, processing, selling and servicing mortgage loans, 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.

The regulatory environment for mortgage lending is complex and ever changing and has led to an increase in the number of audits and examinations in the industry. These examinations can include consumer lending practices, sales of mortgages to financial institutions and other investors and the practices in the financial services segments of homebuilding

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

companies. New rules and regulations or revised interpretations of existing rules and regulations applicable to our mortgage lending operations could result in more stringent compliance standards, which may substantially increase costs of compliance.

***In the ordinary course of business, we are required to obtain surety bonds, the unavailability of which could adversely affect our business.***

As is customary in the homebuilding industry, we often are required to provide surety bonds to secure our performance under construction contracts, development agreements and other arrangements. Our ability to obtain surety bonds primarily depends upon our credit rating, capitalization, working capital, past performance, management expertise and certain external factors, including the overall capacity of the surety market and the underwriting practices of surety bond issuers. The ability to obtain surety bonds also can be impacted by the willingness of insurance companies to issue surety bonds. If we are unable to obtain surety bonds when required, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted.

***Product liability litigation and warranty claims that arise in the ordinary course of business may be costly.***

As a homebuilder, we are subject to construction defect and home warranty claims, as well as claims associated with the sale and financing of our homes arising in the ordinary course of business. These types of claims can be costly. The costs of insuring against or directly paying for construction defect and product liability claims can be high and the amount of coverage offered by insurance companies may be limited. If we are not able to obtain adequate insurance against these claims, we may incur additional expenses that would have a negative impact on our results of operations in future reporting periods. Additionally, changes in the facts and circumstances of our pending litigation matters could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

***Repurchase requirements associated with HomeAmerican's sale of mortgage loans, could negatively impact our business.***

We are subject to risks associated with mortgage loans, including conventional mortgage loans, FHA and VA mortgage loans, second mortgage loans, high loan-to-value mortgage loans and jumbo mortgage loans (mortgage loans with principal balances that exceed various thresholds in our markets). These risks may include, among other things, compliance with mortgage loan underwriting criteria and the associated homebuyers' performance, which could require HomeAmerican to repurchase certain of those mortgage loans or provide indemnification. Repurchased mortgage loans and/or the settlement of claims associated with such loans could have a negative impact on HomeAmerican's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

***Because of the seasonal nature of our business, our quarterly operating results can fluctuate.***

We may experience noticeable seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variability in homebuilding activity levels. In general, the number of homes delivered and the associated home sale revenues increase during the third and fourth quarters compared with the first and second quarters. We believe that this type of seasonality reflects the historical tendency of homebuyers to purchase new homes in the spring and summer with deliveries scheduled in the fall or winter, as well as the scheduling of construction to accommodate the seasonal weather conditions in certain markets.

***We are dependent on the services of key employees, and the loss of their services could hurt our business.***

Although we believe that we have made provision for adequately staffing current operations, because of competition for experienced homebuilding industry personnel, retaining our skilled people is an important area of focus. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to attract, train and retain skilled personnel. If we are unable to retain our key employees or attract, train and retain other skilled personnel in the future, it could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

***Information technology failures and cybersecurity breaches could harm our business.***

We use information technology and other computer resources to carry out important operational activities and to maintain our business records. These information technology systems are dependent upon electronic systems and other aspects of the internet infrastructure. A material breach in the security of our information technology systems or other data security controls could result in third parties obtaining or corrupting customer, employee or company data. To date, we have not had a material breach of data security, however such occurrences could have a material and adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

***Financial industry turmoil could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and consolidated financial statements.***

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

The banking industry experienced certain bank failures and other turmoil in 2023. The failure of other banks or financial institutions, if it occurs, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or consolidated financial statements if we have placed cash or other deposits at such banks or financial institutions, or if such banks or financial institutions, or any substitute or additional banks or financial institutions, participate in our Revolving Credit Facility. Under our Revolving Credit Facility, non-defaulting lenders are not obligated to cover or acquire a defaulting lender's respective commitment to fund loans or to issue letters of credit and may be unwilling to issue additional letters of credit if we do not enter into arrangements to address the risk with respect to the defaulting lender (which may include cash collateral). If the non-defaulting lenders are unable or unwilling to cover or acquire a defaulting lender's respective commitment, we may not be able to access the Revolving Credit Facility's full borrowing or letter of credit capacity to support our business needs. In addition, if a buyer under our Mortgage Repurchase Facilities, which are used to fund mortgage originations, fails or is unable or unwilling to fulfill its obligations, HomeAmerican may be limited in its ability to provide mortgage loans to our homebuyers, which may prevent them from closing on their homes at the time expected or at all.

***Litigation challenging the completion of the Merger Agreement may be costly.***

Lawsuits have and may continue to be filed against us, our Board of Directors or other parties to the Merger Agreement, challenging our acquisition by Parent or making other claims in connection therewith. These types of litigation can be costly. Additionally, changes in the facts and circumstances of our pending or future litigation matters or potential instigation of enforcement or other actions could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company understands the importance of preventing, assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity processes to assess, identify and manage risks from cybersecurity threats have been incorporated as a part of the Company's overall risk assessment process. On a regular basis we implement into our operations these cybersecurity processes, technologies, and controls to assess, identify, and manage material risks. Specifically, we engage a third-party cybersecurity firm to assist with network and endpoint monitoring, cloud system monitoring and assessment of our incident response procedures. Further, we employ periodic penetration testing and tabletop exercises to inform our risk identification and assessment of material cybersecurity threats.

To manage our material risks from cybersecurity threats and to protect against, detect, and prepare to respond to cybersecurity incidents, we undertake the below listed activities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Monitor emerging data protection laws and implement changes to our processes to comply;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Conduct periodic customer data handling and use requirement training for our employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Conduct annual cybersecurity management and incident training for employees involved in our systems and processes that handle sensitive data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.Conduct regular phishing email simulations for all employees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.Carry cybersecurity risk insurance that provides protection against the potential losses arising from a cybersecurity incident

Our incident response plan coordinates the activities that we and our third-party cybersecurity provider take to prepare to respond and recover from cybersecurity incidents, which include processes to triage, assess severity, investigate, escalate, contain, and remediate an incident, as well as to comply with potentially applicable legal obligations and mitigate brand and reputational damage.

As part of the above processes, we engage with consultants to review our cybersecurity program to help identify areas for continued focus, improvement, and compliance.

Our processes also include assessing cybersecurity threat risks associated with our use of third-party services providers in normal course of business use, including those in our supply chain or who have access to our customer and employee data or our systems. Third-party risks are included within our risk management process discussed above. In addition, we assess cybersecurity considerations in the selection and oversight of our third-party services providers, including due diligence on the third parties that have access to our systems and facilities that house systems and data.

**EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**

***Overview***

*Industry Conditions and Outlook for SHUS\**

The homebuilding industry saw softened market conditions and affordability challenges during 2025. The macroeconomic backdrop remains challenging given consumers affordability concerns, continuing uncertainty related to geopolitical issues and mortgage interest rates that have remained elevated in comparison to recent history. As a result, we experienced a decrease in our sales absorption rate and our gross margin from home sales during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year.

As part of the planned reorganization of the Sekisui House, Ltd. U.S. homebuilder business, SHUS completed the acquisition of Woodside on December 1, 2025. This acquisition increased the scale of SHUS homebuilding operations in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada and Utah by adding nearly $1.0 billion of homebuilding net assets. In connection with the planned reorganization, SHUS amended its revolving credit facility during the fourth quarter of 2025 to increase the aggregate commitment to $1.40 billion and extend the termination date of the majority of the facility commitments until October 2029. As further discussed in Note 1, *Summary of Significant Accounting Policies*, to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements, as well as management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, incorporate Woodside financial results and financial information beginning on April 19, 2024.

We believe that we are well equipped to navigate the current market conditions given our strong financial position. We ended the year with total cash and cash equivalents of $330.6 million, total liquidity of $1.73 billion and no senior note maturities until 2030.

*Results for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2025*

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we reported net income of $151.9 million, a 62% decrease compared to net income of $394.5 million for the prior year period. This was driven by a decrease in pretax income of both our homebuilding business and financial services business. Our homebuilding pretax income decreased $266.7 million, or 66% year-over-year. Our financial services business pretax income decreased $40.3 million, or 43%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in homebuilding pretax income was primarily due to a 22% decrease in home sale revenues, a 340 basis point decrease in gross margins from home sales and a 40 basis point increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sale revenues. The decrease in gross margin from home sales was driven largely by $77.7 million in inventory impairments during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $18.3 million in the same period in the prior year, an increase in incentive levels year-over-year and to a lesser extent increased land costs. The decrease in financial services pretax income was driven by our Mortgage Operations. The decrease in pretax income for our Mortgage Operations was driven by decreased loan origination volume due to the decrease in homes closed as well as special financing programs offered on loans locked during the year. This was partially offset by an increase in loans originated as a percentage of total homes closed ("Capture Rate"). Our financial services and homebuilding businesses each saw a decrease in interest income due to decreases in cash and short-term investments year-over-year.

---

Homebuilding pretax income for 2025 was $135.9 million, a decrease of $266.7 million from $402.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to a 40 basis point increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sale revenues, a 340 basis point decrease in gross margins from homes sales driven by a $59.4 million increase in inventory impairments and a 22% decrease in home sale revenues. This was partially offset by a $44.2 million decrease in transaction costs related to the Merger.

Our West segment experienced a $284.6 million year-over-year decrease in pretax income, due to an decrease in gross margin from home sales and a 28% decrease in home sale revenues. Our Mountain segment experienced a $65.0 million decrease in pretax income from the prior year, as a result of a decrease in gross margin from home sales and a 4% decrease in home sale revenues. Our East segment experienced a $72.5 million decrease in pretax income from the prior year, due primarily to a decrease in gross margin from home sales and a 27% decrease in home sale revenues. Our Corporate segment experienced a $155.4 million increase in pretax income from the prior year, due to costs incurred in 2024 in connection with the Merger, including the accelerated vesting of equity awards, key executives' transaction bonuses and transaction costs.

Total homebuilding assets increased 1% from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025, driven by our Homebuilding segments, partially offset by the Corporate segment. The increase in the homebuilding segments was driven by the West and East segments, due to increased inventory at period end, partially offset by the Mountain segment, which had decreased inventory at period end. The decrease in the Corporate segment was driven by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents as a result of cash used to purchase homebuilding inventory in 2025. This was partially offset by a decrease in the accounts receivable due from Parent.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, each of the homebuilding segments decrease in new home deliveries was due to a decrease in beginning backlog at the beginning of the respective periods and a decrease in net home sales during the respective periods. This decrease in new home deliveries was partially offset by the increase in new home deliveries driven by the full year of Woodside new home deliveries during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to new home deliveries post Merger during 2024. The increase in average selling price was due to a shift in mix to more higher priced communities.

*Gross Margin*

Our gross margin from home sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 340 basis points year-over-year from 17.9% to 14.5%. The decrease in gross margin from home sales was primarily due to inventory impairments and increased incentive levels, and to a lesser extent increased land costs.

Our gross margin from home sales are impacted by our historical land buying strategy, where we have targeted an owned and optioned lot supply of approximately two to three years worth of home closings. As a result, our land associated with homes closed are represented by more recent market values.

*Inventory Impairments*

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the decrease in our general and administrative expenses was driven by a decrease in salary related expenses, as the year ended December 31, 2024 included the vesting of equity awards and key executives' transaction bonuses in connection with the closing of the Merger. This was partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses driven by the full year of Woodside general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to having only recognized general and administrative expenses post Merger during 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, marketing expenses increased compared to the previous year driven by the full year of Woodside marketing expenses during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to having only recognized marketing expenses post Merger during 2024. To a lesser extent, the increase was due to spend for spec home maintenance and utilities as a result of higher levels of completed unsold homes.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, commissions expenses decreased due to decreases in home sale revenues partially offset by an increase in external broker commissions driven by higher participation.

During 2025, the Company updated its methodology for determining active subdivisions. Previously, a community would become active after its first five net sales. Now, a community is active after its first sale. Prior period disclosures were updated for both active subdivisions, average active subdivisions, and monthly absorption rate to align with the new methodology.

The dollar value and average selling prices of net new orders do not include financing incentives, as these forward commitments are entered into prior to the home sales and are not specific to an individual home.

<u>West Segment Commentary</u>

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the decrease in the number of net new orders was driven by a decrease in the monthly sales absorption rate due to decreased demand as a result of current market conditions, offset partially by an increase in average active subdivisions. The increase in the number of average active subdivisions was the result of the full year of Woodside results for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to just the post Merger period during 2024. The increase in the average selling price in our West segment was due to a change in mix to higher priced communities.

At December 31, 2025, we had 800 homes in backlog with a total value of $541.4 million, representing decreases of 21% and 18%, respectively, from December 31, 2024. The decrease in the number of homes in backlog was primarily a result of a decrease in net new orders during the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in average selling price in each of the homebuilding segments is due to a change in mix to higher priced communities. The dollar value and average selling prices of homes in backlog do not include financing incentives, as these forward commitments are entered into prior to the home sales and are not specific to an individual home.

The decrease in sold homes under construction or completed and increase in unsold homes completed is due to our pivot to build more spec homes and the slower sales pace during the year ended December 31, 2025 due to current market conditions. The decrease in unsold homes under construction is due to a decrease of home starts during the period.

Our total owned and optioned lots at December 31, 2025 were 35,216, a decrease of 8% from December 31, 2024. We believe that our total lot supply is sufficient to meet our operating needs, consistent with our philosophy of maintaining a two to three year supply of land. See **"Forward-Looking Statements"** above.

---

For the year ended December 31, 2025, our financial services pretax income decreased $40.3 million or 43% from the same period in the prior year. The decrease in financial services pretax income was driven by our Mortgage Operations and other financial services segments. The decrease in Mortgage Operations was driven by decreased volume due to our homebuilding operations, partially offset by an increased Capture Rate. The decrease in other financial services was driven by our insurance operations which saw a decrease in revenue due to a decrease in homes closed as well as an unfavorable adjustment to insurance reserves.

**Income Taxes**

We recorded an income tax provision of $37.6 million, $101.9 million and $125.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and our resulting effective income tax rates were 19.9%, 20.5% and 23.8%, respectively. Our tax provision and effective tax rate are driven by (i) pre-tax book income for the full year, adjusted for items that are deductible/non-deductible for tax purposes only (i.e., permanent items); (ii) benefits from federal energy credits; (iii) taxable income generated in state jurisdictions that varies from consolidated income and (iv) stock based compensation windfalls recorded as discrete items. The difference between our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the federal statutory rate of 21% was due to a 5.6% decrease in the effective tax rate due to the benefit of federal energy credits, partially offset by a 3.3% increase in the effective tax rate for state taxes.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

We use our liquidity and capital resources to (1) support our operations, including the purchase of land, land development and construction of homes; (2) provide working capital; and (3) provide mortgage loans for our homebuyers. Our liquidity includes our cash and cash equivalents, Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and Mortgage Repurchase Facilities (as defined below).

**Material Cash Requirements**

We are a party to many contractual obligations involving commitments to make payments to third parties. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Certain contractual obligations are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025, while others are considered future commitments. Our contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and related interest payments, payments due on our Mortgage Repurchase Facilities, purchase obligations related to expected acquisition of land under purchase agreements and land development agreements (many of which are secured by letters of credit or surety bonds) and operating leases. Other material cash requirements include land acquisition and development costs not yet contracted for, home construction costs, operating expenses, including our selling, general and administrative expenses, investments and funding of capital improvements and dividend payments.

At December 31, 2025, we had outstanding senior notes with varying maturities totaling an aggregate principal amount of $1.50 billion, with none payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the notes total $1.12 billion, with $64.2 million payable within 12 months. As of December 31, 2025, we had $32.3 million of required operating lease future minimum payments.

At December 31, 2025, we had deposits of $32.9 million in the form of cash and $16.1 million in the form of letters of credit that secured option contracts to purchase 6,488 lots for a total estimated purchase price of $535.0 million.

At December 31, 2025, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $677.5 million and $169.1 million, respectively, including $133.6 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit were approximately $343.5 million and $136.2 million, respectively. We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit. We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.

**Capital Resources**

Our capital structure is primarily a combination of (1) permanent financing, represented by stockholders' equity; (2) long-term financing, represented by our 3.850% senior notes due 2030, 2.500% senior notes due 2031, 6.000% senior notes due 2043, and 3.966% senior notes due 2061; (3) our Revolving Credit Facility; and (4) our Mortgage Repurchase Facilities. Because of our current balance of cash and cash equivalents, ability to access the capital markets, and available capacity under both our Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facilities, we believe that our capital resources are adequate to satisfy our short and long-term capital requirements, including meeting future payments on our senior notes as they become due. See **"Forward-Looking Statements"** above.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding senior notes through cash purchases, whether through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

**Senior Notes, Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facilities**

*Senior Notes*. Our senior notes are not secured and, while the senior note indentures contain some restrictions on secured debt and other transactions, they do not contain financial covenants. Our senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. We believe that we are in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants in the senior note indentures.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

*Revolving Credit Facility.* On November 19, 2024 the Company entered into an amended and restated unsecured revolving credit agreement ("Revolving Credit Facility") with a group of lenders, which may be used for general corporate purposes. On October 15, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement ("First Amendment") to its Revolving Credit Facility. The First Amendment increased the Aggregate Commitment to $1.40 billion (the "Commitment") and extended the Facility Termination Date of $1.36 billion of the facility commitments to October 15, 2029, with the remaining $40.0 million commitment continuing to terminate on November 17, 2028. The First Amendment also provides that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.90 billion (the "accordion" feature) upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $185.0 million sublimit for letters of credit.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR (in each case as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), plus an applicable margin between 1.125% and 1.625% per annum, or if selected by the Company, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 0.125% and 0.625% per annum. The "applicable margins" described above are determined by a schedule based on the leverage ratio of the Company, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for customary fees including commitment fees payable to each lender ranging from 0.15% to 0.30% per annum based on the Company's leverage ratio.

The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The term of the guarantees is through the termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. In the case of a default, the guarantors would be required to perform under the agreement. The financial covenants include a consolidated leverage test and interest coverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, breach of any financial covenant and change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, the Administrative Agent, with the consent or at the direction of the required lenders, may accelerate the payment of the obligations thereunder and exercise various other customary default remedies. We believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025.

We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were $25.8 million and $43.6 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. We had $0.0 million and $0.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $1.37 billion.

*Mortgage Repurchase Facilities.* HomeAmerican enters into Mortgage Repurchase Facilities with various lenders, which provide liquidity by providing for the sale of eligible mortgage loans with an agreement by HomeAmerican to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. HomeAmerican has entered into Mortgage Repurchase Facilities with two lenders, which provide HomeAmerican with committed repurchase facilities of up to an aggregate of $300.0 million as of December 31, 2025 (subject to increase by up to $150.0 million under certain conditions with respect to one of the lenders).

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, HomeAmerican had $106.3 million and $177.6 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican was obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facilities. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the mortgage repurchase facilities are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Pricing under the mortgage repurchase facilities are based on SOFR.

The Mortgage Repurchase Facilities contain various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, (i) a minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth requirement, (ii) a maximum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth ratio, (iii) a minimum adjusted net income requirement, and (iv) a minimum Liquidity requirement. The foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the mortgage repurchase facilities. We believe HomeAmerican was in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the mortgage repurchase facilities as of December 31, 2025.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

Effective April 16, 2025, HomeAmerican entered into a Waiver and Consent agreement with one of the Mortgage Repurchase Facilities lenders, in which the lender waived any events of default under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility arising with respect to an event of default as HomeAmerican was not in compliance by permitting the Adjusted Tangible Net Worth to be less than $21.0 million for the month ending February 28, 2025.

**SHUS Common Stock Repurchase Program**

Through April 19, 2024, we were authorized to repurchase up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under this repurchase program and the repurchase program ended upon the Merger.

**Consolidated Cash Flow**

Our operating cash flows are primarily impacted by: (1) land purchases and related development and construction of homes; (2) closing homes and the associated timing of collecting receivables from home closings; (3) the origination and subsequent sale of mortgage loans originated by HomeAmerican; (4) payments on accounts payables and accrued liabilities; and (5) funding for payroll. When we close on the sale of a house, our homebuilding subsidiaries will generally receive the proceeds from the sale of the homes within a few days of the home being closed. Therefore, our home sales receivable balance can increase or decrease from period to period based upon the timing of our home closings. Additionally, the amount of mortgage loans held-for-sale can be impacted period to period based upon the number of mortgage loans that were originated by HomeAmerican that have not been sold to third party purchasers and by the timing of fundings by third party mortgage purchasers. Accordingly, mortgage loans held-for-sale may increase if HomeAmerican originates more homes towards the end of one reporting period when compared with the same period in the previous year. HomeAmerican will generally sell mortgage loans it originates between 5 to 35 days after origination.

**Operating Cash Flow Activities**

During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $368.8 million compared with cash provided by operating activities of $183.0 million in the prior year period. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, one of the most significant sources of cash provided by operating activities was net income of $151.9 million and $394.5 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, included in net income was $77.7 million of inventory impairments, compared to $18.3 million during the prior year period. The most significant source of cash used by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 was cash used to increase inventory of $747.0 million compared to $324.8 million during the prior year. The increase in 2025 was the result of an increase of finished homes at the end of the period. Cash provided by the decrease in trade and other receivables for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $17.1 million compared to $35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease during the year ended December 31, 2025 was driven by a decrease of homes closed at the end of the period. Cash provided by the decrease in accounts receivable due from Parent was $23.5 million compared to the cash used in accounts receivable due from Parent of $34.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. This variance was driven by payments in connection with the Merger funded by the Company in 2024, which were repaid by Parent in 2025. Cash provided to decrease mortgage loans held-for-sale, net was $94.4 million compared to $21.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in mortgage loans held-for-sale was a result of a decrease in loan originations during 2025.

**Investing Cash Flow Activities**

During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $150.2 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $150.9 million. The primary driver of this increase is due to cash used in the increase in receivable from cash pooling arrangement with Parent of $211.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to decrease in receivables from cash pooling arrangement with Parent of $179.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. This was partially offset by cash provided by the maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases, of $82.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to none in 2025, driven by all outstanding marketable securities maturing during 2024.

**Financing Cash Flow Activities**

During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $301.8 million and $844.9 million respectively. The primary driver of this decrease was $611.4 million of cash used in distributions to Parent during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to none in 2025. The distribution to Parent during the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to the Company's funding of a portion of the consideration of the Merger. Cash used to fund dividend payments increased during the year ended December 31, 2025 to $195.2 million compared to $155.5 million in the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to a one-time dividend declared by Woodside in 2025 prior to and in connection with the Woodside Merger. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, cash used in the payments on mortgage repurchase facilities, net was $71.4 million and $27.4 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 there was a higher level of loan sales compared to loan originations at period end. Cash used in issuance of shares under stock-based compensation programs, net was $25.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to none during the year ended December 31, 2025. The change was driven by the merger and cancellation of stock during the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash used in the repayment of notes payable was $30.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to none in the prior year. This was driven by the maturity and payment on the Company's third party note payable.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management evaluates such estimates and judgments on an on-going basis and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates if conditions are significantly different in the future. See "**Forward-Looking Statements**" above.

Listed below are those estimates and policies that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application. Our critical accounting estimates and policies are as follows and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Homebuilding Inventory Valuation*. Refer to Note 1, *Summary of Significant Accounting Policies*, in the notes to the financial statements for information on the composition of the inventory balances.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360, *Property, Plant, and Equipment* ("ASC 360"), homebuilding inventories, excluding those classified as held for sale, are carried at cost unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the underlying subdivision may not be recoverable. We evaluate inventories for impairment at each quarter end on a subdivision level basis as each such subdivision represents the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. In making this determination, we review, among other things, the following for each subdivision:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual and trending "Operating Margin" (which is defined as home sale revenues less home cost of sales and all incremental costs associated directly with the subdivision, including sales commissions and marketing costs);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• forecasted Operating Margin for homes in backlog;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual and trending net home orders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• homes available for sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market information for each sub-market, including competition levels, home foreclosure levels, the size and style of homes currently being offered for sale and lot size; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• known or probable events indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our inventory may not be recoverable, assets are reviewed for impairment by comparing the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from an individual subdivision (including capitalized interest) to its carrying value. We generally determine the estimated fair value of each subdivision by calculating the present value of the estimated future cash flows using discount rates, which are Level 3 inputs (see Note 6, *Fair Value Measurements,* in the notes to the financial statements for definitions of fair value inputs), that are commensurate with the risk of the subdivision under evaluation. The evaluation for the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets for each individual subdivision can be impacted significantly by our estimates of future home sale revenues, home construction costs, and development costs per home, all of which are Level 3 inputs. These estimates of undiscounted future cash flows are dependent on specific market or sub-market conditions for each subdivision. While we consider available information to determine what we believe to be our best estimates as of the end of a reporting period, these estimates are subject to change in future reporting periods as facts and circumstances change. Local market-specific conditions that may impact these estimates for a subdivision include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• historical subdivision results, and actual and trending Operating Margin, base selling prices and home sales incentives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• forecasted Operating Margin for homes in backlog;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the intensity of competition within a market or sub-market, including publicly available home sales prices and home sales incentives offered by our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased levels of home foreclosures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the current sales pace for active subdivisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• subdivision specific attributes, such as location, availability and size of lots in the sub-market, desirability and uniqueness of subdivision location and the size and style of homes currently being offered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential for alternative home styles to respond to local market conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes by management in the sales strategy of a given subdivision; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• current local market economic and demographic conditions and related trends and forecasts.

These and other local market-specific conditions that may be present are considered by personnel in our homebuilding divisions as they prepare or update the forecasted assumptions for each subdivision. Quantitative and qualitative factors other than home sales prices could significantly impact the potential for future impairments. The sales objectives can differ among subdivisions, even within a given sub-market. For example, facts and circumstances in a given subdivision may lead us to price our homes with the objective of yielding a higher sales absorption pace, while facts and circumstances in another subdivision may lead us to price our homes to minimize deterioration in our gross margins from home sales, even though this could result in a slower sales absorption pace. Furthermore, the key assumptions included in our estimated future undiscounted cash flows may be interrelated. For example, a decrease in estimated base sales price or an increase in home sales incentives may result in a corresponding increase in sales absorption pace. Additionally, a decrease in the average sales price of homes to be sold and closed in future reporting periods for one subdivision that has not been generating what management believes to be an adequate sales absorption pace may impact the estimated cash flow assumptions of a nearby subdivision. Changes in our key assumptions, including estimated construction and land development costs, absorption pace and selling strategies could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates. Due to the number of possible scenarios that would result from various changes in these factors, we do not believe it is possible to develop a sensitivity analysis with a level of precision that would be meaningful to an investor.

If the undiscounted future cash flows of a subdivision are less than its carrying value, the carrying value of the subdivision is written down to its then estimated fair value. We determine the estimated fair value of each subdivision either: (1) by determining the present value of the estimated future cash flows at discount rates that are commensurate with the risk of the subdivision under evaluation; or (2) assessing the market value of the land in its current condition by considering the estimated price a willing buyer would pay for the land (other than in a forced liquidation), and recent land purchase transactions that we believe are indicators of fair value. The estimated future cash flows are the same for both our recoverability and fair value assessments. Factors we consider when determining the discount rate to be used for each subdivision include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of lots in a given subdivision;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount of future land development costs to be incurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks associated with the home construction process, including the stage of completion for the entire subdivision and the number of owned lots under construction; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the estimated remaining lifespan of the subdivision.

We allocate the impairments recorded between housing completed or under construction and land and land under development for each impaired subdivision based upon the status of construction of a home on each lot (i.e., if the lot is in housing completed or under construction, the impairment for that lot is recorded against housing completed or under construction). The allocation of impairment is the same with respect to each lot in a given subdivision. Changes in management's estimates, particularly the timing and amount of the estimated future cash inflows and outflows and forecasted average selling prices of homes to be sold and closed can materially affect any impairment calculation. Because our forecasted cash flows are impacted significantly by changes in market conditions, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Please see the "Inventory Impairments" section for a detailed discussion and analysis of our asset impairments.

If land is classified as held for sale, we measure it at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, we primarily rely upon the most recent negotiated price. If a negotiated price is not available, we will consider several factors including, but not limited to, current market conditions, recent comparable sales transactions and market analysis studies. If the fair value less estimated costs to sell is lower than the current carrying value, the land is impaired down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

*Warranty Accrual.* Our homes are sold with limited third-party warranties. We record expenses and warranty accruals for general and structural warranty claims, as well as accruals for known, unusual warranty-related expenditures. A warranty

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

accrual is recorded for each home closed based upon historical payment experience in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. The determination of the warranty accrual rate for closed homes and the evaluation of our warranty accrual balance at period end are based on an internally developed analysis that includes known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including, among other things, our trends in historical warranty payment levels and warranty payments for claims not considered to be normal and recurring. Actual future warranty costs could differ from currently estimated amounts. A 10% change in the historical warranty rates used to estimate our warranty accrual would not result in a material change in our accrual.

*Insurance Reserves.* The establishment of reserves for estimated losses associated with insurance policies issued by StarAmerican are based on actuarial studies that include known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including our experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim payment patterns, pending levels of unpaid claims, product mix or concentration, claim severity, frequency patterns depending on the business conducted, and changing regulatory and legal environments. Historical trends in claim severity and frequency patterns have been inconsistent and we believe they may continue to fluctuate. It is possible that changes in the insurance payment experience used in estimating our ultimate insurance losses could have a material impact on our insurance reserves. A 10% increase in both the claim frequency and the average cost per claim used to estimate the reserves would result in an increase in our insurance reserves and an associated increase in expense of approximately $21.2 million. A 10% decrease in both the claim frequency and the average cost per claim would result in a decrease in our insurance reserves and an associated reduction in expense of $19.2 million.

*Litigation Accruals.* In the normal course of business, we are a defendant in claims primarily relating to premises liability, product liability and personal injury claims. These claims seek relief from us under various theories, including breach of implied and express warranty, negligence, strict liability, misrepresentation and violation of consumer protection statutes. We have accrued for losses that may be incurred with respect to legal claims based upon information provided by our legal counsel, including counsel's on-going evaluation of the merits of the claims and defenses and the level of estimated insurance coverage. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, actual results could vary from those accruals and could have a material impact on our results of operations.

*Home Sale Revenue Recognition for Homebuilding Segments.* We recognize home sale revenues from home deliveries when we have satisfied the performance obligations within the sales agreement, which is generally when title to and possession of the home are transferred to the buyer at the home closing date. Revenue from a home delivery includes the base sales price and any purchased options and upgrades and is reduced for any sales price incentives.

In certain states where we build, we are not always able to complete certain outdoor features (such as landscaping or pools) prior to closing the home. To the extent these separate deliverables are not complete upon the closing of a home, we defer home sale revenues related to incomplete outdoor features, and recognize that revenue upon completion of the outdoor features.

*Land Sale Revenue Recognition for Homebuilding Segments:* We recognize land sale revenues when title to the property has been transferred to the buyer, adequate consideration has been received, and the Company has no significant future performance obligations.

*Revenue Recognition for HomeAmerican:* Revenues recorded by HomeAmerican primarily reflect (1) origination fees and (2) the corresponding sale, or expected future sale, of a loan, which will include the estimated earnings from either the release or retention of a loan's servicing rights. Origination fees are recognized when a loan is originated. When an interest rate lock commitment is made to a customer, we record the expected gain or loss on sale of the mortgage, plus the estimated earnings from the expected sale of the associated servicing rights, adjusted for a pull-through percentage (which is defined as the likelihood that an interest rate lock commitment will be originated), as revenue. As the interest rate lock commitment gets closer to being originated, the expected gain on the sale of that loan plus its servicing rights is updated to reflect current market value and the increase or decrease in the fair value of that interest rate lock commitment is recorded through revenues. At the same time, the expected pull-through percentage of the interest rate lock commitment to be originated is updated based upon current market conditions and the remaining time until loan origination and, if there has been a change, revenues are adjusted as necessary. After origination, our mortgage loans, which could also include their servicing rights, are sold to third-party purchasers in accordance with sale agreements entered into by us with a third-party purchaser of the loans. We make representations and warranties with respect to the status of loans transferred in the sale agreements. The sale agreements generally include statements acknowledging the transfer of the loans is intended by both parties to constitute a sale. Sale of a mortgage loan has occurred when the following criteria, among others, have been met: (1) fair consideration has been paid for transfer of the loan by a third party in an arms-length transaction, (2) all the usual risks and rewards of ownership that are in substance a sale have been transferred by us to the third party purchaser; and (3) we do not have a substantial continuing involvement with the mortgage loan.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

We carry interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale at fair value.

*Home Cost of Sales*. Refer to the Note 1, *Summary of Significant Accounting Policies*, in the notes to the financial statements for information on the composition of home cost of sales. When a home is closed, we generally have not yet paid or incurred all costs necessary to complete the construction of the home and certain land development costs. At the time of a home closing, we compare the home construction budgets to actual recorded costs to determine the additional estimated costs remaining to be paid on each closed home. For amounts not incurred or paid as of the time of closing a home, we record an estimated accrual associated with certain home construction and land development costs. Generally, these accruals are established based upon contracted work which has yet to be paid, open work orders not paid at the time of home closing, as well as land completion costs more likely than not to be incurred, and represent estimates believed to be adequate to cover the expected remaining home construction and land development costs. We monitor the adequacy of these accruals on a house-by-house basis and in the aggregate on both a market-by-market and consolidated basis.

*Goodwill.* In accordance with ASC Topic 350, *Intangibles–Goodwill and Other ("ASC* 350"*)*, we evaluate goodwill for possible impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We use a three-step process to assess the realizability of goodwill. The first step is a qualitative assessment that analyzes current economic indicators associated with a particular reporting unit. For example, we analyze changes in economic, market and industry conditions, business strategy, cost factors, and financial performance, among others, to determine if there are indicators of a significant decline in the fair value of a particular reporting unit. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount then no further testing is required.

If a qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we will proceed to the second step where we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on discounted future probability-weighted cash flows. If this step indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, we will proceed to the third step where the fair value of the reporting unit will be allocated to assets and liabilities as they would in a business combination. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value calculated in the third step.

Based on our analysis, we have concluded that as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our goodwill was not impaired.

**RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS**

**Item 7A. *Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.***

We have a cash and investment policy that enables us to achieve an appropriate investment return while preserving principal and managing risk. Under this policy, cash and cash equivalents may include U.S. government securities, commercial bank deposits, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, money market funds, and time deposits, with maturities of three months or less. Marketable securities under this policy may include holdings in U.S. government securities with a maturity of more than three months, equity securities and corporate debt securities.

As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents included commercial bank deposits and money market funds.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on mortgage loans held-for-sale, mortgage interest rate lock commitments, marketable securities and debt. Financial instruments utilized in the normal course of business by HomeAmerican include forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period, and best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded and closed. Such contracts are the only significant financial and derivative instruments utilized by SHUS. HomeAmerican's mortgage loans in process for which an interest rate lock commitment had been made to a borrower that had not closed at December 31, 2025 had an aggregate principal balance of $75.8 million, of which $74.7 million had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser. In addition, HomeAmerican had mortgage loans held-for-sale with an aggregate principal balance of $147.1 million at December 31, 2025, of which $98.4 million had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser. In order to hedge the changes in fair value of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale that had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser, HomeAmerican had forward sales of securities totaling $154.5 million and $189.0 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

HomeAmerican provides mortgage loans that generally are sold forward and subsequently delivered to a third-party purchaser between 5 and 35 days. Forward commitments are used for non-trading purposes to sell mortgage loans and hedge price risk due to fluctuations in interest rates on rate-locked mortgage loans in process that have not closed. Due to this economic hedging philosophy, the market risk associated with these mortgages is limited. For forward sales commitments, as well as commitments to originate mortgage loans that are still outstanding at the end of a reporting period, we record the fair value of the derivatives in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income with an offset to either derivative assets or liabilities, depending on the nature of the change.

We utilize our Revolving Credit Facility, our Mortgage Repurchase Facilities and senior notes in our financing strategy. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but do not affect our earnings or cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay our senior notes prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value do not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For variable rate debt such as our Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facilities, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair value of the outstanding borrowing on the debt facilities, but does affect our earnings and cash flows. See "**Forward-Looking Statements**" above.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

At December 31, 2025, we had $106.3 million of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facilities. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facilities are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported under Mortgage Repurchase Facilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The following table provides the maturities, average interest rate and estimated fair value of significant financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates at December 31, 2025.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Sekisui House U.S., Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sekisui House U.S., Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and 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 "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

**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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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 and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

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 Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate 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 consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Evaluation of Insurance Reserves* |
| *Description of the Matter* | At December 31, 2025, insurance reserves totaled $100.8 million for the estimated incurred cost of construction defect claims. As more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company establishes the reserves for estimated losses based on actuarial studies that include known facts and interpretations of circumstances. |
|  | Auditing the Company's estimate of the reserves was especially challenging because the estimate is based on actuarial projections of future claims derived from historical claims data. There is significant uncertainty in the actuarial projections as the potential claim payments will be made over a long period of time, they assume that historical claims are a reasonable proxy of future claims, and the claim amounts can be significantly impacted by changes in product mix, quality of construction, units sold, and geographic location of sold units. |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | We obtained an understanding of the Company's process to estimate the reserves. For example, we obtained an understanding over management's review of the actuary's analysis, including management's procedures over the underlying data used by the actuary and the consideration by management over whether historical claim information requires adjustment.  |

| | To test the estimate of reserves, our audit procedures included, among others, utilizing an internal actuarial specialist to evaluate the actuarial study utilized by management and to perform independent calculations to determine a range of reasonable reserves and to compare this range to the recorded insurance reserves. Additionally, we tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying claims data provided to management's actuarial specialist, evaluated the change in the reserves from the prior year based upon current year trends in claim data, and performed hindsight reviews of past estimates compared to actual claim payments. |
|  | *Evaluation of Inventories for Impairment* |
| *Description of the Matter* | As of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported inventories of approximately $5.7 billion and impairment charges of $77.7 million. The Company's inventories are primarily associated with subdivisions where it intends to construct and sell homes, including models and unsold homes. As more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, management evaluates inventories for impairment at each quarter end on a subdivision level basis. |
|  | Auditing the Company's evaluation of inventories for impairment involved subjective auditor judgment to evaluate management's home sales revenue assumption in its future undiscounted and discounted cash flows. The estimated future home sales revenue assumption is highly judgmental as it is a forward-looking assumption that can be significantly affected by sub-market information including competition, customer demand for size and style of homes, and pricing trends in home sale orders. Differences or changes in this significant assumption could have a material impact on the Company's analysis. |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | We obtained an understanding over the Company's inventory impairment process. For example, we obtained an understanding over management's review of the significant assumptions and data inputs utilized in its test for recoverability and, when applicable, its measurement of impairment losses. |
|  | Our testing of the Company's impairment analysis included, among other procedures, evaluating the significant assumptions and operating data used to estimate the future undiscounted cash flows. To test the home sales revenue assumption included in the estimated future undiscounted cash flows we compared the home sales revenue assumption to historical subdivision operating trends, performed sensitivity analyses over the home sales revenue assumption and evaluated sub-market industry data. |

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Principles of Consolidation*. The Consolidated Financial Statements of Sekisui House U.S., Inc. ("SHUS," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our" which refers to Sekisui House U.S., Inc. and its subsidiaries) include the accounts of SHUS and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

*Merger.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*On April 19, 2024, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 17, 2024 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, SH Residential Holdings, LLC ("Parent" or "SHRH"), Clear Line, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and, solely for the purposes of Section 6.2, Section 6.17 and Section 9.15 of the Merger Agreement, Sekisui House, Ltd. ("Guarantor" or "SHL"), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). See further information in Note 22, *Merger.*

*Woodside Merger.* On December 1, 2025, Parent contributed (for no consideration) to the Company all of Parent's interests in its wholly owned subsidiary Woodside Group, LLC ("Woodside"). Woodside is a homebuilding company with operations in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada and Utah.

Immediately prior to the contribution, the sole stockholder of the Company was also the sole stockholder of Woodside. As a result of the common ownership, upon closing of the transaction, the acquisition was considered a common-control transaction and was outside the scope of the business combination guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, *Business Combinations ("*ASC 805-50"). The entities are deemed to be under common control as of April 19, 2024, which was the date that the sole stockholder acquired control of the Company and, therefore, held control over both companies. The consolidated financial statements incorporate Woodside financial results and financial information beginning on April 19, 2024. See further information in Note 23, *Common Control Merger*.

*Description of Business*. We have homebuilding operations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington. The primary functions of our homebuilding operations include land acquisition and development, home construction, purchasing, marketing, merchandising, sales and customer service. We build and sell primarily single-family detached homes, which are designed and built to meet local customer preferences. We are the general contractor for all of our projects and retain subcontractors for site development and home construction.

Our financial services operations consist of HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation ("HomeAmerican"), which originates mortgage loans, primarily for our homebuyers, American Home Insurance Agency, Inc. ("American Home Insurance"), which offers third-party insurance products to our homebuyers, and American Home Title and Escrow Company ("American Home Title"), which provides title agency services to the Company and our homebuyers in Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Nevada and Virginia. The financial services operations also include StarAmerican Insurance Ltd. ("StarAmerican"), which provides insurance coverage to the majority of our homebuilding subsidiaries, which includes certain assumed liabilities of subcontractors under the Company's wrap program.

*Presentation*. Our balance sheet presentation is unclassified due to the fact that certain assets and liabilities have both short and long-term characteristics.

*Use of Accounting Estimates*. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

*Cash and Cash Equivalents*. The Company periodically invests funds in highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, such as U.S. government securities, commercial bank deposits, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, money market funds and time deposits, which are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows.

*Marketable securities.* Our debt securities consist of U.S. government treasury securities with original maturities upon acquisition of less than six months and are treated as available-for-sale investments and, as such, are recorded at fair value with

F - 9

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

all changes in fair value initially recorded through other comprehensive income. Debt securities are reviewed on a regular basis for impairment. We had no marketable securities at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

*Restricted Cash*. We receive cash earnest money deposits from our customers who enter into home sale contracts. In certain states we are restricted from using such deposits for general purposes, unless we take measures to release state imposed restrictions on such deposits received from homebuyers, which may include posting blanket surety bonds. We had $0.0 million and $1.2 million in restricted cash related to homebuyer deposits at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Trade and Other Receivables*. Trade and other receivables primarily includes home sale receivables, which reflects cash to be received from title companies or outside brokers associated with closed homes. Generally, we will receive cash from title companies and outside brokers within a few days of the home being closed. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, receivables from contracts with customers were $5.3 million and $13.6 million, respectively, and are included in trade and other receivables on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

*Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale, net*. Mortgage loans held-for-sale are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices and estimated market prices received from a third-party. Using fair value allows an offset of the changes in fair values of the mortgage loans and the derivative and financial instruments used to hedge them without having to comply with the requirements for hedge accounting.

*Inventories*. Our inventories are primarily associated with communities where we intend to construct and sell homes, including models and unsold homes. Inventories includes the costs of direct land acquisition, land development and construction, capitalized interest, real estate taxes and indirect construction costs, which include field construction management salaries and benefits, utilities and other construction related costs.

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, *Property, Plant, and Equipment* ("ASC 360"), homebuilding inventories, excluding those classified as held for sale, are carried at cost unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the underlying subdivision may not be recoverable. We evaluate inventories for impairment at each quarter end on a subdivision level basis as each such subdivision represents the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. In making this determination, we review, among other things, the following for each subdivision:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual and trending "Operating Margin" (which is defined as home sale revenues less home cost of sales and all incremental costs associated directly with the subdivision, including sales commissions and marketing costs);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• forecasted Operating Margin for homes in backlog;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual and trending net home orders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• homes available for sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market information for each sub-market, including competition levels, home foreclosure levels, the size and style of homes currently being offered for sale and lot size; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• known or probable events indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our inventory may not be recoverable, assets are reviewed for impairment by comparing the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from an individual subdivision (including capitalized interest) to its carrying value. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the subdivision's carrying value, the carrying value of the subdivision is written down to its then estimated fair value. We generally determine the estimated fair value of each subdivision by calculating the present value of the estimated future cash flows using discount rates, which are Level 3 inputs (see Note 6, *Fair Value Measurements,* in the notes to the financial statements for definitions of fair value inputs), that are commensurate with the risk of the subdivision under evaluation. The evaluation for the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets for each individual subdivision can be impacted significantly by our estimates of future home sale revenues, home construction costs, and development costs per home, all of which are Level 3 inputs.

If land is classified as held for sale, in accordance with ASC 360, we measure it at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, we primarily rely upon the most recent negotiated price which is a Level 3 input (see Note 6, *Fair Value Measurements*, for definitions of fair value inputs). If a negotiated price is not available, we will consider several factors including, but not limited to, current market conditions, recent comparable sales transactions

and market analysis studies. If the fair value less estimated costs to sell is lower than the current carrying value, the land is impaired down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

*Costs Related to Sales Facilities.* Costs related to interior and exterior upgrades to the home that will be sold as part of the home, such as wall treatments and additional upgraded landscaping, are recorded as inventories. Costs to furnish and ready the model home or on-site sales facility that will not be sold as part of the model home, such as furniture, construction of the sales facility parking lot or construction of the sales center, are capitalized as property and equipment, net. Other costs incurred related to the marketing of the community and readying the model home for sale are expensed as incurred.

*Property and Equipment, net*. Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. For property and equipment related to on-site sales facilities, depreciation is recorded using the units of production method as homes are delivered. For all other property and equipment, depreciation is recorded using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 2 to 16 years. Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment was $36.3 million, $38.0 million and $23.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the homebuilding or expenses in the financial services sections of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The following table sets forth the cost and carrying value of our homebuilding property and equipment by major asset category.

*Deferred Tax Assets, net*. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between (1) the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and (2) the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using current enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded against a deferred tax asset if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

*Variable Interest Entities*. In accordance with ASC Topic 810, *Consolidation* ("ASC 810"), we analyze our land option contracts and other contractual arrangements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are variable interest entities ("VIEs") and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, ASC 810 requires a company to consolidate a VIE if the company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider, among other things, whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact VIE's economic performance, including, but not limited to, determining or limiting the scope or purpose of the VIE, selling or transferring property owned or controlled by the VIE, or arranging financing for the VIE. We also consider whether we have the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. We have concluded that, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing land under land option contracts.

*Investments in Unconsolidated Entities.* The equity method of accounting is used for investments in unconsolidated entities over which the Company has significant influence. The Company recognizes its proportionate share of earnings and losses of the unconsolidated entities under the equity method of accounting, which is recorded in interest and other income in the homebuilding section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Investments in unconsolidated entities that do not meet the requirements for equity method accounting are accounted for at cost. All investments in unconsolidated entities are included in investment in unconsolidated entities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The timing of cash flows related to the unconsolidated entities and any related financing agreements varies by entity. If additional capital contributions are required and approved by the unconsolidated entity, the Company would need to contribute its pro rata portion of those capital needs in order to not dilute the Company's ownership in the unconsolidated entity. While future capital contributions may be required, the Company believes the total amount of such contributions will be limited. The Company's maximum financial exposure related to the unconsolidated entities won't exceed the combined investment and limited recourse guaranty totals.

Investment in unconsolidated entities accounted for under the cost method totaled $3.0 million, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company has two investments in unconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method, totaling $4.7 million and $40.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company's ownership interest within these entities ranged from 20% to 35%.

Investments in unconsolidated entities are tested for recoverability in accordance with ASC Topic 323, *Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures* ("ASC 323"). If the loss in the value of an investment is other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all investments in unconsolidated entities were deemed recoverable.

The Company performs ongoing VIE reassessments under ASC 810 to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any of its investments in unconsolidated entities. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of its investments. Therefore, no unconsolidated entities were required to be consolidated as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

*Goodwill.* In accordance with ASC Topic 350, *Intangibles–Goodwill and Other ("ASC* 350"*)*, we evaluate goodwill for possible impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We use a three-step process to assess the realizability of goodwill. The first step is a qualitative assessment that analyzes current economic indicators associated with a particular reporting unit. For example, we analyze changes in economic, market and industry conditions, business strategy, cost factors, and financial performance, among others, to determine if there are indicators of a significant decline in the fair value of a particular reporting unit. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount then no further testing is required.

If a qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we will proceed to the second step where we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on discounted future probability-weighted cash flows. If this step indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, we will proceed to the third step where the fair value of the reporting unit will be allocated to assets and liabilities as they would in a business combination. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value calculated in the third step.

Based on our analysis, we have concluded that as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our goodwill was not impaired.

*Liability for Unrecognized Tax Benefits.* ASC Topic 740, *Income Taxes*, provides guidance for the recognition and measurement in financial statements of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process, the first step being recognition. We determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. The technical merits of a tax position derive from both statutory and judicial authority (legislation and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings, and case law) and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the tax position. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements.

F - 12

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

The second step is measurement. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate resolution with a taxing authority. Once the gross unrecognized tax benefit is determined, we also accrue for any interest and penalties, as well as any offsets expected from resultant amendments to federal or state tax returns. We record the aggregate effect of these items in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. To the extent this tax position would be offset against a similar deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed, the liability is treated as a reduction to the related deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. Otherwise, we record the corresponding liability in accrued and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

*Warranty Accrual*. Our homes are sold with limited third-party warranties and, under our agreement with the issuer of the third-party warranties, we are responsible for performing all of the work for the first two years of the warranty coverage, and paying for certain work required to be performed subsequent to year two. We record accruals for general and structural warranty claims, as well as accruals for known, unusual warranty-related expenditures. Our warranty accrual is recorded based upon historical payment experience in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. The determination of the warranty accrual rate for closed homes and the evaluation of our warranty accrual balance at period end are based on an internally developed analysis that includes known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including, among other things, our trends in historical warranty payment levels and warranty payments for claims not considered to be normal and recurring.

Warranty payments are recorded against the warranty accrual. Additional reserves may be established for known, unusual warranty-related expenditures not covered through the independent warranty accrual analysis performed by us. Warranty payments incurred for an individual house may differ from the related reserve established for the home at the time it was closed. The actual disbursements for warranty claims are evaluated in the aggregate to determine if an adjustment to the historical warranty accrual should be recorded.

We assess the reasonableness and adequacy of the reserve and the per-unit reserve amount originally included in home cost of sales, as well as the timing of the reversal of any excess reserve on a quarterly basis, using historical payment data and other relevant information. Our warranty accrual is included in accrued and other liabilities in the homebuilding section of our consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to our warranty accrual are recorded as an increase or reduction to home cost of sales in the homebuilding section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. See Note 11, *Warranty Accrual,* to the consolidated financial statements.

*Insurance Reserves.* The establishment of reserves for estimated losses associated with insurance policies issued by StarAmerican are based on actuarial studies that include known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including our experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim payment patterns, pending levels of unpaid claims, product mix or concentration, claim severity, frequency patterns depending on the business conducted, and changing regulatory and legal environments. It is possible that changes in the insurance payment experience used in estimating our ultimate insurance losses could have a material impact on our insurance reserves. See Note 12, *Insurance and Construction Defect Claim Reserves*, to the consolidated financial statements.

*Self-Insurance Reserves for Construction Defect Claims.* The establishment of reserves for estimated losses to be incurred by our homebuilding subsidiaries associated with (1) the self-insured retention ("SIR") portion of construction defect claims that are expected to be covered under either third-party insurance policies or insurance policies with StarAmerican and (2) the entire cost of any construction defect claims that are not expected to be covered by insurance policies are based on actuarial studies that include known facts similar to those established for our insurance reserves. See Note 12, *Insurance and Construction Defect Claim Reserves*, to the consolidated financial statements.

*Litigation Reserves.* We and certain of our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various cases. We reserve for estimated exposure with respect to these cases based upon currently available information on each case. See Note 16, *Commitments and Contingencies*, to the consolidated financial statements.

*Derivative and Financial Instruments*. We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on mortgage loans held-for-sale, mortgage interest rate lock commitments, marketable securities and debt. Financial instruments utilized in the normal course of business by HomeAmerican include forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period, and best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price

subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded and closed. These instruments are the only significant derivative and financial instruments utilized by SHUS to hedge against fluctuations in interest rates. For forward sales commitments, forward sales of mortgage-backed securities and commitments to originate mortgage loans that are still outstanding at the end of a reporting period, we record the changes in fair value of these financial instruments in revenues in the financial services section of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income with an offset to either other assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the financial services section of our consolidated balance sheets, depending on the nature of the change. For further discussion of our policies regarding interest rate lock commitments, see our "Revenue Recognition for HomeAmerican" accounting policy section below. There are no credit-risk related contingent features within our derivative agreements, and counterparty risk is considered minimal.

*Revenue Recognition for Homebuilding Segments.* We recognize home sale revenues from home deliveries when we have satisfied the performance obligations within the sales agreement, which is generally when title to and possession of the home are transferred to the buyer at the home closing date. Revenue from a home delivery includes the base sales price and any purchased options and upgrades and is reduced for any sales price incentives.

In certain states where we build, we are not always able to complete certain outdoor features (such as landscaping or pools) prior to closing the home. To the extent these separate deliverables are not complete upon the closing of a home, we defer home sale revenues related to incomplete outdoor features, and recognize that revenue upon completion of the outdoor features.

Revenue expected to be recognized in any future year related to remaining performance obligations (if any) and contract liabilities expected to be recognized as revenue, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, is not material.

*Land and lot revenue for Homebuilding Segments.* Revenue and cost of sales from land sales are recognized when title to the property has been transferred to the buyer, adequate consideration has been received, and the Company has no significant future performance obligations. Effective December 1, 2025, after the Woodside Merger, the Company aligned its accounting policy with Woodside, considering land sale revenues as an output of the entity's ordinary activities prospectively under ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers.* Previous to December 1, 2025, land sale revenues and land cost of sales are included in other income (expense) within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Total land sale revenues of $11.0 million and $18.2 million and land cost of sales of $11.4 million and $16.5 million were recognized in other income (expense) during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023, respectively. There were no land sales in the year ended December 31, 2024.

*Other revenue for Homebuilding Segments.* Other revenue primarily consists of project management fees earned by the Company for construction management services provided to customers and profit participation agreements contained in some land and lot sale contracts. Revenue from project management arrangements is recognized on either a completion of milestones basis or as costs are incurred by the Company.

*Revenue Recognition for HomeAmerican*. Revenues recorded by HomeAmerican primarily reflect (1) origination fees and (2) the corresponding sale, or expected future sale, of a loan, which will include the estimated earnings from either the release or retention of a loan's servicing rights. Origination fees are recognized when a loan is originated. When an interest rate lock commitment is made to a customer, we record the expected gain on sale of the mortgage, plus the estimated earnings from the expected sale of the associated servicing rights, adjusted for a pull-through percentage (which is defined as the likelihood that an interest rate lock commitment will be originated), as revenue. As the interest rate lock commitment gets closer to being originated, the expected gain on the sale of that loan plus its servicing rights is updated to reflect current market value and the increase or decrease in the fair value of that interest rate lock commitment is recorded through revenues. At the same time, the expected pull-through percentage of the interest rate lock commitment to be originated is updated based upon current market conditions and, if there has been a change, revenues are adjusted as necessary. After origination, our mortgage loans, generally including their servicing rights, are sold to third-party purchasers in accordance with sale agreements entered into by us with a third-party purchaser of the loans. We make representations and warranties with respect to the status of loans transferred in the sale agreements. The sale agreements generally include statements acknowledging the transfer of the loans is intended by both parties to constitute a sale. Sale of a mortgage loan has occurred when the following criteria, among others, have been met: (1) fair consideration has been paid for transfer of the loan by a third party in an arms-length transaction, (2) all the usual risks and rewards of ownership that are in substance a sale have been transferred by us to the third party purchaser; and (3) we do not have a substantial continuing involvement with the mortgage loan.

F - 14

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

We measure mortgage loans held-for-sale at fair value with the changes in fair value being reported in earnings at each reporting date. Net gains on the sale of mortgage loans are included as a component of revenues in the financial services section of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

*Home Cost of Sales*. Home cost of sales includes the specific construction costs of each home and all applicable land acquisition, land development and related costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred), warranty costs and finance and closing costs. We use the specific identification method for the purpose of accumulating home construction costs and allocate costs to each lot within a subdivision associated with land acquisition and land development based upon relative fair value of the lots prior to home construction. Lots within a subdivision typically have comparable fair values, and, as such, we generally allocate costs equally to each lot within a subdivision. We record all home cost of sales when a home is closed and performance obligations have been completed on a house-by-house basis.

When a home is closed, we may not have paid for all costs necessary to complete the construction of the home. This includes (1) construction that has been completed on a house but has not yet been billed or (2) work still to be performed on a home (such as limited punch-list items or certain outdoor features). For each of these items, we create an estimate of the total expected costs to be incurred and, with the exclusion of outdoor features, the estimated total costs for those items, less any amounts paid to date, are included in home cost of sales. Actual results could differ from such estimates. For incomplete outdoor features, we will defer the revenue and any cost of sales on this separate stand-alone deliverable until complete.

*Stock-Based Compensation.* ASC Topic 718, *Compensation—Stock Compensation* ("ASC 718") requires that share-based compensation expense be measured and recognized at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted under compensation arrangements. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock option awards requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, annual forfeiture rates and the expected life of an award. For stock option awards granted with just service and/or performance conditions, we estimate the fair value using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. For any stock option awards granted that contain a market condition, we estimate the fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Both the Black-Scholes option pricing model and Monte Carlo simulation utilize the following inputs to calculate the estimated fair value of stock options: (1) closing price of our common stock on the measurement date (generally the date of grant); (2) exercise price; (3) expected stock option life; (4) expected volatility; (5) risk-free interest rate; and (6) expected dividend yield rate. The expected life of employee stock options represents the period for which the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is derived primarily from historical exercise patterns. The expected volatility is determined based on our review of the implied volatility that is derived from the price of exchange traded options of the Company. The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of our employee stock options. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on our historical dividend payouts. We determine the estimated fair value of the stock option awards on the date they are granted. The fair values recorded for previously granted stock option awards are not adjusted as subsequent changes in the foregoing assumptions occur; for example, an increase or decrease in the price of our common stock. However, changes in the foregoing inputs, particularly the price of our common stock, expected stock option life and expected volatility, significantly change the estimated fair value of future grants of stock options.

An annual forfeiture rate is estimated at the time of grant, and revised if necessary, in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs from our estimate.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recently Issued Accounting Standards**

**Adoption of New Accounting Standards**

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (2) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) (disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes) as well as individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid net of refunds, (3) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (disaggregated between domestic and foreign) and (4) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (disaggregated by federal, state and foreign). The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, while retrospective application is permitted. We adopted this amendment in the fourth quarter of 2025. As a result of the adoption, there was no material impact on our consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Footnote 13 (Income Taxes) was updated to comply with the new required disclosures.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted** 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" ("ASU 2024-03"). The amendments in this update enhance disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions in the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets" ("ASU-2025-05"), which allows entities to use the practical expedient to estimate expected credit losses. ASU 2025-05 will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and interim reporting periods within this annual reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-05 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 **4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment Reporting**

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), or decision-making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. We have identified our CODM as one key executive—the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The CODM's evaluation of segment performance is based on segment pretax income for all reportable segments. Pretax income is used at the segment level for forecasting and actual results to evaluate performance of each segment and further assist in decision making regarding allocation of capital and other resources between segments.

We have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment. Our homebuilding operating segments have been aggregated into the reportable segments noted below because they are similar in the following regards: (1) economic characteristics; (2) housing products; (3) class of homebuyer; (4) regulatory environments; and (5) methods used to construct and sell homes. Our homebuilding reportable segments conducted ongoing operations in the following states:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• West (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mountain (Colorado, Idaho and Utah)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• East (Florida, Maryland, Tennessee and Virginia)

Our financial services business consists of the following operating segments: (1) HomeAmerican; (2) StarAmerican; (3) American Home Insurance; and (4) American Home Title. Due to its contributions to consolidated pretax income we consider HomeAmerican to be a reportable segment ("Mortgage Operations"). The remaining operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment ("other") because they do not individually exceed 10 percent of (1) consolidated revenue; (2) the greater of (a) combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or (b) the positive value of the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported losses; or (3) consolidated assets.

Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating divisions by centralizing key administrative functions such as finance, treasury, information technology, insurance, risk management, litigation and human resources. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to the homebuilding operating segments based on their respective percentages of assets, and to a lesser degree, a portion of Corporate expenses are allocated to the financial services segments. A majority of Corporate's personnel and resources are primarily dedicated to activities relating to the homebuilding segments, and, therefore, the balance of any unallocated Corporate expenses is included in the homebuilding operations section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The following tables present operating results relating to our homebuilding and financial services operations:

Diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2023 excluded options to purchase approximately 15,000 of common stock because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company no longer has public traded securities and therefore did not present EPS for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value Measurements**

ASC Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurements* ("ASC 820"), defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table sets forth the fair values and methods used for measuring the fair values of financial instruments on a recurring basis, except those for which the carrying values approximate fair values:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | | Fair Value | Fair Value |
| Financial Instrument | Hierarchy | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|  |  | (Dollars in thousands) | (Dollars in thousands) |
| Mortgage loans held-for-sale, net | Level 2 | $142418 | $236806 |
| Derivative and financial instruments, net |  |  |  |
| Interest rate lock commitments | Level 2 | $(6398) | $(277) |
| Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities | Level 2 | $(3432) | $4047 |
| Mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments | Level 2 | $80 | $515 |
| Best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments | Level 2 | $(7) | $3 |

---

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

*Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale, Net.* Our mortgage loans held-for-sale, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include (1) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are under commitments to sell and (2) mortgage loans held-for-sale that were not under commitments to sell. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $46.6 million and $95.6 million, respectively, in fair value of mortgage loans held-for-sale that were under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was based on quoted market prices for those mortgage loans, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $95.9 million and $141.2 million, respectively, in fair value of mortgage loans held-for-sale that were not under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was primarily based upon the estimated market price received from a third-party, which is a Level 2 fair value input. The unpaid principal balances of all mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $147.1 million and $251.9 million, respectively.

Gains (losses) on sales of mortgage loans, net, are included as a component of revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recorded loss on mortgage loans held-for-sale, net of $109.3 million, $13.6 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.

*Derivative and financial instruments, net.* Our derivatives and financial instruments, which include (1) interest rate lock commitments, (2) forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, (3) mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments and (4) best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on market prices for similar instruments. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recorded net gains (losses) on these derivative and financial instruments of $(6.4) million, $7.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The following table sets forth the notional amounts of derivative and financial instruments at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

| Best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments | $4628 | $1306 |

For the financial assets and liabilities that the Company does not reflect at fair value, the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

*Cash and cash equivalents (excluding debt securities with an original maturity of* three *months or less), restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts receivable due from parent, prepaids and other assets, accounts payable, related party payables, accrued and other liabilities and borrowings on our revolving credit facility.* Fair value approximates carrying value.

*Mortgage Repurchase Facilities.* The debt associated with our Mortgage Repurchase Facilities (see Note 14, *Lines of Credit and Total Debt Obligations*, for further discussion) is at floating rates that approximate current market rates and have relatively short-term maturities, generally within 30 days. The fair value approximates carrying value and is based on Level 2 inputs.

*Senior Notes*. The estimated values of the senior notes in the following table are based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices for our senior notes which were provided by multiple sources.

*Notes Payable, net.* As a part of the execution of the Woodside Merger on December 1, 2025, the term debt agreement ("Woodside Note") was transferred to the Parent effective October 28, 2025, with no continuing obligations existing for Woodside or SHUS. The notes payable had an estimated fair value of $320.3 million as of December 31, 2024, based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices through multiple sources.

*Related Party Note.* As a part of the execution of the Woodside Merger on December 1, 2025, Woodside transferred the Related party note to the Parent effective October 28, 2025, with no continuing obligations existing for Woodside or SHUS. The debt associated with our related party note had an estimated fair value of $97.5 million as of December 31, 2024, based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices through multiple sources.

**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capitalization of Interest**

We capitalize interest to inventories during the period of development in accordance with ASC Topic 835, *Interest* ("ASC 835"). Homebuilding interest capitalized as a cost of inventories is included in cost of sales during the period that related units or lots are delivered. To the extent our homebuilding debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred. Qualified homebuilding assets consist of all lots and homes, excluding finished unsold homes or finished models, within projects that are actively selling or under development. The table set forth below summarizes homebuilding interest activity. For all periods presented below, our qualified assets exceeded our homebuilding debt and as such, all interest incurred has been capitalized.

In the ordinary course of business, we make payments from our insurance and construction defect claim reserves to settle litigation claims arising primarily from our homebuilding activities. These payments are irregular in both their timing and their magnitude. As a result, the cash payments, net of recoveries shown for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, are not necessarily indicative of what future cash payments will be for subsequent periods. The adjustment of $3.4 million to the insurance and defect claim reserve during the year ended December 31, 2025 was due to unfavorable emergence in insurance related claim activity during the current year. The adjustment of ($4.9 million) to the insurance and defect claim reserve during the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to favorable trends in insurance related claim activity during the prior year.

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes**

As a result of the Merger described in Footnote 22, and effective April 20, 2024, the Company is included in the Sekisui House US Holdings ("SHUSH") (parent of SHRH) consolidated tax group for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Although the Company's post Merger results are included in the SHUSH consolidated return, our income tax provision is calculated primarily as though we were a separate taxpayer for the full year. However, under certain circumstances, transactions between the Company and SHUSH are assessed using consolidated tax return rules and any difference in liability between the separate company method are addressed in a tax sharing arrangement.

The Company has adopted the provisions under ASC 2023-09 to enhance income tax disclosures prospectively beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Our income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2025 consisted of the following:

At December 31, 2025, we had no federal net operating loss or alternative minimum tax carryforwards. However, we had $4.6 million in tax-effected state net operating loss carryforwards. The state operating loss carryforwards, if unused, begin expiring in 2028.

At December 31, 2025, we had a valuation allowance of $4.0 million, no change from the prior year. The valuation allowance is related to various state net operating loss carryforwards where realization is uncertain at this time due to the limited carryforward periods coupled with minimal activity that exists in certain states.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we experienced a decrease of $0.1 million in the uncertain tax positions for tax reserves related to the Merger and state tax filings. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was $25.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized, would reduce our effective tax rate.

The interest and penalties, net of federal benefit for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $1.3 million, $(0.1) million and $(0.1) million, respectively, and are included in provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. We are subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for calendar tax years ending 2022 through 2025.

**14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lines of Credit and Total Debt Obligations**

*Revolving Credit Facility.* On November 19, 2024 the Company entered into an amended and restated unsecured revolving credit agreement ("Revolving Credit Facility") with a group of lenders, which may be used for general corporate purposes. On October 15, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement ("First Amendment") to its Revolving Credit Facility. The First Amendment increased the Aggregate Commitment to $1.40 billion (the "Commitment") and extended the Facility Termination Date of $1.36 billion of the facility commitments to October 15, 2029, with the remaining $40.0 million commitment continuing to terminate on November 17, 2028. The First Amendment also provides that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.90 billion (the "accordion" feature) upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $185.0 million sublimit for letters of credit.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR (in each case as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), plus an applicable margin between 1.125% and 1.625% per annum, or if selected by the Company, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 0.125% and 0.625% per annum. The "applicable margins" described above are determined by a schedule based on the leverage ratio of the Company, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for customary fees including commitment fees payable to each lender ranging from 0.15% to 0.30% per annum based on the Company's leverage ratio.

The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The term of the guarantees is through the termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. In the case of a default, the guarantors would be required to perform under the agreement. The financial covenants include a consolidated leverage test and interest coverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, breach of any financial covenant and change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, the Administrative Agent, with the consent or at the direction of the required lenders, may accelerate the payment of the obligations thereunder and exercise various other customary default remedies. We

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025.

We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were $35.5 million and $43.6 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. We had $0.0 million and $0.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $1.36 billion.

*Mortgage Repurchase Facilities.* HomeAmerican enters into Mortgage Repurchase Facilities with various lenders, which provide liquidity by providing for the sale of eligible mortgage loans with an agreement by HomeAmerican to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. HomeAmerican is party to mortgage repurchase facilities has entered into Mortgage Repurchase Facilities with two lenders, which provide HomeAmerican with committed repurchase facilities of up to an aggregate of $300.0 million as of December 31, 2025 (subject to increase by up to $150.0 million under certain conditions with respect to one of the lenders).

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, HomeAmerican had $106.3 million and $177.6 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican was obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facilities. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the mortgage repurchase facilities are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Pricing under the mortgage repurchase facilities are based on SOFR.

The Mortgage Repurchase Facilities contain various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, (i) a minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth requirement, (ii) a maximum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth ratio, (iii) a minimum adjusted net income requirement, and (iv) a minimum Liquidity requirement. The foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the mortgage repurchase facilities. We believe HomeAmerican was in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the mortgage repurchase facilities as of December 31, 2025.

Effective April 16, 2025, HomeAmerican entered into a Waiver and Consent agreement with one of the Mortgage Repurchase Facilities lenders, in which the lender waived any events of default under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility arising with respect to an event of default as HomeAmerican was not in compliance by permitting the Adjusted Tangible Net Worth to be less than $21.0 million for the month ending February 28, 2025.

*Woodside Revolving Line of Credit and reimbursement Agreement.* On April 13, 2018, Woodside entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement ("Woodside Line of Credit") with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., which was used for general corporate purposes. The Woodside Line of Credit was amended on June 30, 2023. The commitment within the agreement was up to $250.0 million (the "Commitment"). The Woodside Line of Credit matured on June 30, 2024, and was not renewed by Woodside.

Borrowings under the Woodside Line of Credit bore interest at a floating rate that was based on the lender's calculated bank rates plus a spread, or the Fed Funds rate plus a spread plus a 0.40% margin per annum. The Woodside Line of Credit also provided for customary fees including commitment fees payable of 0.15% per annum.

The Woodside Line of Credit was fully and unconditionally guaranteed by SHL. The facility contained various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe were customary for agreements of this type. The Woodside Line of Credit also contained customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements and breach of any financial covenant. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, the bank had the ability to accelerate the payment of the obligations thereunder and exercise various other customary default remedies.

*Senior Notes.* Our senior notes are not secured and, while the senior note indentures contain some restrictions on secured debt and other transactions, they do not contain financial covenants. Our senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries, with the termination date of the guarantees being upon the maturity of the senior notes. The guarantors would be required to perform upon instances of default.. We believe that we are in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants in the senior note indentures.

**16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commitments and Contingencies**

*Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit.* We are required to obtain surety bonds and letters of credit in support of our obligations for land development and subdivision improvements, homeowner association dues, warranty work, contractor license fees and earnest money deposits. At December 31, 2025, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $677.5 million and $169.1 million, respectively, including $133.6 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit were approximately $343.5 million and $136.2 million, respectively. All letters of credit as of December 31, 2025, excluding those issued by HomeAmerican, were either issued under our unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 14, *Lines of Credit and Total Debt Obligations*, for further discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility) or stand alone bi-lateral Letter of Credit Agreement. We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit.

We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.

*Litigation Reserves.* Because of the nature of the homebuilding business, we have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims and claims associated with the sale and financing of homes. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $37.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, of legal accruals recorded in accrued and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

On November 13, 2024, Building Trades Pension Fund of Western Pennsylvania, acting on behalf of itself and a putative class of similarly situated stockholders of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. ("MDC"), filed a class action complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Larry A. Mizel ("Mr. Mizel"), David D. Mandarich ("Mr. Mandarich"), and SHRH. The complaint alleges, among other things, that, in connection with the acquisition of MDC by SHRH and its affiliates, Mr. Mizel and Mr. Mandarich breached their fiduciary duty to MDC and that SHRH aided and abetted such breach. Pursuant to indemnification agreements, SHUS has an obligation to indemnify Mr. Mizel and Mr. Mandarich in this matter. SHUS, in connection with such indemnification obligations, plans to vigorously defend against these allegations by the putative class plaintiffs. On or about March 3, 2025, all claims against SHRH were dismissed without prejudice. On or about January 15, 2026, a term sheet was executed by all parties to settle the Building Trades Pension Fund of Western Pennsylvania class action complaint for $25.0 million, which is anticipated to be fully covered by the Company's third-party insurance providers.

*Lot Option Contracts*. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into lot option purchase contracts ("Option Contracts"), generally through a deposit of cash or a letter of credit, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. The use of such land option and other contracts generally allow us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, reduces our capital and financial commitments, and minimizes the amount of land inventories on our consolidated balance sheets. In certain cases, these contracts will be settled shortly following the end of the period. Our obligation with respect to Option Contracts is generally limited to forfeiture of the related deposits. At December 31, 2025, we had letters of credit and cash deposits totaling $15.5 million and $26.8 million, respectively, at risk associated with options to purchase 6,488 lots.

*Performance Share Unit Awards.* The Company has made annual grants of long term performance share unit awards ("PSUs") to each of the Executive Chairman, CEO and the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). The PSUs are earned based upon the Company's performance, over a period of three years (the "Performance Period"), measured by increasing home sale revenues over a "Base Period." Each award is conditioned upon the Company achieving an average gross margin from home sales (excluding impairments) of at least fifteen percent (15%) over the Performance Period. Target goals will be earned if the Company's three year average home sale revenues over the Performance Period ("Performance Revenues") exceed the home sale revenues over the Base Period ("Base Revenues") by at least 10% but less than 20%. If Performance Revenues exceed the Base Revenues by at least 5% but less than 10%, 50% of the Target Goals will be earned ("Threshold Goals"). If Performance Revenues exceed the Base Revenues by at least 20%, 200% of the Target Goals will be earned ("Maximum Goals"). The number of PSUs earned shall be adjusted to be proportional to the partial performance between the Threshold Goals, Target Goals and Maximum Goals.

In accordance with ASC 718, the PSUs were valued on the date of grant at their fair value. The fair value of these grants was equal to the closing price of MDC stock on the date of grant less the discounted cash flows of expected future dividends over the respective vesting period (as these PSUs do not participate in dividends). ASC 718 does not permit recognition of expense associated with performance-based stock awards until achievement of the performance targets are probable of occurring.

2021 *PSU Grants.* The 2021 PSU awards vested on February 2, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded the required share-based award expense related to the awards of $7.1 million based on its assessment of the probability for achievement of the performance targets.

2023 *PSU Grants.* For the year to date period through April 19, 2024, the Company concluded that achievement of any of the performance metrics had not yet met the level of probability required to record compensation expense and as such, no expense related to these awards was recognized. As a part of the Merger, all PSUs, whether vested or unvested, outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were fully vested, cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash. As such, no share-based compensation expense related to these awards was recognized.

Our employee equity incentive plans permit us to withhold from the total number of shares that otherwise would be released to a restricted stock or performance share unit award recipient upon distribution that number of shares having a fair value at the time of distribution equal to the applicable income tax withholdings due. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, 0, 408,477 and 293,366 shares were withheld, respectively, resulting in $0.0 million, $25.6 million and $11.8 million of income tax withholding, respectively, being remitted on behalf of the employees.

**20. Stockholders' Equity**

*Cash Dividends.* In each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we paid dividends of $0.55 per share (prior to the Merger) and $2.10 per share, respectively. In 2024 subsequent to the Merger, we paid dividends of $114.2 million. In 2025, we paid dividends of $195.2 million.

*Common Stock Repurchase Program.* Through April 19, 2024, we were authorized to repurchase up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under this repurchase program during the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023. The repurchase program ended upon the Merger.

At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock") outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock that are (A)(1) held by the Company as treasury stock; (2) held directly by Parent or Merger Sub; or (3) held by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the "Owned Company Shares"), (B) held by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, (C) held by a holder who is entitled to demand, and has properly and validly demanded, appraisal for such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL ("Dissenting Shares"), or (D) subject to vesting restrictions and/or forfeiture back to the Company ("Company RSAs")) was automatically converted into the right to receive $63.00 per share, in cash, without interest thereon (the "Merger Consideration");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each Owned Company Share was automatically cancelled and ceased to exist, and no consideration or payment will be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) each share of Company Common Stock held by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company was be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation with an aggregate value immediately after the consummation of the Merger equal to the Merger Consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Merger Agreement also provides that, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under any Company Equity Plan (each, a "Company Option") that was outstanding and unexercised, whether vested or unvested, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was fully vested, cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product of (A) the excess (if any) of (1) the Merger Consideration over (2) the exercise price per share of such Company Option, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, subject to any required withholding of Taxes; provided, however, that any Company Option with respect to which the applicable per share exercise price is greater than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled without consideration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each Company RSA, whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was fully vested, cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSA, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, subject to any required withholding of Taxes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) each performance stock unit award relating to shares of Company Common Stock granted under any Company Equity Plan (each, a "Company PSU"), whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was fully vested, cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU based on maximum performance, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, subject to any required withholding of Taxes.

The Merger Agreement further provides that, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub shall be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of Surviving Corporation Stock. This resulted in 100 shares of common stock at a $0.01 par value per share issued and outstanding.

The aggregate consideration of the Merger was approximately $4.9 billion, of which the Company funded $664.6 million. Included within these amounts is $53.2 million of compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, related to the vesting of equity awards as of the closing of the Merger, which are included within the Selling, general and administrative expenses line item within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

On April 19, 2024, the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") filed with the SEC a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 to effect the delisting of all shares of the Company's Common Stock from the NYSE, as well as the deregistration of the Company's Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Parent has accounted for the Merger under the acquisition method of accounting with the Company deemed to be the acquiree for accounting purposes. The Company and Parent have elected not to push down purchase accounting adjustments to reflect the assets and liabilities acquired at fair value, and therefore amounts reflected in the financial statements hereto have not been adjusted.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, with the issuance of final regulations in 2025 the $4.8 million of excise tax included within prior year transaction cost was no longer applicable and accordingly was reversed in 2025. Both of these amounts were recorded within the Transaction costs line item within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income There were no transaction related costs during the year end December 31, 2023. Further, the Company incurred $19.4 million of expense during the year ended December 31, 2024, related to key executives' transaction bonuses in connection with the Merger, which are included within the Selling, general and administrative expenses line item within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

**24.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsequent Events**

On or about January 15, 2026, a term sheet was executed by all parties to settle the Building Trades Pension Fund of Western Pennsylvania class action complaint for $25.0 million, which is anticipated to be fully covered by the Company's third-party insurance providers.

On January 1, 2026, Parent contributed (for no consideration) to the Company all of Parent's interests in its wholly owned subsidiaries Chesmar and Holt. Chesmar and Holt are homebuilding companies with operations in Texas, Oregon, and Washington.

Immediately prior to the contribution, the sole stockholder of the Company was also the sole stockholder of Chesmar and Holt. As a result of the common ownership upon closing of the transaction, the acquisition was considered a common-control transaction and was outside the scope of the business combination guidance in ASC 805-50. The entities are deemed to be under common control as of April 19, 2024, which was the date that the sole stockholder acquired control of the Company and, therefore, held control over both companies.

The following table summarizes the historical balances of the assets acquired and liabilities that are to be assumed in January 2026, as of April 19, 2024:

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Sekisui House U.S., Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying combined consolidated balance sheets of Sekisui House U.S., Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "combined consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the combined consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

**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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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 and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

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 Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate 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 combined consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Evaluation of Insurance Reserves* |
| *Description of the Matter* | At December 31, 2025, insurance reserves totaled $100.8 million for the estimated incurred cost of construction defect claims. As more fully described in Note 1 to the combined consolidated financial statements, the Company establishes the reserves for estimated losses based on actuarial studies that include known facts and interpretations of circumstances. |
|  | Auditing the Company's estimate of the reserves was especially challenging because the estimate is based on actuarial projections of future claims derived from historical claims data. There is significant uncertainty in the actuarial projections as the potential claim payments will be made over a long period of time, they assume that historical claims are a reasonable proxy of future claims, and the claim amounts can be significantly impacted by changes in product mix, quality of construction, units sold, and geographic location of sold units. |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | We obtained an understanding of the Company's process to estimate the reserves. For example, we obtained an understanding over management's review of the actuary's analysis, including management's procedures over the underlying data used by the actuary and the consideration by management over whether historical claim information requires adjustment.  |

|:---|:---|
| | To test the estimate of reserves, our audit procedures included, among others, utilizing an internal actuarial specialist to evaluate the actuarial study utilized by management and to perform independent calculations to determine a range of reasonable reserves and to compare this range to the recorded insurance reserves. Additionally, we tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying claims data provided to management's actuarial specialist, evaluated the change in the reserves from the prior year based upon current year trends in claim data, and performed hindsight reviews of past estimates compared to actual claim payments. |
|  | *Evaluation of Inventories for Impairment* |
| *Description of the Matter* | As of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported inventories of approximately $7.2 billion and impairment charges of $77.7 million. The Company's inventories are primarily associated with subdivisions where it intends to construct and sell homes, including models and unsold homes. As more fully described in Note 1 to the combined consolidated financial statements, management evaluates inventories for impairment at each quarter end on a subdivision level basis. |
|  | Auditing the Company's evaluation of inventories for impairment involved subjective auditor judgment to evaluate management's home sales revenue assumption in its future undiscounted and discounted cash flows. The estimated future home sales revenue assumption is highly judgmental as it is a forward-looking assumption that can be significantly affected by sub-market information including competition, customer demand for size and style of homes, and pricing trends in home sale orders. Differences or changes in this significant assumption could have a material impact on the Company's analysis. |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | We obtained an understanding over the Company's inventory impairment process. For example, we obtained an understanding over management's review of the significant assumptions and data inputs utilized in its test for recoverability and, when applicable, its measurement of impairment losses.  |
|  | Our testing of the Company's impairment analysis included, among other procedures, evaluating the significant assumptions and operating data used to estimate the future undiscounted cash flows. To test the home sales revenue assumption included in the estimated future undiscounted cash flows we compared the home sales revenue assumption to historical subdivision operating trends, performed sensitivity analyses over the home sales revenue assumption and evaluated sub-market industry data.  |

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Principles of Consolidation*. The Combined Consolidated Financial Statements of Sekisui House U.S., Inc. (formerly known as M.D.C. Holdings, Inc.) ("SHUS," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our," which refer to Sekisui House U.S., Inc. and its subsidiaries), Chesmar Homes, LLC ("Chesmar") and Holt Group Holdings, LLC ("Holt") (collectively referred to as "the Group") for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X. The SEC granted the Company's request to substitute combined consolidated financial statements of the Company, Chesmar and Holt for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (which includes Chesmar and Holt beginning on April 19, 2024, the date the Company was acquired by the parent) in lieu of the financial statements of Chesmar and Holt and the pro forma combined financial information required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X for the acquisition of Chesmar and Holt. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

*Merger.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*On April 19, 2024, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 17, 2024 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, SH Residential Holdings, LLC ("Parent" or "SHRH"), Clear Line, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and, solely for the purposes of Section 6.2, Section 6.17 and Section 9.15 of the Merger Agreement, Sekisui House, Ltd. ("Guarantor" or "SHL"), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). See further information in Note 20, *Merger.*

*Woodside Merger.* On December 1, 2025, Parent contributed (for no consideration) to the Company all of Parent's interests in its wholly owned subsidiary Woodside. Woodside is a homebuilding company with operations in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada and Utah.

*Chesmar and Holt Merger.* On January 1, 2026, Parent contributed (for no consideration) to the Company all of Parent's interests in its wholly owned subsidiaries Chesmar and Holt. Chesmar and Holt are homebuilding companies with operations in Texas, Oregon, and Washington. The Woodside Merger and Chesmar and Holt Merger are collectively referred to as the Common Control Mergers.

Immediately prior to the contributions, the sole stockholder of the Company was also the sole stockholder of Woodside, Chesmar and Holt. As a result of the common ownership, upon closing of the transactions, the acquisitions were considered common-control transactions and were outside the scope of the business combination guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, *Business Combinations ("*ASC 805-50"). The entities are deemed to be under common control as of April 19, 2024, which was the date that the sole stockholder acquired control of the Company and, therefore, held control over each of the companies. The consolidated financial statements incorporate Woodside, Chesmar and Holt financial results and financial information beginning on April 19, 2024. See further information in Note 21, *Common Control Mergers*.

*Description of Business*. We have homebuilding operations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington. The primary functions of our homebuilding operations include land acquisition and development, home construction, purchasing, marketing, merchandising, sales and customer service. We build and sell primarily single-family detached homes, which are designed and built to meet local customer preferences. We are the general contractor for all of our projects and retain subcontractors for site development and home construction.

Our financial services operations consist of HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation ("HomeAmerican") and CLM Mortgage, Inc. ("CLM"), which originate mortgage loans, primarily for our homebuyers, American Home Insurance Agency, Inc. ("American Home Insurance") and Entitled Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Entitled Insurance"), which offer third-party insurance products to our homebuyers, American Home Title and Escrow Company ("American Home Title") and N Title, LLC ("N Title"), which provide title agency services to the Company and our homebuyers in Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, Texas and Virginia. The financial services operations also include StarAmerican Insurance Ltd. ("StarAmerican"), which provides insurance coverage to the majority of our homebuilding subsidiaries, which includes certain assumed liabilities of subcontractors under the Company's owner-controlled insurance program ("wrap program").

*Presentation*. Our balance sheet presentation is unclassified due to the fact that certain assets and liabilities have both short and long-term characteristics.

*Use of Accounting Estimates*. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

*Cash and Cash Equivalents*. The Group periodically invests funds in highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, such as U.S. government securities, commercial bank deposits, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, money market funds and time deposits, which are included in cash and cash equivalents in the combined consolidated balance sheets and combined consolidated statements of cash flows.

*Marketable securities.* Our debt securities consist of U.S. government treasury securities with original maturities upon acquisition of less than six months and are treated as available-for-sale investments and, as such, are recorded at fair value with all changes in fair value initially recorded through other comprehensive income. Debt securities are reviewed on a regular basis for impairment. We had no marketable securities at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

*Restricted Cash*. We receive cash earnest money deposits from our customers who enter into home sale contracts. In certain states we are restricted from using such deposits for general purposes, unless we take measures to release state imposed restrictions on such deposits received from homebuyers, which may include posting blanket surety bonds. We had $0.0 million and $1.2 million in restricted cash related to homebuyer deposits at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Trade and Other Receivables*. Trade and other receivables primarily includes home sale receivables, which reflects cash to be received from title companies or outside brokers associated with closed homes. Generally, we will receive cash from title companies and outside brokers within a few days of the home being closed. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, receivables from contracts with customers were $5.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively, and are included in trade and other receivables on the accompanying combined consolidated balance sheets.

*Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale, net*. Mortgage loans held-for-sale are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices and estimated market prices received from a third-party. Using fair value allows an offset of the changes in fair values of the mortgage loans and the derivative and financial instruments used to hedge them without having to comply with the requirements for hedge accounting.

*Inventories*. Our inventories are primarily associated with communities where we intend to construct and sell homes, including models and unsold homes. Inventories includes the costs of direct land acquisition, land development and construction, capitalized interest, real estate taxes and indirect construction costs, which include field construction management salaries and benefits, utilities and other construction related costs.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360, *Property, Plant, and Equipment* ("ASC 360"), homebuilding inventories, excluding those classified as held for sale, are carried at cost unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the underlying subdivision may not be recoverable. We evaluate inventories for impairment at each quarter end on a subdivision level basis as each such subdivision represents the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. In making this determination, we review, among other things, the following for each subdivision:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual and trending "Operating Margin" (which is defined as home sale revenues less home cost of sales and all incremental costs associated directly with the subdivision, including sales commissions and marketing costs);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• forecasted Operating Margin for homes in backlog;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual and trending net home orders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• homes available for sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market information for each sub-market, including competition levels, home foreclosure levels, the size and style of homes currently being offered for sale and lot size; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• known or probable events indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our inventory may not be recoverable, assets are reviewed for impairment by comparing the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from an individual subdivision (including capitalized interest) to its carrying value. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the subdivision's carrying value,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

the carrying value of the subdivision is written down to its then estimated fair value. We generally determine the estimated fair value of each subdivision by calculating the present value of the estimated future cash flows using discount rates, which are Level 3 inputs (see Note 5, *Fair Value Measurements,* in the notes to the financial statements for definitions of fair value inputs), that are commensurate with the risk of the subdivision under evaluation. The evaluation for the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets for each individual subdivision can be impacted significantly by our estimates of future home sale revenues, home construction costs, and development costs per home, all of which are Level 3 inputs.

If land is classified as held for sale, in accordance with ASC 360, we measure it at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, we primarily rely upon the most recent negotiated price which is a Level 3 input (see Note 5, *Fair Value Measurements*, for definitions of fair value inputs). If a negotiated price is not available, we will consider several factors including, but not limited to, current market conditions, recent comparable sales transactions and market analysis studies. If the fair value less estimated costs to sell is lower than the current carrying value, the land is impaired down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

*Costs Related to Sales Facilities.* Costs related to interior and exterior upgrades to the home that will be sold as part of the home, such as wall treatments and additional upgraded landscaping, are recorded as inventories. Costs to furnish and ready the model home or on-site sales facility that will not be sold as part of the model home, such as furniture, construction of the sales facility parking lot or construction of the sales center, are capitalized as property and equipment, net. Other costs incurred related to the marketing of the community and readying the model home for sale are expensed as incurred.

*Property and Equipment, net*. Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. For property and equipment related to on-site sales facilities, depreciation is recorded using the units of production method as homes are delivered. For all other property and equipment, depreciation is recorded using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 2 to 16 years. Depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment was $38.3 million and $38.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the homebuilding or expenses in the financial services sections of our combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The following table sets forth the cost and carrying value of our homebuilding property and equipment by major asset category.

*Deferred Tax Assets, net*. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between (1) the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and (2) the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using current enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded against a deferred tax asset if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

*Variable Interest Entities*. In accordance with ASC Topic 810, *Consolidation* ("ASC 810"), we analyze our land option contracts and other contractual arrangements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are variable interest entities ("VIEs") and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, ASC 810 requires a company to consolidate a VIE if the company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider, among other things, whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact VIE's economic performance, including, but not limited to, determining or limiting the scope or purpose of the VIE, selling or transferring property owned or controlled by the VIE, or arranging financing for the VIE. We also consider whether we have the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. We have concluded that, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing land under land option contracts.

*Investments in Unconsolidated Entities.* The equity method of accounting is used for investments in unconsolidated entities over which the Group has significant influence. The Group recognizes its proportionate share of earnings and losses of the unconsolidated entities under the equity method of accounting, which is recorded in interest and other income in the homebuilding section of our combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Investments in unconsolidated entities that do not meet the requirements for equity method accounting are accounted for at cost. All investments in unconsolidated entities are included in investment in unconsolidated entities on the accompanying combined consolidated balance sheets.

The timing of cash flows related to the unconsolidated entities and any related financing agreements varies by entity. If additional capital contributions are required and approved by the unconsolidated entity, the Group would need to contribute its pro rata portion of those capital needs in order to not dilute the Group's ownership in the unconsolidated entity. While future capital contributions may be required, the Group believes the total amount of such contributions will be limited. The Group's maximum financial exposure related to the unconsolidated entities won't exceed the combined investment and limited recourse guaranty totals.

Investment in unconsolidated entities accounted for under the cost method totaled $4.2 million and $4.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Group has eight investments in unconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method, totaling $19.4 million and $56.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Group's ownership interest within these entities ranged from 18% to 50%.

Investments in unconsolidated entities are tested for recoverability in accordance with ASC Topic 323, *Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures* ("ASC 323"). If the loss in the value of an investment is other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all investments in unconsolidated entities were deemed recoverable.

The Group performs ongoing VIE reassessments under ASC 810 to determine whether the Group is the primary beneficiary of any of its investments in unconsolidated entities. The Group has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of its investments. Therefore, no unconsolidated entities were required to be consolidated as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

*Goodwill.* In accordance with ASC Topic 350, *Intangibles–Goodwill and Other ("ASC* 350"*)*, we evaluate goodwill for possible impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We use a three-step process to assess the realizability of goodwill. The first step is a qualitative assessment that analyzes current economic indicators associated with a particular reporting unit. For example, we analyze changes in economic, market and industry conditions, business strategy, cost factors, and financial performance, among others, to determine if there are indicators of a significant decline in the fair value of a particular reporting unit. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount then no further testing is required.

If a qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we will proceed to the second step where we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on discounted future probability-weighted cash flows. If this step indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, we will proceed to the third step where the fair value of the reporting unit will be allocated to assets and liabilities as they would in a business combination. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value calculated in the third step.

Based on our analysis, we have concluded that as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our goodwill was not impaired.

*Liability for Unrecognized Tax Benefits.* ASC Topic 740, *Income Taxes*, provides guidance for the recognition and measurement in financial statements of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process, the first step being recognition. We determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. The technical merits of a tax position derive from both statutory and judicial authority (legislation and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings, and case law) and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the tax position. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements.

The second step is measurement. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate resolution with a taxing authority. Once the gross unrecognized tax benefit is determined, we also accrue for any interest and penalties, as well as any offsets expected from resultant amendments to federal or state tax returns. We record the aggregate effect of these items in income tax expense in the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. To the extent this tax position would be offset against a similar deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed, the liability is treated as a reduction to the related deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. Otherwise, we record the corresponding liability in accrued and other liabilities in our combined consolidated balance sheets.

*Warranty Accrual*. Our homes are sold with limited third-party warranties and, under our agreement with the issuer of the third-party warranties, we are responsible for performing all of the work for the first two years of the warranty coverage, and paying for certain work required to be performed subsequent to year two. We record accruals for general and structural warranty claims, as well as accruals for known, unusual warranty-related expenditures. Our warranty accrual is recorded based upon historical payment experience in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. The determination of the warranty accrual rate for closed homes and the evaluation of our warranty accrual balance at period end are based on an internally developed analysis that includes known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including, among other things, our trends in historical warranty payment levels and warranty payments for claims not considered to be normal and recurring.

Warranty payments are recorded against the warranty accrual. Additional reserves may be established for known, unusual warranty-related expenditures not covered through the independent warranty accrual analysis performed by us. Warranty payments incurred for an individual house may differ from the related reserve established for the home at the time it was closed. The actual disbursements for warranty claims are evaluated in the aggregate to determine if an adjustment to the historical warranty accrual should be recorded.

We assess the reasonableness and adequacy of the reserve and the per-unit reserve amount originally included in home cost of sales, as well as the timing of the reversal of any excess reserve on a quarterly basis, using historical payment data and other relevant information. Our warranty accrual is included in accrued and other liabilities in the homebuilding section of our combined consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to our warranty accrual are recorded as an increase or reduction to home cost of sales in the homebuilding section of our combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. See Note 10, *Warranty Accrual* to the combined consolidated financial statements.

*Insurance Reserves.* The establishment of reserves for estimated losses associated with insurance policies issued by StarAmerican are based on actuarial studies that include known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including our experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim payment patterns, pending levels of unpaid claims, product mix or concentration, claim severity, frequency patterns depending on the business conducted, and changing regulatory and legal environments. It is possible that changes in the insurance payment experience used in estimating our ultimate insurance losses could have a material impact on our insurance reserves. See Note 11, *Insurance and Construction Defect Claim Reserves*, to the combined consolidated financial statements.

*Self-Insurance Reserves for Construction Defect Claims.* The establishment of reserves for estimated losses to be incurred by our homebuilding subsidiaries associated with (1) the self-insured retention ("SIR") portion of construction defect claims that are expected to be covered under either third-party insurance policies or insurance policies with StarAmerican and (2) the entire cost of any construction defect claims that are not expected to be covered by insurance policies are based on actuarial studies that include known facts similar to those established for our insurance reserves. It is possible that changes in the payment experience used in estimating our ultimate losses for construction defect claims could have a material impact on

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

our reserves. See Note 11, *Insurance and Construction Defect Claim Reserves*, to the combined consolidated financial statements.

*Litigation Reserves.* We and certain of our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various cases. We reserve for estimated exposure with respect to these cases based upon currently available information on each case. See Note 15, *Commitments and Contingencies*, to the combined consolidated financial statements.

*Derivative and Financial Instruments*. We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on mortgage loans held-for-sale, mortgage interest rate lock commitments, marketable securities and debt. Financial instruments utilized in the normal course of business by HomeAmerican and CLM include forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period, and best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded and closed. These instruments are the only significant derivative and financial instruments utilized by SHUS to hedge against fluctuations in interest rates. For forward sales commitments, forward sales of mortgage-backed securities and commitments to originate mortgage loans that are still outstanding at the end of a reporting period, we record the changes in fair value of these financial instruments in revenues in the financial services section of the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income with an offset to either other assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the financial services section of our combined consolidated balance sheets, depending on the nature of the change. For further discussion of our policies regarding interest rate lock commitments, see our "Revenue Recognition for HomeAmerican and CLM" accounting policy section below. There are no credit risk related contingent features within our derivative agreements and counterparty risk is considered minimal.

*Revenue Recognition for Homebuilding Segments.* We recognize home sale revenues from home deliveries when we have satisfied the performance obligations within the sales agreement, which is generally when title to and possession of the home are transferred to the buyer at the home closing date. Revenue from a home delivery includes the base sales price and any purchased options and upgrades and is reduced for any sales price incentives.

In certain states where we build, we are not always able to complete certain outdoor features (such as landscaping or pools) prior to closing the home. To the extent these separate deliverables are not complete upon the closing of a home, we defer home sale revenues related to incomplete outdoor features, and recognize that revenue upon completion of the outdoor features.

Revenue expected to be recognized in any future year related to remaining performance obligations (if any) and contract liabilities expected to be recognized as revenue, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, is not material.

*Land and lot revenue for Homebuilding Segments:* Revenue and cost of sales from land sales are recognized when title to the property has been transferred to the buyer, adequate consideration has been received, and the Group has no significant future performance obligations. Effective December 1, 2025, after the Woodside Merger, the Company aligned its accounting policy with Woodside, considering land sale revenues as an output of the entity's ordinary activities prospectively under ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers.* Previous to December 1, 2025, land sale revenues and land cost of sales are included in other income (expense) within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Total land sale revenues of $2.6 million and land cost of sales of $3.0 million were recognized in other income (expense) during the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no land sales in the year ended December 31, 2024.

*Other revenue for Homebuilding Segments:* Other revenue primarily consists of project management fees earned by the Group for construction management services provided to customers and profit participation agreements contained in some land and lot sale contracts. Revenue from project management arrangements is recognized on either a completion of milestones basis or as costs are incurred by the Group.

*Revenue Recognition for HomeAmerican and CLM*. Revenues recorded by HomeAmerican and CLM primarily reflect (1) origination fees and (2) the corresponding sale, or expected future sale, of a loan, which will include the estimated earnings from either the release or retention of a loan's servicing rights. Origination fees are recognized when a loan is originated. When an interest rate lock commitment is made to a customer, we record the expected gain on sale of the mortgage, plus the estimated earnings from the expected sale of the associated servicing rights, adjusted for a pull-through percentage (which is defined as the likelihood that an interest rate lock commitment will be originated), as revenue. As the interest rate lock commitment gets closer to being originated, the expected gain on the sale of that loan plus its servicing rights is updated to reflect current market value and the increase or decrease in the fair value of that interest rate lock commitment is recorded through revenues. At the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

same time, the expected pull-through percentage of the interest rate lock commitment to be originated is updated based upon current market conditions and, if there has been a change, revenues are adjusted as necessary. After origination, our mortgage loans, generally including their servicing rights, are sold to third-party purchasers in accordance with sale agreements entered into by us with a third-party purchaser of the loans. We make representations and warranties with respect to the status of loans transferred in the sale agreements. The sale agreements generally include statements acknowledging the transfer of the loans is intended by both parties to constitute a sale. Sale of a mortgage loan has occurred when the following criteria, among others, have been met: (1) fair consideration has been paid for transfer of the loan by a third party in an arms-length transaction, (2) all the usual risks and rewards of ownership that are in substance a sale have been transferred by us to the third party purchaser; and (3) we do not have a substantial continuing involvement with the mortgage loan.

We measure mortgage loans held-for-sale at fair value with the changes in fair value being reported in earnings at each reporting date. Net gains on the sale of mortgage loans are included as a component of revenues in the financial services section of the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

*Home Cost of Sales*. Home cost of sales includes the specific construction costs of each home and all applicable land acquisition, land development and related costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred), warranty costs and finance and closing costs. We use the specific identification method for the purpose of accumulating home construction costs and allocate costs to each lot within a subdivision associated with land acquisition and land development based upon relative fair value of the lots prior to home construction. Lots within a subdivision typically have comparable fair values, and, as such, we generally allocate costs equally to each lot within a subdivision. We record all home cost of sales when a home is closed and performance obligations have been completed on a house-by-house basis.

When a home is closed, we may not have paid for all costs necessary to complete the construction of the home. This includes (1) construction that has been completed on a house but has not yet been billed or (2) work still to be performed on a home (such as limited punch-list items or certain outdoor features). For each of these items, we create an estimate of the total expected costs to be incurred and, with the exclusion of outdoor features, the estimated total costs for those items, less any amounts paid to date, are included in home cost of sales. Actual results could differ from such estimates. For incomplete outdoor features, we will defer the revenue and any cost of sales on this separate stand-alone deliverable until complete.

*Stock-Based Compensation.* ASC Topic 718, *Compensation—Stock Compensation* ("ASC 718") requires that share-based compensation expense be measured and recognized at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted under compensation arrangements. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock option awards requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, annual forfeiture rates and the expected life of an award. For stock option awards granted with just service and/or performance conditions, we estimate the fair value using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. For any stock option awards granted that contain a market condition, we estimate the fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Both the Black-Scholes option pricing model and Monte Carlo simulation utilize the following inputs to calculate the estimated fair value of stock options: (1) closing price of our common stock on the measurement date (generally the date of grant); (2) exercise price; (3) expected stock option life; (4) expected volatility; (5) risk-free interest rate; and (6) expected dividend yield rate. The expected life of employee stock options represents the period for which the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is derived primarily from historical exercise patterns. The expected volatility is determined based on our review of the implied volatility that is derived from the price of exchange traded options of the Company. The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of our employee stock options. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on our historical dividend payouts. We determine the estimated fair value of the stock option awards on the date they are granted. The fair values recorded for previously granted stock option awards are not adjusted as subsequent changes in the foregoing assumptions occur; for example, an increase or decrease in the price of our common stock. However, changes in the foregoing inputs, particularly the price of our common stock, expected stock option life and expected volatility, significantly change the estimated fair value of future grants of stock options.

An annual forfeiture rate is estimated at the time of grant, and revised if necessary, in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs from our estimate.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recently Issued Accounting Standards**

**Adoption of New Accounting Standards**

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (2) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) (disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes) as well as individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid net of refunds, (3) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (disaggregated between domestic and foreign) and (4) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (disaggregated by federal, state and foreign). The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, while retrospective application is permitted. We adopted this amendment in the fourth quarter of 2025. As a result of the adoption, there was no material impact on our combined consolidated balance sheet or combined consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Footnote 12, *Income Taxes* was updated to comply with the new required disclosures.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted** 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" ("ASU 2024-03"). The amendments in this update enhance disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions in the combined consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our combined consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets" ("ASU-2025-05"), which allows entities to use the practical expedient to estimate expected credit losses. ASU 2025-05 will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and interim reporting periods within this annual reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-05 may have on our combined consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment Reporting**

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), or decision-making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. We have identified our CODM as one key executive—the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The CODM's evaluation of segment performance is based on segment pretax income for all reportable segments. Pretax income is used at the segment level for forecasting and actual results to evaluate performance of each segment and further assist in decision making regarding allocation of capital and other resources between segments.

We have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment. Our homebuilding operating segments have been aggregated into the reportable segments noted below because they are similar in the following regards: (1) economic characteristics; (2) housing products; (3) class of homebuyer; (4) regulatory environments; and (5) methods used to construct and sell homes. Our homebuilding reportable segments conducted ongoing operations in the following states:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• West (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mountain (Colorado, Idaho and Utah)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• East (Florida, Maryland, Tennessee and Virginia)

Our financial services business consists of the following operating segments: (1) HomeAmerican; (2) CLM;(3) StarAmerican; (4) American Home Insurance; (5) Entitled Insurance; (6) American Home Title and (7) N Title. Due to its contributions to consolidated pretax income we consider HomeAmerican and CLM to be a reportable segment ("Mortgage Operations"). The remaining operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment ("other") because they do not individually exceed 10 percent of (1) consolidated revenue; (2) the greater of (a) combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or (b) the positive value of the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported losses; or (3) consolidated assets.

Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating divisions by centralizing key administrative functions such as finance, treasury, information technology, insurance, risk management, litigation and human resources. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to the homebuilding operating segments based on their respective percentages of assets, and to a lesser degree, a portion of Corporate expenses are allocated to the financial services segments. A majority of Corporate's personnel and resources are primarily dedicated to activities relating to the homebuilding segments, and, therefore, the balance of any unallocated Corporate expenses is included in the homebuilding operations section of our combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The following tables present operating results relating to our homebuilding and financial services operations:

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value Measurements**

ASC Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurements* ("ASC 820"), defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table sets forth the fair values and methods used for measuring the fair values of financial instruments on a recurring basis, except those for which the carrying values approximate fair values:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | | Fair Value | Fair Value |
| Financial Instrument | Hierarchy | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|  |  | (Dollars in thousands) | (Dollars in thousands) |
| Mortgage loans held-for-sale, net | Level 2 | $216107 | $319219 |
| Derivative and financial instruments, net |  |  |  |
| Interest rate lock commitments | Level 2 | $(5931) | $(426) |
| Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities | Level 2 | $(3615) | $4510 |
| Mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments | Level 2 | $(451) | $164 |
| Best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments | Level 2 | $(6) | $3 |

---

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

*Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale, Net.* Our mortgage loans held-for-sale, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include (1) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are under commitments to sell and (2) mortgage loans held-for-sale that were not under commitments to sell. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $115.4 million and $167.6 million, respectively, in fair value of mortgage loans held-for-sale that were under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was based on quoted market prices for those mortgage loans, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $100.7 million and $151.6 million, respectively, in fair value of mortgage loans held-for-sale that were not under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was primarily based upon the estimated market price received from a third-party, which is a Level 2 fair value input. The unpaid principal balances of all mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $220.8 million and $334.7 million, respectively.

Gains (losses) on sales of mortgage loans, net, are included as a component of revenues in the financial services section of our combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded loss on mortgage loans held-for-sale, net of $111.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

*Derivative and financial instruments, net.* Our derivatives and financial instruments, which include (1) interest rate lock commitments, (2) forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, (3) mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments and (4) best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on market prices for similar instruments. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded net gains (losses) on these derivative and financial instruments of $(8.3) million and $7.6 million, respectively, in revenues in the financial services section of our combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The following table sets forth the notional amounts of derivative and financial instruments at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | Notional Values | Notional Values |
| Financial Instrument | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|  | (Dollars in thousands) | (Dollars in thousands) |
| Interest rate lock commitments | $144307 | $117090 |
| Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities | $217500 | $243000 |
| Mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments | $108673 | $174066 |
| Best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments | $9955 | $1306 |

---

For the financial assets and liabilities that the Group does not reflect at fair value, the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

*Cash and cash equivalents (excluding debt securities with an original maturity of* three *months or less), restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts receivable due from parent, prepaids and other assets, accounts payable, related party payables, accrued and other liabilities and borrowings on our revolving credit facility.* Fair value approximates carrying value.

*Mortgage Repurchase Facilities.* The debt associated with our Mortgage Repurchase Facilities (see Note 13, *Lines of Credit and Total Debt Obligations*, for further discussion) are at floating rates that approximate current market rates and have relatively short-term maturities, generally within 30 days. The fair value approximates carrying value and is based on Level 2 inputs.

*Notes Payable.* As a part of the execution of the Woodside Merger on December 1, 2025, Woodside transferred the Notes payable to the Parent effective October 28, 2025, with no continuing obligations existing for SHUS. The debt associated with our notes payable had an estimated fair value of $320.3 million as of December 31, 2024, based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices through multiple sources.

The debt associated with our Chesmar notes payable was paid in full on July 29, 2025. The Chesmar note had an estimated fair value of $99.3 million as of December 31, 2024, based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices through multiple sources.

The Holt note was transferred to the Parent effective October 28, 2025, with no continuing obligations existing for either Holt or SHUS. The Holt note had an estimated fair value of $94.8 million as of December 31, 2024, based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices through multiple sources.

*Related Party Note.* As a part of the execution of the Woodside Merger on December 1, 2025, Woodside transferred the Related party note to the Parent effective October 28, 2025, with no continuing obligations existing for SHUS. The debt associated with our related party note had an estimated fair value of $97.5 million as of December 31, 2024, based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices through multiple sources.

**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capitalization of Interest**

We capitalize interest to inventories during the period of development in accordance with ASC Topic 835, *Interest* ("ASC 835"). Homebuilding interest capitalized as a cost of inventories is included in cost of sales during the period that related units or lots are delivered. To the extent our homebuilding debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred. Qualified homebuilding assets consist of all lots and homes, excluding finished unsold homes or finished models, within projects that are actively selling or under development. The table set forth below summarizes homebuilding interest activity. For all periods presented below, our qualified assets exceeded our homebuilding debt and as such, all interest incurred has been capitalized.

The table set forth below summarizes accrual, adjustment and payment activity related to our warranty accrual for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The warranty accrual increased due to $6.3 million of warranty adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2024. This adjustment was due to higher general warranty related expenditures. From time to time, we change our warranty accrual rates based on payment trends.

In the ordinary course of business, we make payments from our insurance and construction defect claim reserves to settle litigation claims arising primarily from our homebuilding activities. These payments are irregular in both their timing and their magnitude. As a result, the cash payments, net of recoveries shown for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of what future cash payments will be for subsequent periods. The adjustment of $3.4 million to the insurance and defect claim reserve during the year ended December 31, 2025 was due to unfavorable emergence in insurance related claim activity during the current year. The adjustment of ($4.9 million) to the insurance and defect claim reserve during the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to favorable trends in insurance related claim activity during the prior year.

**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes**

As a result of the Merger described in Footnote 20, *Merger,* and effective April 20, 2024, the Group is included in the Sekisui House US Holdings ("SHUSH") (parent of SHRH) consolidated tax group for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Although the Group's post Merger results are included in the SHUSH consolidated return, our income tax provision is calculated primarily as though the Group was a separate taxpayer for the full year. However, under certain circumstances, transactions between the Group and SHUSH are assessed using consolidated tax return rules and any difference in liability between the separate company method are addressed in a tax sharing arrangement.

The Group has adopted the provisions under ASC 2023-09 to enhance income tax disclosures prospectively beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025.

At December 31, 2025, we had no federal net operating loss or alternative minimum tax carryforwards. However, we had $4.6 million in tax-effected state net operating loss carryforwards. The state operating loss carryforwards, if unused, begin expiring in 2028.

At December 31, 2025, we had a valuation allowance of $4.0 million, no change from the prior year. The valuation allowance is related to various state net operating loss carryforwards where realization is uncertain at this time due to the limited carryforward periods coupled with minimal activity that exists in certain states.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we experienced a decrease of $0.1 million in the uncertain tax positions for tax reserves related to the Merger and state tax filings. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was $25.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized, would reduce our effective tax rate.

The interest and penalties, net of federal benefit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1.3 million and $(0.1) million, respectively, and are included in provision for income taxes in the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

The Group and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. We are subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for calendar tax years ending 2022 through 2025. Additionally, we are subject to various state income tax examinations for the 2021 through 2025 calendar tax years.

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lines of Credit and Total Debt Obligations**

*Revolving Credit Facility.* On November 19, 2024 the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement ("Revolving Credit Facility") with a group of lenders, which may be used for general corporate purposes. On October 15, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement ("First Amendment") to its Revolving Credit Facility. The First Amendment increased the Aggregate Commitment to $1.40 billion (the "Commitment") and extended the Facility Termination Date of $1.36 billion of the facility commitments to October 15, 2029, with the remaining $40.0 million commitment continuing to terminate on November 17, 2028. The First Amendment also provides that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.90 billion (the "accordion" feature) upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $185.0 million sublimit for letters of credit.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR (in each case as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), plus an applicable margin between 1.125% and 1.625% per annum, or if selected by the Company, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 0.125% and 0.625% per annum. The "applicable margins" described above are determined by a schedule based on the leverage ratio of the Company, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for customary fees including commitment fees payable to each lender ranging from 0.15% to 0.30% per annum based on the Company's leverage ratio.

The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The term of the guarantees is through the termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. In the case of a default, the guarantors would be required to perform under the agreement. The financial covenants include a consolidated leverage test and interest coverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, breach of any financial covenant and change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default, the Administrative Agent, with the consent or at the direction of the required lenders, may accelerate the payment of the obligations thereunder and exercise various other customary default remedies. We

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025.

We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were $35.5 million and $43.6 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. We had $0.0 million and $0.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $1.37 billion.

*Mortgage Repurchase Facilities.* Our Mortgage Operations enter into Mortgage Repurchase Facilities with various lenders, which provide liquidity by providing for the sale of eligible mortgage loans with an agreement by our Mortgage Operations to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. HomeAmerican is party to mortgage repurchase facilities with two lenders, which provide HomeAmerican with committed repurchase facilities of up to an aggregate of $300.0 million as of December 31, 2025 (subject to increase by up to $150.0 million under certain conditions with respect to one of the lenders). CLM is party to mortgage repurchase facilities with three lenders, which provide CLM with committed repurchase facilities of up to an aggregate of $165.0 million as of December 31, 2025.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, our Mortgage Operations had $177.2 million and $256.8 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that they were obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facilities. Mortgage loans that our Mortgage Operations are obligated to repurchase under the mortgage repurchase facilities are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facilities in the combined consolidated balance sheets. Pricing under the mortgage repurchase facilities are based on SOFR.

The Mortgage Repurchase Facilities have varying short term maturity dates through March 3, 2027. The Mortgage Repurchase Facilities contain various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, (i) a minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth requirement, (ii) a maximum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth ratio, (iii) a minimum adjusted net income requirement, and (iv) a minimum Liquidity requirement. The foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the mortgage repurchase facilities.

**15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commitments and Contingencies**

*Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit.* We are required to obtain surety bonds and letters of credit in support of our obligations for land development and subdivision improvements, homeowner association dues, warranty work, contractor license fees and earnest money deposits. At December 31, 2025, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $775.9 million and $169.1 million, respectively, including $133.6 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit were approximately $421.4 million and $136.2 million, respectively. All letters of credit as of December 31, 2025, excluding those issued by HomeAmerican, were issued either under our unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 13, *Lines of Credit and Total Debt Obligations*, for further discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility) or stand alone bi-lateral Letter of Credit Agreement. We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit.

We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.

*Litigation Reserves.* Because of the nature of the homebuilding business, we have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims and claims associated with the sale and financing of homes. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $37.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively, of legal accruals recorded in accrued and other liabilities in the combined consolidated balance sheets.

On November 13, 2024, Building Trades Pension Fund of Western Pennsylvania, acting on behalf of itself and a putative class of similarly situated stockholders of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. ("MDC"), filed a class action complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Larry A. Mizel ("Mr. Mizel"), David D. Mandarich ("Mr. Mandarich"), and SHRH. The complaint alleges, among other things, that, in connection with the acquisition of MDC by SHRH and its affiliates, Mr. Mizel and Mr. Mandarich breached their fiduciary duty to MDC and that SHRH aided and abetted such breach. Pursuant to indemnification agreements, SHUS has an obligation to indemnify Mr. Mizel and Mr. Mandarich in this matter. SHUS, in connection with such indemnification obligations, plans to vigorously defend against these allegations by the putative class plaintiffs. On or about March 3, 2025, all claims against SHRH were dismissed without prejudice. On or about January 15, 2026, a term sheet was executed by all parties to settle the Building Trades Pension Fund of Western Pennsylvania class action complaint for $25.0 million, which is anticipated to be fully covered by the Company's third-party insurance providers.

*Lot Option Contracts*. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into lot option purchase contracts ("Option Contracts"), generally through a deposit of cash or a letter of credit, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. The use of such land option and other contracts generally allow us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, reduces our capital and financial commitments, and minimizes the amount of land inventories on our combined consolidated balance sheets. In certain cases, these contracts will be settled shortly following the end of the period. Our obligation with respect to Option Contracts is generally limited to forfeiture of the related deposits. At December 31, 2025, we had letters of credit and cash deposits totaling $87.7 million and $15.5 million, respectively, at risk associated with options to purchase 10,076 lots.

The total intrinsic value of restricted stock which vested during each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.0 million and $27.7 million, respectively.

*Performance Share Unit Awards.* The Company has made annual grants of long term performance share unit awards ("PSUs") to each of the Executive Chairman, CEO and the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). The PSUs are earned based upon the Company's performance, over a period of three years (the "Performance Period"), measured by increasing home sale revenues over a "Base Period." Each award is conditioned upon the Company achieving an average gross margin from home sales (excluding impairments) of at least fifteen percent (15%) over the Performance Period. Target goals will be earned if the Company's three year average home sale revenues over the Performance Period ("Performance Revenues") exceed the home sale revenues over the Base Period ("Base Revenues") by at least 10% but less than 20%. If Performance Revenues exceed the Base Revenues by at least 5% but less than 10%, 50% of the Target Goals will be earned ("Threshold Goals"). If Performance Revenues exceed the Base Revenues by at least 20%, 200% of the Target Goals will be earned ("Maximum Goals"). The number of PSUs earned shall be adjusted to be proportional to the partial performance between the Threshold Goals, Target Goals and Maximum Goals.

In accordance with ASC 718, the PSUs were valued on the date of grant at their fair value. The fair value of these grants was equal to the closing price of MDC stock on the date of grant less the discounted cash flows of expected future dividends over the respective vesting period (as these PSUs do not participate in dividends). ASC 718 does not permit recognition of expense associated with performance-based stock awards until achievement of the performance targets are probable of occurring.

2023 *PSU Grants.* For the year to date period through April 19, 2024, the Company concluded that achievement of any of the performance metrics had not yet met the level of probability required to record compensation expense and as such, no expense related to these awards was recognized. As a part of the Merger, all PSUs, whether vested or unvested, outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were fully vested, cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash. As such, no share-based compensation expense related to these awards was recognized.

Our employee equity incentive plans permit us to withhold from the total number of shares that otherwise would be released to a restricted stock or performance share unit award recipient upon distribution that number of shares having a fair value at the time of distribution equal to the applicable income tax withholdings due. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 0 and 408,477 shares were withheld, respectively, resulting in $0.0 million and $25.6 million of income tax withholding, respectively, being remitted on behalf of the employees.

**20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Merger**

On April 19, 2024, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, by and among the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and, solely for the purposes of Section 6.2, Section 6.17 and Section 9.15 of the Merger Agreement, Guarantor, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock") outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock that are (A)(1) held by the Company as treasury stock; (2) held directly by Parent or Merger Sub; or (3) held by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the "Owned Company Shares"), (B) held by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, (C) held by a holder who is entitled to demand, and has properly and validly demanded, appraisal for such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL ("Dissenting Shares"), or (D) subject to vesting restrictions and/or forfeiture back to the Company ("Company RSAs")) was automatically converted into the right to receive $63.00 per share, in cash, without interest thereon (the "Merger Consideration");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each Owned Company Share was automatically cancelled and ceased to exist, and no consideration or payment will be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) each share of Company Common Stock held by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company was be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation with an aggregate value immediately after the consummation of the Merger equal to the Merger Consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Merger Agreement also provides that, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under any Company Equity Plan (each, a "Company Option") that was outstanding and unexercised, whether vested or unvested, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was fully vested, cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product of (A) the excess (if any) of (1) the Merger Consideration over (2) the exercise price per share of such Company Option, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, subject to any required withholding of Taxes; provided, however, that any Company Option with respect to which the applicable per share exercise price is greater than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled without consideration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each Company RSA, whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was fully vested, cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSA, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, subject to any required withholding of Taxes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) each performance stock unit award relating to shares of Company Common Stock granted under any Company Equity Plan (each, a "Company PSU"), whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was fully vested, cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU based on maximum performance, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, subject to any required withholding of Taxes.

The Merger Agreement further provides that, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub shall be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of Surviving Corporation Stock. This resulted in 100 shares of common stock at a $0.01 par value per share issued and outstanding.

The aggregate consideration of the Merger was approximately $4.9 billion, of which the Company funded $664.6 million. Included within these amounts is $53.2 million of compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, related to the vesting of equity awards as of the closing of the Merger, which are included within the Selling, general and administrative expenses line item within the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

On April 19, 2024, the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") filed with the SEC a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 to effect the delisting of all shares of the Company's Common Stock from the NYSE, as well as the deregistration of the Company's Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As a result, the Company's Common Stock will no longer be listed on the NYSE.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

On April 30, 2024, the Company filed with the SEC a certification on Form 15, requesting the termination of registration of the shares of the Company's Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company's reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the shares of the Company's Common Stock.

On June 13, 2024, the Company filed with the SEC a certification on Form 15, requesting the termination of registration of the shares of the Company's 6.000% Senior Notes due 2043 under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company's reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the all of the Company's senior notes.

Parent has accounted for the Merger under the acquisition method of accounting with the Company deemed to be the acquiree for accounting purposes. The Company and Parent have elected not to push down purchase accounting adjustments to reflect the assets and liabilities acquired at fair value, and therefore amounts reflected in the financial statements hereto have not been adjusted.

The Company incurred $39.4 million of transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 2024 in connection with the Merger. During the year ended December 31, 2025, with the issuance of final regulations in 2025 the $4.8 million of excise tax included within prior year transaction cost was no longer applicable and accordingly was reversed in 2025. Both of these amounts were recorded within the Transaction costs line item within the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company incurred $19.4 million of expense during the year ended December 31, 2024, related to key executives' transaction bonuses in connection with the Merger, which are included within the Selling, general and administrative expenses line item within the combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

**21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Common Control Mergers**

On December 1, 2025, Parent contributed (for no consideration) to the Company all of Parent's interests in its wholly owned subsidiary Woodside. Woodside is a homebuilding company with operations in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada and Utah. On January 1, 2026, Parent contributed (for no consideration) to the Company all of Parent's interests in its wholly owned subsidiaries Chesmar and Holt. Chesmar and Holt are homebuilding companies with operations in Texas, Oregon, and Washington.

Immediately prior to the contribution, the sole stockholder of the Company was also the sole stockholder of Woodside, Chesmar and Holt. As a result of the common ownership upon closing of the transactions, the acquisitions were considered common-control transactions and were outside the scope of the business combination guidance in ASC 805-50. The entities are deemed to be under common control as of April 19, 2024, which was the date that the sole stockholder acquired control of the Company and, therefore, held control over the Group. The combined consolidated financial statements incorporate Woodside, Chesmar and Holt financial results and financial information for the period beginning April 19, 2024, and the comparative information of the prior period does not include the financial results of Woodside, Chesmar and Holt prior to April 19, 2024.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported at the Parent's historical carrying amounts and the net assets are recognized in additional paid-in capital. The following table summarizes the historical balances of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of April 19, 2024:

As all common stock of the Company was owned by the SH Residential Holdings, LLC during the year-ended December 31, 2025, no such reports were required to be filed.

***Audit Committee***

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors ("Audit Committee"), which has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, consists of Mr. Reece, who serves as Chairman, Mr. Fujita, Mr. Yoshimoto, Mr. Robideau and Mr. Yeonas. Messrs. Reece and Yeonas of the Audit Committee are "independent" and "financially literate" in the judgment of the Board, as defined in the listing standards of the NYSE and the rules of the SEC. Messrs. Fujita, Robideau and Yoshimoto are considered "financially literate" but not "independent" in the judgment of the Board, as defined in the rules of the SEC. The Board has determined that Mr. Reece is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by applicable SEC regulations. The Board believes that his experience and qualifications described above under "Directors of the Registrant" qualify him to act as the Audit Committee's audit committee financial expert. The Audit Committee met five times during 2025.

***Code of Ethics***

We will provide to any shareholders or other person without charge, upon request, a copy of our Corporate Code of Conduct, code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions (collectively "senior financial officers") and the charters for our Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors ("Compensation Committee").

***Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee***

Following the Merger, certain oversight functions with respect to the business and affairs of the Company were assumed by Parent, including functions previously performed by the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, which were discontinued. As the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, the Company does not maintain procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company Board.

**Item 11. *Executive Compensation*.**

**Executive Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis**

***Executive Summary***

For fiscal 2025, our named executive officers were:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Named Executive Officers** | **Named Executive Officers** |
| David N. Viger | President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") |
| Robert N. Martin | Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") |

---

***Components of Executive Compensation***

On July 12, 2024, the Company entered into employment agreements with the CEO (then in his role as COO) and CFO ("Employment Agreement(s)") in conjunction with the closing of the Merger which provided for their continued employment.

The base salary for the CEO was set by the Compensation Committee on January 16, 2025, following his appointment to the CEO role on January 1, 2025. The base salary for the CFO was established based on the offer made to him in connection with his Employment Agreement.

The 2025 annual incentive compensation was based on the CEO and CFO's Employment Agreements. The 2025 target award for the CEO's annual incentive compensation was increased to $4,500,000 by the Compensation Committee, following his appointment to the CEO role on January 1, 2025. The CEO and CFO both received their minimum annual guaranteed award under their Employment Agreements of $2,250,000 and $1,700,000, respectively. The Employment Agreements also allow additional incentive amounts to be paid as a discretionary special bonus. For 2025, the Compensation Committee authorized the CEO and CFO to be paid additional amounts as discretionary special bonuses of $1,125,000 and $850,000, respectively, in consideration of their performance amidst difficult market conditions and their extra efforts in the integration of the U.S. homebuilding businesses.

The 2025 long term incentive compensation was in the form of cash-based awards that vest, subject to the executives' continuous service with the Company, on January 1st of the second year following the year of the grant date. The 2025 long term incentive awards granted to the CEO and CFO were $2,250,000 and $1,700,000, respectively, the amounts the Compensation Committee determined appropriate, in light of the rest of the compensation package, to encourage Executive retention through the term of the award vesting. The awards were granted on February 24, 2025 and will vest, subject to the executives' continuous service with the Company, on January 1, 2027.

***Other Compensation Considerations***

<u>Clawback Policy</u>

On July 24, 2023, our Board adopted a Clawback Recovery Policy. The policy requires the Company to recover the amount of "erroneously awarded" incentive-based compensation received by current or former executive officers in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws.

<u>Other Compensation</u>

In 2025, our executive officers also received compensation in the form of 401(k) employer contributions and cell phone allowances.

***Employment Term***: The initial term is through December 31, 2025. The Employment Agreements automatically extend for one-year terms unless (i) the Company elects to terminate by sixty days written notice, or (ii) the Executive is terminated earlier.

***Base Salaries***: For the initial term, Mr. Viger's base salary is $650,000 per year. The base salary for the Executive in additional terms may only be reduced below his prior year's base salary with the consent of the Executive and the Company. In connection with the appointment to President and Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee determined that David N. Viger's base salary would increase to $900,000 annually effective as of January 11, 2025.

***Incentive Compensation***: Mr. Viger is eligible to earn annual incentive compensation based upon achievement of goals to be determined, from time to time, by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Viger is also eligible to participate in the Company's long term incentive plan and receive special bonuses at the Company's discretion.

***Group Medical Insurance Benefits***: The Company provides group medical, dental and vision insurance benefits to Mr. Viger during employment.

***Long-Term Disability Benefits***: The Company will provide the Executive with long-term disability benefits. Under the benefits, the annual after-tax amount received by the Executive would equal the after-tax amount of his base salary for the year in which he becomes disabled. This long-term disability benefit would be paid monthly until the earlier of the end of the Executive's disability or prior to his becoming totally disabled.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

***Vacation***: The Executive is entitled to receive not less than six weeks of vacation each year without carryover from year to year.

***Termination for Cause***: An Executive may be terminated for "Cause," as defined in the Employment Agreement. If terminated for Cause, he will only be entitled to his "Accrued Benefits" of base salary through the termination date, annual incentive compensation earned but unpaid with respect to the year prior to the year of termination.

"Cause" is defined in the Employment Agreements as: (1) Executive's willful refusal to perform the material duties consistent with his position and which are reasonably required or requested of him hereunder (other than as a result of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness) by the Parent Designee for thirty days after having received written notice of such refusal from the Parent Designee and having failed to commence to perform such duties within such period, (2) Executive's commission of material acts of fraud, dishonesty or misrepresentation in the performance of his duties hereunder, (3) any final, non-appealable conviction of Executive for an act or acts on Executive's part constituting a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, or (4) any material uncured breach of the provisions of Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof which continues for thirty days after Executive has received written notice of such breach from the Company.

***Termination by the Company without Cause***: The Executive's employment may be terminated by the Company at any time without cause. If so, the Executive, in addition to the Accrued Benefits, is entitled to a lump sum "Termination Payment" of : (1) an amount equal to the aggregate base salary the Executive would have earned had he remained employed through the remainder of the Initial Term (or, if the Termination occurs during an Additional Term, the aggregate Base Salary Executive would have earned had he remained employed through the remainder of such Additional Term); and (2) if the Termination Date occurs in 2024, the Target Award for 2024 and 2025; if the Termination Date occurs in 2025, the Target Award for 2025; and if the Termination Date occurs during any Additional Term, the target Annual Incentive Compensation for the year in which the Termination Date occurs.

***Termination due to Retirement, Death, Presumed Death or Disability***: If the Executive's employment hereunder is terminated due to the Executive's death, presumed death or total disability, the Executive, or the Executive's beneficiary or estate, as applicable, will receive the Accrued Benefits and the Termination Payment.

***Excess Parachute Payments***: Certain payments that Mr. Viger may receive could be subject to an excise tax as an "excess parachute payment" under the Internal Revenue Code. This could occur following a Change in Control or through other payments made to the Executives. The Employment Agreement provide for calculations to compare the after-tax effect to the Executive of (a) automatically reducing the amount of the payment sufficient to avoid triggering any excise tax or, in the alternative, (b) paying the full awarded payment, requiring the executive to be fully responsible for payment of the excise tax, whichever alternative results in the greatest after-tax benefit to the executive.

See "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" below for additional information.

Based on the Compensation Committee's assessment of risk, the Company believes that its compensation policies and practices for its employees, including executive officers, do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company, and that such policies and practices are designed with strong oversight mechanisms in place.

**Item 13. *Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.***

***Review of Transactions With Related Persons***

Our policies require that full information be disclosed regarding transactions with related persons, without mandating how such transactions are to be addressed, so that they may be considered on their own merits. Specifically, our Corporate Code of Conduct, in addressing conflicts of interest, notes that personal interests of our employees and Directors and their family members could come into conflict, or create the appearance of a conflict, with the Company's interest. Accordingly, the Code of Conduct requires all employees (including our executive officers) and our Directors to immediately report conflicts of interest or transactions that could create the appearance of a conflict of interest. These reports are to be made immediately to a Company compliance officer (as identified in the Code of Conduct), the Company's Asset Management Committees, or, for members of the Company's Board of Directors, to the Audit Committee, for a determination as to compliance with the Code of Conduct.

In addition, the Audit Committee's charter provides for the Committee to be informed of any proposed related party transactions so that the Committee can review the proposed transaction. In support of this and the Company's SEC reporting

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i10b57421dabc474589d19fae78b95eee_7)</u>

requirements, the following written procedure has been adopted. Specifically, the executive officers and Directors are to inform the Committee of any potential related party transactions and, each quarter, are to attest to the existence of any related party transactions. The Company's legal department reports on a monthly basis to the Audit Committee any new related party transactions between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and any of the executive officers and Directors, including any of their family members. Also, our CFO reports on a quarterly basis to the Audit Committee as to the best of the CFO's and CEO's knowledge, whether or not any related party transactions have occurred.

***Transactions With Related Persons***

Note 15, *Related Party Transactions,* discusses and quantifies the dollar amounts of various transactions between the Company and Parent and its affiliates. Woodside had previously entered into certain financing arrangements with Parent and its affiliates, which financing arrangements were either terminated or transferred to the Parent prior to the Woodside Merger on December 1, 2025, with no continuing obligations existing for either Woodside or SHUS. In addition, the Company is party to a trademark license agreement with Parent and its affiliates, purchases land and certain construction materials from Parent and its affiliates and Woodside enters into forward commitment agreements with an affiliate of the Parent to facilitate financing offerings for their homes closings.

***Director Independence.***

Under the NYSE listing standards, no director qualifies as "independent" unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company. Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships, among others.

With respect to the determination of Mr. Reece's independence, the Board considered that, until his retirement on August 1, 2008, he was the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The Board concluded that the amount was not significant and is independent under the NYSE listing standards.

The Board determined that Mr. Yeonas has no material relationship with the Company and is independent under the NYSE listing standards.

Each of Mr. Fujita, Mr. Ishii, Mr. Kumemoto, Mr. Robideau, Mr. Tsuji, Mr. Yoshimoto and Mr. Yoshimura are not considered independent under NYSE listing standards as they are employed by the Parent and affiliates of the Parent.

## Ex-97

**Exhibit 97**

**Clawback Recovery Policy**

**of**

**M.D.C. Holdings, Inc.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 954 (Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation) of the Dodd-Frank Act, on October 26, 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted Rule 10D-1, effective January 27, 2023. Rule 10D-1 requires the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") to require its listed issuers to recover reasonably promptly the amount of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation in the event that the issuer is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the issuer with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws.

WHEREAS, effective October 2, 2023 ("Effective Date"), the NYSE has adopted new Section 303A.14 (the "NYSE Rule") of the NYSE Listed Company Manual ("Manual") requiring NYSE listed issuers to develop and implement a policy providing for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by current or former executive officers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, on January 14, 2015, M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") adopted a clawback policy pending promulgation by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of clawback regulations under Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act;

NOW, THEREFORE, effective immediately, the Company adopts the following Clawback Recovery Policy, which supersedes the Company's January 14, 2015 clawback policy:

**Clawback Recovery Policy**

**("Policy")**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.The Company will comply with this Policy for all Incentive-Based Compensation that is Received by Executive Officers on or after the Effective Date that results from attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure based on or derived from financial information for any fiscal period ending on or after the Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.The Company will recover Reasonably Promptly the amount of erroneously awarded Incentive-Based Compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.This Policy applies to all Incentive-Based Compensation received by a person:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)After beginning service as an Executive Officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Who served as an Executive Officer at any time during the performance period for that Incentive-Based Compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)While the Company has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange (e.g. NYSE) or a national securities association; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) During the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement. In addition to these last three completed fiscal years, the Policy also applies to any transition period as described in the NYSE Rule. The Company's obligation to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not dependent on if or when the restated financial statements are filed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.For purposes of determining the relevant recovery period, the date that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement is the earlier to occur of:

------

**Exhibit 97**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The date the board of directors, a committee of the board of directors, or the officer or officers of the Company authorized to take such action if board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The date a court, regulator, or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.The amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that is subject to this Policy ("Erroneously Awarded Compensation") is the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation received that exceeds the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts, and must be computed without regard to any taxes paid. For Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an Accounting Restatement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The amount must be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was received; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Company will maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the NYSE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.The Company must recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation in compliance with this Policy except to the extent that the following conditions in one of the following bullets are met, and the Company's Compensation Committee has made a determination that recovery would be impracticable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered. Before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on expense of enforcement, the Company must make a reasonable attempt to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation, document such reasonable attempt(s) to recover, and provide that documentation to the NYSE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the registrant, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any other condition specified in the NYSE Rule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.The Company is prohibited from indemnifying any Executive Officer or former Executive Officer against the loss of Erroneously Awarded Compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.The Company must file all disclosures with respect to this Policy in accordance with the requirements of the Federal securities laws, including the disclosures required by the SEC.

**<u>Definitions</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9."Accounting Restatement" means an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.

------

**Exhibit 97**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10."Effective Date" means the effective date of the NYSE Rule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11."Erroneously Awarded Compensation" is defined in Paragraph 5 above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12."Executive Officer" is defined in SEC Rule 10D-1(d) and the NYSE Rule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13."Financial Reporting Measures" are measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company's financial statements, and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from such measures. Stock price and total shareholder return are also Financial Reporting Measures. A financial reporting measure need not be presented within the financial statements or included in a filing with the Commission.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14."Incentive-Based Compensation" is any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15."Reasonably Promptly" means that the Company and its directors and officers must comply with the requirement to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation in a manner that is consistent with the exercise of their fiduciary duty to safeguard the assets of the Company (including the time value of any potentially recoverable compensation). The obligation to recover erroneously awarded Incentive-Based Compensation reasonably promptly will be assessed on a holistic basis with respect to each such Accounting Restatement prepared by the Company. In evaluating whether the Company is recovering erroneously awarded Incentive-Based Compensation reasonably promptly, the NYSE will consider whether the Company is pursuing an appropriate balance of cost and speed in determining the appropriate means to seek recovery, and whether the Company is securing recovery through means that are appropriate based on the particular facts and circumstances of each Executive Officer that owes a recoverable amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16."Received" -- Incentive-Based Compensation is deemed Received in the Company's fiscal period during which the financial reporting measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of the Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period.

**<u>General Exemptions</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.The requirements of the NYSE Rule and, accordingly, this Policy do not apply to the listing of any security identified in the General Exemptions to the NYSE Rule.
