NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2025, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that period. The consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2025 has been taken from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. The results of our consolidated operations for the three months and six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to seasonal variations in operating results and other factors.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” used in this report refer to KB Home, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents totaled $4563.03 million at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and $152.6 million at November 30, 2025. At ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025, our cash equivalents were mainly invested in interest-bearing bank deposit accounts and money market funds.

Comprehensive Income. Our comprehensive income was $3327.43 million for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and $~~109~~107.69 million for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2025. For the six months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, our comprehensive income was $60.8 million and $217.4 million, respectively. Our comprehensive income for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and 2025 was equal to our net income for the respective periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is 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, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 is to be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”), which modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software by removing all references to project stages and clarifying the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The guidance is effective for annual reporting ~~periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and may~~

periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and may be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2.Segment Information

We operate two principal businesses: homebuilding and financial services. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and for which segment results are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Each of our homebuilding divisions has been identified as an operating segment. Our homebuilding operating segments have been aggregated into four homebuilding reporting segments, based primarily on similarities in economic and geographic characteristics, product types, regulatory environments, methods used to sell and construct homes and land acquisition characteristics. Through February 28, 2026, our chief executive officer and chief operating officer together served as our CODM for purposes of our reportable segment disclosures and regularly reviewed the operating results for the individual operating segments that comprise our reporting segments. Effective March 1, 2026, our chief executive officer transitioned to executive chairman of the board and our chief operating officer was promoted to chief executive officer. As a result, effective March 1, 2026, our CODM is our executive chairman of the board and our chief executive officer. This CODM transition did not affect the CODM’s approach to deciding how to allocate resources or to assessing performance with respect to our operating segments.

The CODM evaluates the performance of our homebuilding operating segments primarily based on their respective housing gross profit margin and pretax income (loss). These profitability measures are used by the CODM in making operating and capital resource allocation decisions at the segment level, including their review and approval of land acquisition and land sale transactions. The CODM also uses these measures in business planning and forecasting, and considers budget-to-actual variances for these measures when assessing segment performance. In addition, segment pretax income (loss) is used by the CODM in determining the compensation of certain employees.

As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, our homebuilding reporting segments conducted ongoing operations in the following states:

West Coast: California, Idaho and Washington Southwest: Arizona and Nevada Central: Colorado and Texas Southeast: Florida, Georgia and North Carolina

Our homebuilding reporting segments are engaged in the acquisition and development of land primarily for residential purposes and offer a wide variety of homes that are designed to appeal to first-time, first move-up and active adult homebuyers. Our homebuilding operations generate most of their revenues from the delivery of completed homes to homebuyers. They also earn revenues from the sale of land.

We also have one financial services reporting segment. The CODM reviews pretax income for our financial services segment to assess performance and to inform decisions about the allocation of resources to the segment and as to financial services product offerings.

Our financial services reporting segment offers property and casualty insurance and, in certain instances, earthquake, flood and personal property insurance to our homebuyers in the same markets as our homebuilding reporting segments, and provides title services in the majority of our markets located within our Southwest, Central and Southeast homebuilding reporting segments. Our financial services reporting segment earns revenues primarily from insurance commissions and from the provision of title services.

We offer mortgage banking services, including residential consumer mortgage loan (“mortgage loan”) originations, to our homebuyers indirectly through KBHS Home Loans, LLC (“KBHS”), our unconsolidated joint venture with GR Alliance Ventures, LLC (“GR Alliance”), a subsidiary of Guaranteed Rate, Inc. We and GR Alliance each have a 50.0% ownership interest, with GR Alliance providing management oversight of KBHS’ operations. The financial services reporting segment is separately reported in our consolidated financial statements and in Note 3 – Financial Services.

Corporate and other is a non-operating segment that develops and oversees the implementation of company-wide strategic initiatives and provides support to our reporting segments by centralizing certain administrative functions. Corporate management is responsible for, among other things, evaluating and selecting the geographic markets in which we operate, consistent with our overall business strategy; allocating capital resources to markets for land acquisition and development activities; making major personnel decisions related to employee compensation and benefits; and monitoring the financial and operational performance of our divisions. Corporate and other includes general and administrative expenses related to operating our corporate headquarters. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate and other is allocated to our homebuilding reporting segments.

Our reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements. The results of each reporting segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented, nor are they indicative of the results to be expected in future periods.

The following tables present certain statements of operations information relating to our homebuilding reporting segments (dollars in thousands):

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an allocation of earnings between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. Our outstanding nonvested shares of restricted stock contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and, therefore, are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. We had no other participating securities at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and 2025.

For the three-month and six-month periods ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and 2025, no outstanding stock options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations. Contingently issuable shares associated with outstanding performance-based restricted stock units (each, a “PSU”) were not included in the basic earnings per share calculations for the periods presented, as the applicable vesting conditions had not been satisfied.

Land under development at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025 included land held for future development of $2710.50 million and $27.3 million, respectively.

Interest is capitalized to inventories while the related communities or land parcels are being actively developed and until homes are completed or the land is available for immediate sale. Capitalized interest is amortized to construction and land costs as the related inventories are delivered to homebuyers or land buyers (as applicable). We do not capitalize interest on land held for future development and land held for sale.

Our interest costs were as follows (in thousands):

7. Inventory Impairments and Land Option Contract Abandonments

Each community or land parcel in our owned inventory is assessed on a quarterly basis to determine if indicators of potential impairment exist. We record an inventory impairment charge on a community or land parcel that is active or held for future development when indicators of potential impairment exist and the carrying value of the real estate asset is greater than the undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. These real estate assets are written down to fair value, which is primarily determined based on the estimated future net cash flows discounted for inherent risk associated with each such asset, or other valuation techniques. We record an inventory impairment charge on land held for sale when the carrying value of a land parcel is greater than its fair value. These real estate assets are written down to fair value, less associated costs to sell. The estimated fair values of such assets are generally based on bona fide letters of intent from outside parties, executed sales contracts, broker quotes or similar information.

We evaluated 1625 active communities or land parcels for recoverability as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 with a carrying value of $~~196~~399.16 million. As of November 30, 2025, we evaluated 11 active communities or land parcels for recoverability with a carrying value of $154.1 million. In addition, we evaluated land held for future development for recoverability as of both ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025. ~~Based on the results of our evaluations, we recognized no inventory impairment charges for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2026 and 2025.~~

AsBased ofon ~~February 28, 2026,~~ the ~~aggregate~~results ~~carrying value~~ of our ~~inventory~~evaluations, ~~that~~we ~~had~~recognized ~~been impacted by~~ inventory impairment charges ~~was~~of $233.91 million, ~~representing~~for ~~six~~the ~~communities~~three-month and ~~various~~six-month ~~other~~periods ~~land~~ended ~~parcels~~May 31, 2026, related to one community.

Our inventory controlled under land option contracts and other similar contracts is assessed on a quarterly basis to determine whether it continues to meet our investment return standards. When a decision is made not to exercise certain land option contracts and other similar contracts due to market conditions and/or changes in our marketing strategy, we write off the related inventory costs, including non-refundable deposits and unrecoverable pre-acquisition costs. Based on the results of our assessments, we recognized land option contract abandonment charges of $2.2 million and $1.5 million for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, respectively. 14

13The following table summarizes significant quantitative unobservable inputs we utilized in our fair value measurements with respect to the impaired community written down to fair value:


	Three Months Ended May 31,		Six Months Ended May 31,
Unobservable Input	2026	2025	2026	2025
Average selling price	$627,500	n/a	$627,500	n/a
Deliveries per month	1	n/a	1	n/a
Discount rate	17%	n/a	17%	n/a

As of May 31, 2026, the aggregate carrying value of our inventory that had been impacted by inventory impairment charges was $22.1 million, representing seven communities and various other land parcels. As of November 30, 2025, the aggregate carrying value of our inventory that had been impacted by inventory impairment charges was $38.0 million, representing seven communities and various other land parcels.

Our inventory controlled under land option contracts and other similar contracts is assessed on a quarterly basis to determine whether it continues to meet our investment return standards. When a decision is made not to exercise certain land option contracts and other similar contracts due to market conditions and/or changes in our marketing strategy, we write off the related inventory costs, including non-refundable deposits and unrecoverable pre-acquisition costs. Based on the results of our assessments, we recognized land option contract abandonment charges of $2.5 million and $4.6 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 2026, respectively. For the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 2025, we recognized land option contract abandonment charges of $5.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

Due to the judgment and assumptions applied in our inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment assessment processes, and in our estimations of the remaining operating lives of our inventory assets and the realization of our inventory balances, particularly as to land held for future development, it is possible that actual results could differ substantially from those estimated, especially in periods of volatile housing market or broader economic conditions.

8. Variable Interest Entities

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. We participate in joint ventures from time to time that conduct land acquisition, land development and/or other homebuilding activities in various markets where our homebuilding operations are located. Our investments in these joint ventures may create a variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), depending on the contractual terms of the arrangement. We analyze our joint ventures under the variable interest model to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Based on our analyses, we determined that one of our joint ventures at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025 was a VIE, but we were not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Therefore, all of our joint ventures at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025 were unconsolidated and accounted for under the equity method because we did not have a controlling financial interest.

Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts. In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into land option contracts and other similar contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities to acquire rights to land for the construction of homes. Under these contracts, we typically make a specified option payment or earnest money deposit in consideration for the right to purchase land in the future, usually at a predetermined price. We analyze each of our land option contracts and other similar contracts under the variable interest model to determine whether the land seller is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the underlying land, we are required to consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary. As a result of our analyses, we determined that as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025, we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we have acquired rights to land under land option contracts and other similar contracts.

The following table presents a summary of our interests in land option contracts and other similar contracts (in thousands):

	February 28, 2026				November 30, 2025
	May 31, 2026				November 30, 2025
	Cash Deposits		Aggregate Purchase Price		Cash Deposits		Aggregate Purchase Price
Unconsolidated VIEs	$	3837,~~757~~833	$	1960,~~154,392~~151	$	51,872	$	1,320,433
Other land option contracts and other similar contracts	3233,~~732~~514		~~741~~703,~~668~~938		29,014		742,861
Total	$	71,~~489~~347	$	1,~~896~~664,~~060~~089	$	80,886	$	2,063,294

In addition to the cash deposits presented in the table above, our exposure to loss related to our land option contracts and other similar contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of pre-acquisition costs of $6482.03 million at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and $62.8 million at November 30, 2025. These pre-acquisition costs and cash deposits were included in inventories in our consolidated balance sheets.

For land option contracts and other similar contracts where the land seller entity is not required to be consolidated under the variable interest model, we consider whether such contracts should be accounted for as financing arrangements. Land option contracts and other similar contracts that may be considered financing arrangements include those we enter into with third-party land financiers or developers in conjunction with such third parties acquiring a specific land parcel(s) on our behalf, at our direction, and those with other landowners where we or our designee make improvements to the optioned land parcel(s) during the applicable option period. For these land option contracts and other similar contracts, we record the remaining purchase price of the associated land parcel(s) in inventories in our consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding financing obligation if we determine that we are effectively compelled to exercise the option to purchase the land parcel(s). As a result of our evaluations of land option contracts and other similar contracts for financing arrangements, we recorded inventories in our consolidated balance sheets, with a corresponding increase to accrued expenses and other liabilities, of $1312.84 million at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and $15.4 million at November 30, 2025.

9. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Homebuilding. We have investments in unconsolidated joint ventures that conduct land acquisition, land development and/or other homebuilding activities in various markets where our homebuilding operations are located. We and our unconsolidated joint venture partners make initial and/or ongoing capital contributions to these unconsolidated joint ventures, typically on a pro rata basis, according to our respective equity interests. The obligations to make capital contributions are governed by each such unconsolidated joint venture’s respective operating agreement and related governing documents.

We had investments in six homebuilding unconsolidated joint ventures as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025. The following table presents combined condensed information from the statements of operations for our homebuilding unconsolidated joint ventures (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended February 28,

(a) As of both ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the unconsolidated joint venture in California that delivered homes in the three-month and six-month periods ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and 2025 had borrowings outstanding under a term loan with a third-party lender to finance its land acquisition, development and construction activities. In January 2025, the loan agreement was amended, increasing the aggregate commitment to $60.0 million from $55.0 million, and providing anfor ~~eight-month~~a ~~loan~~reduction ~~extension option~~ to ~~replace the two previous six-month extension options. Pursuant to the amendment, the aggregate commitment was reduced to~~ $55.2 million on August 31, 2025, and to $40.0 million on February 28, 2026. ~~This~~In ~~term~~April 2026, the loan isagreement ~~scheduled~~was tofurther ~~mature~~amended, onreducing ~~April~~the ~~19,~~aggregate ~~2026~~commitment to $39.2 million, ~~unless~~providing ~~extended~~for oran ~~terminated~~additional ~~pursuant~~reduction to ~~its applicable terms~~$28.

Borrowings under the term loan are secured by the underlying property and related project assets. None of our other unconsolidated joint ventures had outstanding debt at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 or November 30, 2025.

We provide certain guarantees and indemnities to the lender in connection with the above-described term loan, including a guaranty of interest and carry costs; a guaranty to complete the construction of phases of the improvements for the project as such phases are commenced; a guaranty against losses suffered due to certain bad acts or failures to act by the unconsolidated joint venture or its partners; and an indemnity from environmental issues. Except to the extent related to the foregoing guarantees and indemnities, we do not have a guaranty or any other obligation to repay borrowings under the term loan or to support the value of the underlying collateral. However, various financial and non-financial covenants apply under the term loan and with respect to the related guaranty and indemnity obligations, and a failure to comply with such covenants could result in a default and cause the lender to seek to enforce such guaranty and indemnity obligations. As of the date of this report, we were in compliance with the relevant covenants. We do not believe that our existing exposure under our guaranty and indemnity obligations related to outstanding borrowings under the term loan is material to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenues are primarily generated from fees earned on mortgage loan originations, interest earned for the period loans are held by KBHS, and gains on the sales of mortgage loans held for sale. Gains on the sales of mortgage loans held for sale include the realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of such loans and any related derivative financial instruments.

Mortgage loans held for sale. Originated mortgage loans expected to be sold into the secondary market in the foreseeable future are reported as mortgage loans held for sale and carried in KBHS’ balance sheets at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized within revenues in KBHS’ statements of operations.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”). KBHS enters into IRLCs in connection with originating certain mortgage loans held for sale, at specified interest rates and within a specified period of time, with customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. KBHS accounts for IRLCs as free-standing derivatives and does not designate any for hedge accounting. As a result, IRLCs are recognized in KBHS’ balance sheets at fair value, and gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized within revenues in KBHS’ statements of operations. The fair value of IRLCs is based on market prices, which includes an estimate of the fair value of the associated mortgage servicing rights, adjusted for estimated costs to originate the underlying mortgage loans as well as the probability that the mortgage loans will fund within the terms of the IRLCs. The fair value of IRLCs included in other assets in KBHS’ balance sheets was $45.87 million at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and $4.6 million at November 30, 2025. The changes in the fair value of IRLCs, which were reported in revenues for the applicable periods, were gains of $.9 million and $1.0 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 2026, and losses of $2.1 million and $3.6 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 2025.

value of IRLCs, which were reported in revenues for the applicable periods, were a gain of $.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and a loss of $1.5 million for the three months ended February 28, 2025.

KBHS manages the interest rate and price risk associated with its outstanding IRLCs by entering into best efforts forward sale commitments under which mortgage loans locked with a borrower are simultaneously committed to a secondary market investor at a fixed price, subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded. These best efforts forward sale commitments do not meet the definition of derivative financial instruments and are therefore not recorded in KBHS’ balance sheets. If the mortgage loans underlying the IRLCs do not fund, KBHS does not have an obligation to fulfill the secondary market investor commitments.

Funding facilities. KBHS maintains warehouse lines of credit and master repurchase agreements with various financial institutions to fund its originated mortgage loans, with its mortgage loans held for sale pledged as collateral under these agreements. The agreements contain covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquid assets, maximum debt to net worth ratio and positive net income, as defined in the agreements. KBHS was in compliance with these covenants as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026. In addition to its compliance with these covenants, KBHS also depends on the ability and willingness of the applicable lenders and financial institutions to extend such credit facilities to KBHS to fund its originated mortgage loans. KBHS intends to renew these facilities when they expire at various dates in 2026 and 2027. The warehouse lines of credit and master repurchase agreements are not guaranteed by us or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee our senior notes, unsecured revolving credit facility with various banks (“Credit Facility”) and senior unsecured term loan agreement (“Term Loan”) (collectively, “Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

As homes are delivered, our obligation to pay the remaining TIFE assessments associated with each underlying lot is transferred to the homebuyer. As such, these assessment obligations will be paid by us only to the extent we do not deliver homes on applicable lots before the related TIFE obligations mature.

12.Leases

We lease certain property and equipment for use in our operations. We recognize lease expense for these leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term and combine lease and non-lease components for all leases. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets for leases with an expected term at the commencement date of more than 12 months. Lease expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations and includes costs for leases with terms of more than 12 months as well as short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less. Our total lease expense for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and 2025 was $5.23 million and $45.81 million, respectively, and included short-term lease costs of $1.89 million and $1.58 million, respectively. For the six months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, our total lease expense was $10.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively, and included short-term lease costs of $3.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Variable lease costs and external sublease income for the three-month and six-month periods ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and 2025 were immaterial.

The following table presents our lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities (in thousands):

	February 28,2026		November 30,2025
	May 31,2026		November 30,2025
Lease right-of-use assets	$	2527,~~888~~088	$	17,519
Lease liabilities	2829,~~473~~959		19,801

Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are predominately within our homebuilding operations, with nominal amounts in our financial services operations.

13.Income Taxes

Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense and effective tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended February 28,
	Three Months Ended May 31,						Six Months Ended May 31,
	2026			2025			2026			2025
Income tax expense	$	69,900		$	2934,~~800~~500		$	16,800		$	64,300
Effective tax rate	1726.16		%	2124.42		%	21.7		%	22.8		%

Our income tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 ~~included~~reflected ~~the favorable impact of~~ $31.86 million of ~~excess~~non-deductible ~~tax~~executive ~~benefits~~compensation ~~related~~expense, topartly ~~stock-based~~offset ~~compensation~~by ~~and~~the favorable impact of $1.41 million of Internal Revenue Code Section 45L (“Section 45L”) tax credits we recognized primarily from building energy-efficient homes~~, partly offset by $1~~.~~1 million of non-deductible executive compensation expense.~~ Our income tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2025 ~~reflected~~included the favorable impact of $53.~~4 million of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and $~~1.7 million of Section 45L tax credits, partly offset by $2.48 million of non-deductible executive compensation expense.

For the six months ended May 31, 2026, our income tax expense and effective tax rate included the favorable impact of $3.8 million of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and $1.5 million of Section 45L tax credits, partly offset by $2.7 million of non-deductible executive compensation expense. Our income tax expense and effective tax rate for the six months ended May 31, 2025 reflected the favorable impact of $5.4 million of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and $4.8 million of Section 45L tax credits, partly offset by $5.2 million of non-deductible executive compensation expense.

On July 4, 2025, H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was signed into law. Among its provisions is the repeal of Section 45L tax credits for new energy-efficient homes delivered after June 30, 2026. As a result, our income tax expense and effective tax rate take into account the anticipated lower Section 45L benefit for the homes delivered after the effective date. The other tax-related provisions of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance. We evaluate our deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if adjustments to our valuation allowance are required based on the consideration of all available positive and negative evidence using a “more likely than not” standard with respect to whether deferred tax assets will be realized. Our evaluation considers, among other factors, our historical operating results, our expectation of future profitability, the duration of the applicable statutory carryforward periods, and conditions in the housing market and the broader economy. The ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets depends primarily on our ability to generate future taxable income during the periods in which the related deferred tax assets become deductible. The value of our deferred tax assets depends on applicable income tax rates.

18As of both May 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, we had deferred tax assets of $104.2 million that were partly offset by valuation allowances of $15.5 million. The deferred tax asset valuation allowances at May 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025 were primarily related to certain state net operating losses that had not met the “more likely than not” realization standard at those dates. Based on the evaluation of our deferred tax assets as of May 31, 2026, we determined that most of our deferred tax assets would be realized. Therefore, no adjustments to our deferred tax asset valuation allowance were needed for the six months ended May 31, 2026.

As of both February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, we had deferred tax assets of $104.2 million that were partly offset by valuation allowances of $15.5 million. The deferred tax asset valuation allowances at February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025 were primarily related to certain state net operating losses that had not met the “more likely than not” realization standard at those dates. Based on the evaluation of our deferred tax assets as of February 28, 2026, we determined that most of our deferred tax assets would be realized. Therefore, no adjustments to our deferred tax asset valuation allowance were needed for the three months ended February 28, 2026.

We will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence on a quarterly basis in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to our deferred tax assets. The accounting for deferred tax assets is based upon estimates of future results. Changes in positive and negative evidence, including differences between estimated and actual results, could result in changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets that could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Changes in existing federal and state tax laws and corporate income tax rates could also affect actual tax results and the realization of deferred tax assets over time.

14.Notes Payable

Notes payable consisted of the following (in thousands):

	February 28,2026		November 30,2025

Total	$	1,~~893~~968,~~258~~714	$	1,692,977

The carrying amounts of our senior notes listed above are net of unamortized debt issuance costs, which totaled $98.59 million at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and $10.1 million at November 30, 2025.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. We have a $1.20 billion Credit Facility that will mature on November 12, 2030. The Credit Facility contains an uncommitted accordion feature under which its aggregate principal amount of available loans can be increased to a maximum of $1.70 billion under certain conditions, including obtaining additional bank commitments. The Credit Facility also contains a sublimit of $250.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility accrues at a term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), daily SOFR or a base rate, plus a spread that depends on our consolidated leverage ratio (“Leverage Ratio”), as defined under the Credit Facility. Interest is payable monthly (base rate or daily SOFR borrowings) or each month or three months (term SOFR borrowings). The Credit Facility also requires the payment of a commitment fee at a per annum rate ranging from .15% to .35% of the unused commitment, based on our Leverage Ratio. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we are required, among other things, to maintain compliance with various covenants, including financial covenants relating to our consolidated tangible net worth, Leverage Ratio, and either a consolidated interest coverage ratio (“Interest Coverage Ratio”) or minimum level of liquidity, each as defined therein. Our obligations to pay borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by our Guarantor Subsidiaries. The amount of the Credit Facility available for cash borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit depends on the total cash borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility and the maximum available amount under the terms of the Credit Facility. As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, we had $~~200~~275.0 million of cash borrowings and $1.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. Therefore, as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, we had $~~998~~923.4 million available for cash borrowings under the Credit Facility, with up to $248.4 million of that amount available for the issuance of letters of credit. As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, the weighted average annual interest rate on our outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was 54.09%.

Senior Unsecured Term Loan. We have a $360.0 million Term Loan with the lenders party thereto. The Term Loan will mature on November 12, 2029. Interest under the Term Loan accrues at a term SOFR, daily SOFR or a base rate, plus a spread that depends on our Leverage Ratio. Interest is payable quarterly (base rate borrowings), monthly (daily SOFR borrowings), or each month or three months (term SOFR borrowings). The Term Loan contains various covenants that are substantially the same as those under the Credit Facility. The proceeds drawn under the Term Loan are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by our Guarantor Subsidiaries. As of May 31, 2026, the weighted average annual interest rate on our outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan was 5.1%.

19Letter of Credit Facility. We maintain an unsecured letter of credit agreement with a financial institution (“LOC Facility”) to obtain letters of credit from time to time in the ordinary course of operating our business. Under the LOC Facility, which expires on February 13, 2028, we may issue up to $100.0 million of letters of credit. As of May 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, we had letters of credit outstanding under the LOC Facility of $55.4 million and $68.2 million, respectively.

~~joint~~Senior Notes. All the senior notes outstanding at May 31, 2026 and ~~several~~November 30, ~~basis~~2025 represent senior unsecured obligations that are guaranteed by our Guarantor Subsidiaries~~.

Letter of Credit Facility. We maintain an unsecured letter of credit agreement with a financial institution (“LOC Facility”) to obtain letters of credit from time to time in the ordinary course of operating our business. Under the LOC Facility, which expires on February 13, 2028, we may issue up to $100.0 million of letters of credit. As of February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025, we had letters of credit outstanding under the LOC Facility of $57.3 million and $68.2 million, respectively. 21

Senior Notes. All the senior notes outstanding at February 28, 2026 and November 30, 2025 represent senior unsecured obligations that are guaranteed by our Guarantor Subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all of our and our Guarantor Subsidiaries’ existing unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. All of our senior notes were issued in underwritten public offerings. Interest on each of these senior notes is payable semi-annually.

The indenture governing our senior notes does not contain any financial covenants. Subject to specified exceptions, the indenture contains certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur secured indebtedness, or engage in sale and leaseback transactions involving property above a certain specified value. In addition, the indenture contains certain limitations related to mergers, consolidations, and sales of assets.

As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, we were in compliance with the applicable terms of all of our covenants and other requirements under the Credit Facility, the Term Loan, the senior notes, the indenture, the LOC Facility, and the mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans. Our ability to access the Credit Facility for cash borrowings and letters of credit and our ability to secure future debt financing depend, in part, on our ability to remain in such compliance. Our ability to access the Credit Facility’s full borrowing capacity, as well as the LOC Facility’s full issuance capacity, also depends on the ability and willingness of the applicable lenders and financial institutions, including any substitute or additional lenders and financial institutions, to meet their commitments to fund loans, extend credit or provide payment guarantees to or for us under those instruments.

Mortgages and Land Contracts Due to Land Sellers and Other Loans. As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, inventories having a carrying value of $20.78 million were pledged to collateralize mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans.

As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, principal payments on our senior notes, mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans are due during each year ending November 30 as follows: 2026 – $.54 million; 2027 – $301.1 million; 2028 – $.8 million; 2029 – $660.34 million; 2030 – $350.0 million and thereafter – $390.0 million.

15.Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities are categorized based on the following hierarchy:


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

Level 2						Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, by correlation or other means.

Level 3						Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.

Fair value measurements are used for inventories on a nonrecurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that their carrying value is not recoverable. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy and our assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and the year ended November 30, 2025 (in thousands):

		February 28, 2026						November 30, 2025
		May 31, 2026						November 30, 2025
Description	Fair Value Hierarchy	Pre-Impairment Value		Inventory Impairment Charges		Fair Value (a)		Pre-Impairment Value		Inventory Impairment Charges		Fair Value (a)
Inventories	Level 3	$	—6,516	$	—(3,111)	$	—3,405	$	54,095	$	(15,531)	$	38,564

(a)Amounts represent the aggregate fair value for real estate assets impacted by inventory impairment charges during the applicable period, as of the date that the fair value measurements were made. The carrying value for these real estate assets may have subsequently increased or decreased from the fair value reflected due to activity that has occurred since the measurement date.

The fair values for inventories that were determined using Level 3 inputs were based on the estimated future net cash flows discounted for inherent risk associated with each underlying asset.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy, carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments, except those for which the carrying values approximate fair values (in thousands):

(a)The carrying value for the senior notes, as presented, includes unamortized debt issuance costs. Debt issuance costs are not factored into the estimated fair values of these notes.

The fair values of our senior notes are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for these instruments. The carrying values reported for cash and cash equivalents, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, if any, the Term Loan, and mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans approximate fair values. The carrying value of corporate-owned life insurance is based on the cash surrender value of the policies and, accordingly, approximates fair value.

16.Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and contingencies include typical obligations of homebuilders for the completion of contracts and those incurred in the ordinary course of business.

Warranty. We provide a limited warranty on all of our homes. The specific terms and conditions of our limited warranty program vary depending upon the markets in which we do business. We generally provide a structural warranty of 10 years, a warranty on electrical, heating, cooling, plumbing and certain other building systems each varying from two to five years based on geographic market and state law, and a warranty of one year for other components of the home. Our limited warranty program is ordinarily how we respond to and account for homeowners’ requests to local division offices seeking repairs of certain conditions or defects, including claims where we could have liability under applicable state statutes or tort law for a defective condition in or damages to a home. Our warranty liability covers the costs of repairs associated with homeowner claims made under our limited warranty program. These claims are generally made directly by a homeowner and involve their individual home.

We estimate the costs that may be incurred under each limited warranty and record a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the revenue associated with the sale of each home is recognized. Our primary assumption in estimating the amounts we accrue for warranty costs is that historical claims experience is a strong indicator of future claims experience. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of homes delivered, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our accrued warranty liability, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, and adjust the amount as necessary based on our assessment. Our assessment includes a review of our actual warranty costs incurred to identify trends and changes in our warranty claims experience, and considers our home construction quality and customer service initiatives and outside events. While we believe the warranty liability currently reflected in our consolidated balance sheets to be adequate, unanticipated changes or developments in the legal environment, local weather, land or environmental conditions, quality of materials or methods used in the construction of homes or customer service practices and/or our warranty claims experience could have a significant impact on our actual warranty costs in future periods and such amounts could differ significantly from our current estimates.

Balance at end of period	$	102,~~539~~270	$	9697,~~067~~658	$	102,270	$	97,658

Guarantees. In the normal course of our business, we issue certain representations, warranties and guarantees related to our home sales and land sales. Based on historical experience, we do not believe any potential liability with respect to these representations, warranties or guarantees would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Self-Insurance. We maintain, and require the majority of our independent contractors to maintain, general liability insurance (including construction defect and bodily injury coverage) and workers’ compensation insurance. These insurance policies protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from claims related to our homebuilding activities, subject to certain self-insured retentions, deductibles and other coverage limits. We also maintain certain other insurance policies. Costs associated with our self-insurance programs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In Arizona, California, Colorado and Nevada, our contractors’ general liability insurance primarily takes the form of a wrap-up policy under a program where eligible independent contractors are enrolled as insureds on each community. Enrolled contractors generally contribute toward the cost of the insurance and agree to pay a contractual amount in the future if there is a claim related to their work. To the extent provided under the wrap-up program, we absorb the enrolled contractors’ general liability associated with the work performed on our homes within the applicable community as part of our overall general liability insurance and our self-insurance.

We self-insure a portion of our overall risk through the use of a captive insurance subsidiary, which provides coverage for our exposure to construction defect, bodily injury and property damage claims and related litigation or regulatory actions, up to certain limits. Our self-insurance liability generally covers the costs of settlements and/or repairs, if any, as well as our costs to defend and resolve the following types of claims:

•Construction defect: Construction defect claims, which represent the largest component of our self-insurance liability, typically originate through a legal or regulatory process rather than directly by a homeowner and involve the alleged occurrence of a condition affecting two or more homes within the same community, or they involve a common area or homeowners’ association property within a community. These claims typically involve higher costs to resolve than individual homeowner warranty claims, and the rate of claims is highly variable.

•Bodily injury: Bodily injury claims typically involve individuals (other than our employees) who claim they were injured while on our property or as a result of our operations.

•Property damage: Property damage claims generally involve claims by third parties for alleged damage to real or personal property as a result of our operations. Such claims may occasionally include those made against us by owners of property located near our communities.

Our self-insurance liability at each reporting date represents the estimated costs of reported claims, claims incurred but not yet reported, and claim adjustment expenses. The amount of our self-insurance liability is based on an analysis performed by a third-party actuary that uses our historical claim and expense data, as well as industry data to estimate these overall costs. Key assumptions used in developing these estimates include claim frequencies, severities and resolution patterns, which can occur over an extended period of time. These estimates are subject to variability due to the length of time between the delivery of a home to a homebuyer and when a construction defect claim is made, and the ultimate resolution of such claim; uncertainties regarding such claims relative to our markets and the types of products we build; and legal or regulatory actions and/or interpretations, among other factors. Due to the degree of judgment involved and the potential for variability in these underlying assumptions, our actual future costs could differ from those estimated. In addition, changes in the frequency and severity of reported claims and the estimates to resolve claims can impact the trends and assumptions used in the actuarial analysis, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Though state regulations vary, construction defect claims are reported and resolved over a long period of time, which can extend for 10 years or more. As a result, the majority of the estimated self-insurance liability based on the actuarial analysis relates to claims incurred but not yet reported. Therefore, adjustments related to individual existing claims generally do not significantly impact the overall estimated liability. Adjustments to our liabilities related to homes delivered in prior years are recorded in the period in which a change in our estimate occurs.

Our self-insurance liability is presented on a gross basis for all periods without consideration of insurance recoveries and amounts we have paid on behalf of and expect to recover from other parties, if any. Estimated probable insurance and other recoveries of $21.2 million and $22.3 million are included in receivables in our consolidated balance sheets at May 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, respectively. These self-insurance recoveries are principally based on actuarially determined amounts and depend on various factors, including, among other things, the above-described claim cost estimates, our insurance policy coverage limits for the applicable policy year(s), historical third-party recovery rates, insurance industry practices, the regulatory environment and legal precedent, and are subject to a high degree of variability from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty and variability in these assumptions, our actual insurance recoveries could differ significantly from amounts currently estimated.

(a)Represents net changes in the portion of our self-insurance liability estimated to be recoverable from our insurers or other parties, and/or actual recoveries funded directly by our insurers or other parties, if any.

For most of our claims, there is no interaction between our warranty liability and self-insurance liability. Typically, if a matter is identified at its outset as either a warranty or self-insurance claim, it remains as such through its resolution. However, there can be instances of interaction between the liabilities, such as where individual homeowners in a community separately request warranty repairs to their homes to address a similar condition or issue and subsequently join together to initiate, or potentially initiate, a legal process with respect to that condition or issue and/or the repair work we have undertaken. In these instances, the claims and related repair work generally are initially covered by our warranty liability, and the costs associated with resolving the legal matter (including any additional repair work) are covered by our self-insurance liability.

The payments we make in connection with claims and related repair work may be recovered from our insurers to the extent such payments exceed the self-insured retentions or deductibles under, and are within the scope of coverage provided by, our general liability insurance policies. Also, in certain instances, in the course of resolving a claim, we pay amounts in advance of and/or on behalf of an independent contractor(s) or their insurer(s) and believe we will be reimbursed for such payments. Estimates of all such amounts, if any, are recorded as receivables in our consolidated balance sheets when any such recovery is considered probable.

In addition to the risk that is effectively self-insured through our captive insurance subsidiary, we often obtain project-specific insurance coverage for construction defect risk on attached projects (e.g., condominiums or townhomes) with self-insured retentions generally ranging from $50,000 to $250,000. We record estimated liabilities and recoveries for projected losses related to these projects on a gross basis, including for known claims as well as estimates for claims incurred but not yet reported, to the extent such amounts are considered probable and estimable.

Performance Bonds and Letters of Credit. We are often required to provide to various municipalities and other government agencies performance bonds and/or letters of credit to secure the completion of our projects and/or in support of obligations to build community improvements such as roads, sewers, water systems and other utilities, and to support similar development activities by certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures. At ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, we had $1.3638 billion of performance bonds and $5857.90 million of letters of credit outstanding. At November 30, 2025, we had $1.37 billion of performance bonds and $69.8 million of letters of credit outstanding. If any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit. We do not believe that a material amount of any currently outstanding performance bonds or letters of credit will be called. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates. Rather, we are released from the performance bonds as the underlying performance is completed. The expiration dates of some letters of credit issued in connection with community improvements coincide with the expected completion dates of the related projects or obligations. Most letters of credit, however, are issued with an initial term of one year and are typically extended on a year-to-year basis until the related performance obligations are completed.

23Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts. In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into land option contracts and other similar contracts to acquire rights to land for the construction of homes. At May 31, 2026, we had total cash deposits of $71.3 million to purchase land having an aggregate purchase price of $1.66 billion.

Civil Subpoena. On October 2, 2023, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Division, dated September 27, 2023, to produce certain documents and testimony with respect to the inspection, rating, marketing and advertising of our ENERGY STAR certified homes, including our contracts and/or communications with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and third-party ENERGY STAR rating companies, real estate brokers, real estate appraisers, financial institutions and other parties, as well as inspection-related guidelines, instructions, methods, policies, processes and procedures. We are cooperating with the government and have produced documents and information. As of the date of this report, we are unable to predict what actions the government will take, if any; the timing or nature of the ultimate outcome in this matter; or the impact, if any, such outcome may have on our business or consolidated financial statements. As a result, while a loss or penalty, if any, is reasonably possible in this matter, it is not considered to be probable or estimable.25

processes and procedures. We are cooperating with the government and have produced documents and information. As of the date of this report, we are unable to predict what actions the government will take, if any; the timing or nature of the ultimate outcome in this matter; or the impact, if any, such outcome may have on our business or consolidated financial statements. As a result, while a loss or penalty, if any, is reasonably possible in this matter, it is not considered to be probable or estimable.

17.Legal Matters

We are involved in litigation and regulatory proceedings incidental to our business that are in various procedural stages. We believe the accruals we have recorded for probable and reasonably estimable losses with respect to these proceedings are adequate and that, as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, it was not reasonably possible that an additional material loss had been incurred in an amount in excess of the estimated amounts already recognized or disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our accruals for litigation and regulatory proceedings at least quarterly and, as appropriate, adjust them to reflect (a) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments; (b) the advice and analyses of counsel; and (c) the assumptions and judgment of management. Similar factors and considerations are used in establishing new accruals for proceedings as to which losses have become probable and reasonably estimable at the time an evaluation is made. Our accruals for litigation and regulatory proceedings are presented on a gross basis without consideration of recoveries and amounts we have paid on behalf of and expect to recover from other parties, if any. Estimates of recoveries and amounts we have paid on behalf of and expect to recover from other parties, if any, are recorded as receivables when such recoveries are considered probable. Based on our experience, we believe the amounts that may be claimed or alleged against us in these proceedings are not a meaningful indicator of our potential liability. The outcome of any of these proceedings, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses we may incur, however, is inherently uncertain and could differ significantly from the estimate reflected in a related accrual, if made. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a related accrual or if an accrual has not been made, could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to SEC rules, we will disclose any proceeding in which a governmental authority is a party and that arises under any federal, state or local provisions enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment only where we believe that such proceeding will result in monetary sanctions on us, exclusive of interest and costs, above $1.0 million or is otherwise material to our consolidated financial statements.

18.Stockholders’ Equity

On February 20, 2026, the management development and compensation committee of our board of directors approved the payout of 568,696 shares of our common stock in connection with the vesting of PSUs that were granted to certain employees on November 14, 2022. The shares paid out under the PSUs reflected our achievement of certain performance measures that were based on cumulative earnings per share, average return on invested capital, and revenue growth relative to a peer group of high-production public homebuilding companies over the three-year period from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2025. Of the shares of common stock paid out, 261,364 shares, or $17.1 million, were purchased by us in the 2026 first quarter to satisfy the recipients’ withholding taxes on the vesting of the PSUs. The shares purchased were not considered repurchases under the authorizations described below.

On October 9, 2025, our board of directors authorized us to repurchase up to $1.00 billion of our outstanding common stock. As of November 30, 2025, there was $900.0 million of remaining availability under this share repurchase authorization. In the ~~three~~2026 ~~months~~first ~~ended February 28~~half, ~~2026,~~ we repurchased ~~843~~2,~~339~~216,336 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $50125.0 million. Repurchases under the authorization may occur periodically through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the timing and amount at management’s discretion and dependent on market, business and other conditions. This share repurchase authorization will continue in effect until fully used or earlier terminated or suspended by our board of directors, and does not obligate us to purchase any shares. As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, there was $775.0 million of remaining availability under this share repurchase authorization.

24The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which was enacted into law on August 16, 2022, imposed a non-deductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. In the three months and six months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, we reflected the applicable excise tax in treasury stock as part of the cost basis of the stock repurchased and recorded a corresponding liability for the excise taxes payable in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. All dollar amounts presented in this report related to our share repurchases and our share repurchase authorization exclude such excise taxes, to the extent applicable, unless otherwise indicated.

~~2026, there was $850.0 million of remaining availability under this share repurchase authorization.~~ 26

19.Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Options. At ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025, we had ~~321~~316,378 and 350,864 stock options outstanding, each with a weighted average exercise price of $16.21. We have not granted any stock option awards since 2016. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, a total of 2934,486 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $16.21 were exercised. As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable each had a weighted average remaining contractual life of .64 years. As all outstanding stock options have been fully vested since 2019, there was no stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options for the three-month and six-month periods ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and 2025. Stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable each had an aggregate intrinsic value of $1510.23 million at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026. (The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the market value of a share of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock option.)

Other Stock-Based Awards. From time to time, we grant restricted stock and PSUs to various employees as a compensation benefit. We recognized total compensation expense of $65.05 million and $79.62 million for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to restricted stock and PSUs. For the six months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized total compensation expense of $11.5 million and $16.7 million, respectively, related to restricted stock and PSUs.

21.~~Subsequent~~Relocation ~~Event~~of Corporate Headquarters

On April 8, 2026, we announced ~~that~~plans weto ~~will~~ relocate our corporate headquarters office from Los Angeles, California to Tempe, Arizona ~~in 2027~~. The relocation is intended to bring executive leadership and corporate functions together in a more ~~central~~centralized location and is expected to reduce our cost structure over time. InRelocation ~~connection~~activities ~~with~~will ~~the~~primarily ~~relocation,~~occur wein ~~expect~~two ~~to incur certain one‑time transition costs~~phases, ~~including~~with ~~employee-related~~the ~~severance,~~larger ~~retention,~~phase ~~and~~anticipated ~~relocation,~~to asbe ~~well~~substantially ascomplete ~~recruitment~~in ~~and~~2027 ~~onboarding,~~ and ~~other~~a ~~costs. We~~smaller ~~are~~phase ~~currently~~expected ~~evaluating the potential impact of these costs, which may be material~~ to ~~our~~continue ~~consolidated~~into ~~financial statements~~2028.

25Based on our current estimates and assumptions, and subject to our relocation efforts proceeding as currently planned, we expect to incur total costs associated with the relocation of approximately $8.0 million to $12.0 million. The majority of these costs are expected to be incurred in 2027, with certain costs extending into 2028. These estimates are subject to change as our relocation plan progresses and workforce transition decisions and other factors continue to evolve; accordingly, actual costs and the timing of when such costs are incurred may differ from current expectations. The relocation cost estimates mainly consist of employee separation, retention and relocation expenses, with a smaller portion

related to other exit costs such as travel; legal, consulting and other professional services; contract terminations; and asset impairments. As employees are required to provide service through applicable dates to receive separation or retention benefits, the expenses and related liabilities are recognized ratably over the required service period. Relocation expenditures and other exit costs are generally recognized in the period incurred.

For both the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 2026, we recognized $1.5 million of expenses related to the relocation, including $.5 million of asset impairments. All such expenses for both periods were included in selling, general and administrative expenses, within our corporate and other non-operating segment, in our consolidated statements of operations. As of May 31, 2026, the liability for relocation costs totaled $1.0 million and was included within accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.

Revenues. Homebuilding revenues for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 consisted of housing revenues and nominal land sale revenues. In the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2025, homebuilding revenues were generated solely from housing operations. Housing revenues for the 2026 ~~first~~second quarter declined 2327% from the year-earlier quarter, ~~driven~~due byto adecreases 14of 23% ~~decrease~~ in the number of homes delivered and ~~a 10~~5% ~~decline~~ in their overall average selling price. ~~Our~~Each ~~2026~~of ~~first-quarter~~our ~~housing~~homebuilding ~~revenues~~reporting ~~included~~segments posted year-over-year decreases ~~of 25%~~ in ~~our~~second ~~West~~quarter ~~Coast~~housing ~~homebuilding reporting segment~~revenues, ~~42%~~ranging infrom ~~our Southwest segment and 19~~17% in our ~~Central~~Southeast segment, ~~partially~~to ~~offset by an 11~~47% ~~increase~~ in our ~~Southeast~~Southwest segment. The decline in the overall number of homes delivered ~~largely~~primarily resulted from our having 2919% fewer homes in backlog at the beginning of the 2026 ~~first~~second quarter, as compared to the year-earlier ~~quarter~~period, as well as our strategic shift toward a higher mix of Built to Order sales in the 2026 first half. The lower average selling price ~~primarily~~mainly reflected a combination of product and geographic mix factors and the price reductions we implemented in ~~2025 in~~ conjunction with our simplified sales strategy to stimulate demand.

~~Land~~For ~~sale revenues for~~ the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, ~~totaled~~homebuilding ~~$.6~~revenues ~~million.

~~•Housing~~Operating ~~Gross~~Income. Our ~~Profits~~homebuilding –operating ~~Housing~~income ~~gross profits of $164.0 million~~ for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 ~~were~~decreased ~~down 41~~79% ~~year~~from ~~over~~the prior-year period, reflecting lower housing ~~revenues~~gross ~~and~~profits, apartly ~~490~~offset ~~basis-point~~by ~~decrease~~lower inselling, ~~our~~general ~~housing~~and ~~gross~~administrative ~~profit margin to 15~~expenses.~~3%.~~ ~~The~~Operating ~~decline~~income infor ~~the~~both ~~housing~~periods ~~gross~~included ~~profit~~$5.6 ~~margin~~million ~~primarily~~of ~~reflected~~inventory-related ~~the price reductions we implemented a year ago, higher relative land costs, product and geographic mix, and reduced operating leverage~~charges.

~~•Land~~For ~~Sale~~the ~~Profits~~six –months ~~Land~~ended ~~sales~~May 31, ~~generated~~2026, ~~essentially~~our ~~break~~homebuilding operating income declined 76% from the year-~~even~~earlier ~~results~~period mainly due to a decrease in housing gross profits, partly offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 included inventory-related charges of $7.7 million, compared to $7.0 million of such charges for the corresponding 2025 period. ~~There~~As ~~were~~a nopercentage ~~land~~of ~~sales~~revenues, ~~during~~our operating income for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, ~~2025~~2026 decreased 610 basis points year over year to 2.8%, mainly reflecting a lower housing gross profit margin and higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues. Excluding inventory-related charges, our operating income as a percentage of revenues declined 590 basis points to 3.2% for the six months ended May 31, 2026 from 9.1% for the corresponding year-earlier period.

•Housing Gross Profits – Housing gross profits of $168.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026 were down 43% year over year, reflecting lower housing revenues and a 410 basis-point decrease in our housing gross profit margin to 15.2%. The decline in the housing gross profit margin primarily reflected the price reductions we implemented a year ago, higher relative land costs and reduced operating leverage. As a percentage of housing revenues, the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations, which is included in construction and land costs, was 1.7% for both the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025. Excluding the above-mentioned inventory-related charges, all of which were associated with housing operations, our adjusted housing gross profit margin of 15.7% for the 2026 second quarter decreased 400 basis points year over year.

For the six months ended May 31, 2026, our housing gross profits of $332.6 million decreased from $574.3 million for the year-earlier period due to lower housing revenues and a 440 basis-point decline in our housing gross profit margin. The housing gross profit margin decrease primarily reflected the same factors described above for the three months ended May 31, 2026. As a percentage of housing revenues, the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations was 1.7% for both the six months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025. Excluding the above-mentioned inventory-related charges, all of which were associated with housing operations, our adjusted housing gross profit margin of 15.6% for the six months ended May 31, 2026 decreased 440 basis points year over year.

The calculation of adjusted housing gross profit margin, which we believe provides a clearer measure of the performance of our business, is described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

•Land Sale Profits – Land sales generated nominal results for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 2026. There were no land sales during the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 2025.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Our equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was $.5 million for the three months ended February 28, 2026, compared to $2.4 million for the year-earlier period, mainly reflecting a decrease in the number of homes delivered by an unconsolidated joint venture in California. Further information regarding our investments in homebuilding unconsolidated joint ventures is provided in Note 9 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. 32

We incur interest principally from our borrowings to finance land acquisitions, land development, home construction and other operating and capital needs. All interest incurred during the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 was capitalized as the average amount of our inventory qualifying for interest capitalization was higher than our average debt level for each period. Accordingly, we had no interest expense for these periods. Further information regarding our interest incurred and capitalized is provided in Note 6 – Inventories in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Our equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was $1.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to $1.1 million for the year-earlier period. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, our equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was $1.8 million, compared to $3.5 million for the corresponding 2025 period, mainly due to a decrease in the number of homes delivered by an unconsolidated joint venture in California. Further information regarding our investments in homebuilding unconsolidated joint ventures is provided in Note 9 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

(a) Net order value represents potential future housing revenues associated with net orders generated during the period, as well as homebuyer selections of lot and product premiums and design choices and options for homes in backlog during the same period.

(b) Cancellation rate represents the total number of contracts for new homes cancelled during a period divided by the total (gross) orders for new homes generated during the same period.

Net Orders. Net orders for the 2026 ~~first~~second quarter ~~increased~~decreased 34% compared to the year-earlier quarter, ~~reflecting~~driven ~~growth~~by declines of 126% and 22% in our ~~West~~Southwest ~~Coast~~and Central homebuilding reporting ~~segment~~segments, ~~and 10% in our Southwest segment~~respectively, ~~partially~~partly offset by ~~declines~~growth of 69% ~~and 8%~~ in our ~~Southwest~~West Coast segment and ~~Central~~2% ~~segments,~~in ~~respectively~~our Southeast segment. The pace of monthly net orders per community was 34.50 in the 2026 ~~first~~second quarter, ~~nearly~~compared ~~even~~to ~~with 3~~4.65 for the corresponding 2025 quarter, asreflecting the ~~increase~~lower in net ~~orders~~order ~~was~~volume ~~more~~and ~~than~~our ~~offset by the impact of a~~ higher average community count.

Our cancellation rate as a percentage of gross orders for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 was 12%, compared to 16% for the year-earlier period.

In the 2026 first ~~quarter~~half, we ~~continued~~maintained the simplified sales approach we implemented more than a year ago. With this ~~strategy~~approach, we provide a straightforward, transparent base price with limited, if any, concessions or incentives, designed to offer customers a compelling value competitive with area resale home prices. ~~In addition~~Additionally, while selling through our existing inventory, we ~~emphasized~~continued to emphasize sales of our Built to Order homes, which are a key industry differentiator for us and typically generate higher gross margins than inventory homes. Our goal is to bring the mix of Built to Order homes delivered to within our historical range of 60% to 70%, compared to approximately 55% in 2025. ~~Supported by demand for personalized homes and a 22% year-over-year improvement in our build times, our mix of net orders in the quarter was predominantly Built to Order.~~

average selling price. Backlog value was down year over year in three of our homebuilding reporting segments, with decreases ranging from 11% in our Southeast segment to 27% in our Southwest segment, partially offset by a 10% increase in our West Coast segment. Based on our historical experience, a portion of the homes in backlog will not result in homes delivered due to cancellations. Our renewed focus on Built to Order contributed to sequential growth in our ending backlog for both the 2026 first and second quarters, with the number of homes in backlog at May 31, 2026 up 45% from November 30, 2025. Among other benefits, our larger backlog of Built to Order homes generally provides us with greater visibility into future deliveries and enhanced predictability of housing gross profit margins compared to inventory homes, as the selling price and cost to build are usually known prior to starting the home.

Community Count. We use the term “community count” to refer to the number of communities open for sale with at least five homes left to sell at the end of a reporting period. Our ending community count for the 2026 second quarter grew 11% and our average community count increased 9%, each as compared to the year-earlier quarter.

The composition of our homes delivered, net orders and backlog shifts with the product and geographic mix of our active communities and the corresponding average selling prices of the homes ordered and/or delivered at these communities in any particular period, changing as new communities open and existing communities wind down or sell out in the ordinary course. In addition, with our Built to Order business model, the selling prices of individual homes within a community may vary due to differing lot sizes and locations, home square footage, product premiums and the design choices and options buyers select. These intrinsic variations in our business limit the comparability of our homes delivered, net orders and backlog, as well as their corresponding values, between sequential and year-over-year periods, in addition to the effect of prevailing economic or housing market conditions in or across any particular periods.

Financial Results. Below is a discussion of the financial results for each of our homebuilding reporting segments. Further information regarding these segments, including their pretax income (loss), is included in Note 2 – Segment Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. The difference between each homebuilding reporting segment’s operating income (loss) and pretax income (loss) is generally due to the equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures and/or interest income and expense.

In addition to the results of our homebuilding reporting segments presented below, our consolidated homebuilding operating income includes the results of Corporate and other, a non-operating segment. Corporate and other had operating losses of $3336.8 million and $3640.54 million in the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, Corporate and other had an operating loss of $70.5 million, compared to $76.9 million for the corresponding year-earlier period.

The financial results of our homebuilding reporting segments for the three months and six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and 2025 were impacted to varying degrees by price reductions and other homebuyer concessions we extended to buyers in conjunction with our sales strategies, as well as product and geographic mix shifts of homes delivered.

This segment’s revenues for ~~each of~~ the three-month ~~months~~and six-month periods ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 consisted of housing revenues and nominal land sale revenues. For the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 2025, this segment’s revenues were generated solely from housing operations. Housing revenues for the three months and six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 declined from the corresponding year-earlier ~~period~~periods, reflecting decreases in both the number of homes delivered and their average selling price. Operating income for the three months and six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 declined year over year due to lower housing gross profits, partly offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income as a percentage of revenues for the 2026 ~~first~~second quarter decreased from the year-earlier quarter due to a ~~400~~430 basis-point decline in the housing gross profit margin to 14.40% and a ~~150~~190 basis-point increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues to 8.87%. ~~The~~For ~~year-over-year decrease in~~ the ~~housing~~six ~~gross~~months ~~profit~~ended ~~margin~~May 31, ~~was~~2026, ~~primarily~~operating ~~due~~income toas ~~price~~a ~~reductions,~~percentage ~~higher~~of ~~relative~~revenues ~~construction~~declined ~~and~~from ~~land~~the ~~costs,~~corresponding ~~product~~2025 ~~and geographic mix~~period, ~~and~~mainly ~~reduced~~reflecting ~~operating~~a ~~leverage.

The year-over-year decrease in the housing gross profit margin for the three months and six months ended May 31, 2026 was primarily due to price reductions, higher relative construction and land costs, increased inventory-related charges, product and geographic mix, and reduced operating leverage. For the three months ended May 31, 2026, inventory-related charges associated with housing operations were $4.3 million, compared to $1.2 million for the year-earlier period. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, inventory-related charges associated with housing operations were $5.0 million, compared to $1.8 million for the year-earlier period. The year-over-year increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues for the three months and six months ended May 31, 2026 was mainly due to higher marketing and other expenses associated with our expanded community count in this segment as well as a decrease in operating leverage from lower housing revenues. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, these impacts were partly offset by insurance recoveries.

3236

The year-over-year decrease in the housing gross profit margin for the three months and six months ended May 31, 2026 primarily reflected higher relative land costs and decreased operating leverage on lower housing revenues, partly offset by lower construction costs. There were $.4 million of inventory-related charges associated with housing operations for the three months and six months ended May 31, 2026, compared to $.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of such charges for the corresponding year-earlier periods. The year-over-year increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues for the three months and six months ended May 31, 2026 was mainly due to a decrease in operating leverage from lower housing revenues.

This segment’s revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2026 were comprised of housing revenues and nominal land sale revenues. For the three months ended February 28, 2025, this segment’s revenues were generated solely from housing operations. Housing revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2026 rose from the year-earlier period to $218.4 million due to an increase in the number of homes delivered, partly offset by a decrease in their average selling price. Operating income for the three months ended February 28, 2026 was down year over year, mainly reflecting lower housing gross profits. As a percentage of revenues, operating income for the 2026 first quarter declined from the year-earlier quarter due to a 400 basis-point decrease in the housing gross profit margin to 13.7%, partly offset by a 140 basis-point improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues to 9.7%. The year-over-year decrease in the housing gross profit margin for the three months ended February 28, 2026 mainly reflected price reductions, higher construction and land costs, product and geographic mix, and an increase in inventory-related charges, partly offset by an increase in operating leverage. Inventory-related charges associated with housing operations for the three months ended February 28, 2026 were $.9 million, compared to $.2 million for the year-earlier quarter.

For the six months ended May 31, 2026, this segment’s revenues were comprised of housing revenues and nominal land sale revenues. Housing revenues for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 ~~was~~were ~~mainly~~down year over year due to decreases in both the number of homes delivered and their average selling price. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, housing revenues declined from the corresponding year-earlier period to $441.6 million, reflecting a decrease in the average selling price of homes delivered, partly offset by an increase in the number of homes delivered. Operating income for the three months and six months ended May 31, 2026 declined from the corresponding year-earlier periods as a result of lower housing gross profits, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. As a percentage of revenues, operating ~~leverage~~income for the 2026 second quarter declined from ~~higher~~the year-earlier quarter primarily due to a 230 basis-point decrease in the housing gross profit margin to 15.0%, partly offset by a 20 basis-point improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues to 9. 6%. Operating income as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended May 31, 2026 declined from the year-earlier period due to a 320 basis-point decrease in the housing gross profit margin to 14.3%, partly offset by a 70 basis-point improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues to 9.7%.

The year-over-year decrease in the housing gross profit margin for the three months and six months ended May 31, 2026 mainly reflected price reductions, higher construction and land costs, and product and geographic mix. Inventory-related charges associated with housing operations for the three months ended May 31, 2026 were $.5 million, compared to $1.7 million for the year-earlier quarter. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, inventory-related charges associated with housing operations were $1.3 million, compared to $1.9 million for the corresponding 2025 period. The year-over-year improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues for both the three months and six months ended May 31, 2026 was mainly due to a decrease in sales commissions.

Revenues. Financial services revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2026 grew 5% from the corresponding year-earlier period, reflecting higher insurance commission revenues, partly offset by lower title services revenues. The year-over-year increase in insurance commission revenues was primarily due to higher estimated future renewal commissions. Title services revenues decreased mainly due to fewer homes delivered in the 2026 period. 38

~~Pretax income~~Revenues. Financial services ~~pretax~~revenues ~~income~~ for the three-month ~~months~~and six-month periods ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 ~~decreased~~grew 269% and 7%, respectively, from the corresponding year-earlier ~~period~~periods, ~~primarily~~reflecting ~~due~~higher toinsurance ~~lower~~commission ~~equity~~revenues, inpartly ~~income~~offset ofby ~~our~~lower ~~unconsolidated~~title ~~joint~~services ~~venture, KBHS~~revenues.

Pretax income. Financial services pretax income for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 2026 decreased 18% and 22%, respectively, from the corresponding year-earlier periods, primarily due to lower equity in income of our unconsolidated joint venture, KBHS. For the 2026 second quarter, our equity in income of KBHS declined 42% year over year, reflecting a decrease in KBHS’ income mainly due to fewer loans originated as a result of both the lower number of homes we delivered and a lower percentage of our homebuyers using KBHS. The impact of the lower loan volume on KBHS’ income was partially offset by a $.9 million gain in the fair value of IRLCs in the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to a $2.1 million loss for the year‑earlier period.

For the six months ended May 31, 2026, our equity in income of KBHS decreased 46% from the corresponding year-earlier period, due to a decline in KBHS’ income that primarily reflected the same factors described above for the three months ended May 31, 2026. The impact of the lower loan volume for the six months ended May 31, 2026 was partly offset by a $1.0 million gain in the fair value of IRLCs, compared to a $3.6 million loss in the corresponding period of 2025.

Further information regarding our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, including KBHS, is provided in Note 9 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense and effective tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended February 28,
	Three Months Ended May 31,						Six Months Ended May 31,

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 ~~decreased~~increased from the year-earlier period, primarily due to the ~~higher~~lower pretax income we generated for the 2026 period, which heightened the relative impact of ~~excess~~non-deductible executive compensation expense.

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law. Among its provisions is the repeal of Section 45L tax credits for new energy-efficient homes delivered after June 30, 2026. As a result, our income tax expense and effective tax rate take into account the anticipated lower Section 45L benefit for the homes delivered after the effective date. The other tax-related provisions of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Further information regarding our income taxes is provided in Note 13 – Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This report contains information about our adjusted housing gross profit margin, which is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is relevant and useful to investors in understanding our operations, and may be helpful in comparing us with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. However, because it is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be completely comparable to other companies in the homebuilding industry and, thus, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance and/or financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.

Adjusted Housing Gross Profit Margin. The following table reconciles our housing gross profit margin calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of our adjusted housing gross profit margin (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended February 28,

Adjusted housing gross profit margin as a percentage of housing revenues	15.57		%	2019.37		%	15.6		%	20.0		%

(a) Represents inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges associated with housing operations.

Adjusted housing gross profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we calculate by dividing housing revenues less housing construction and land costs excluding housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges (as applicable) recorded during a given period, by housing revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is housing gross profit margin. We believe adjusted housing gross profit margin is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in evaluating our performance as it measures the gross profits we generated specifically on the homes delivered during a given period. This non-GAAP financial measure isolates the impact that the housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges have on housing gross profit margins, and allows investors to make comparisons with our competitors that adjust housing gross profit margins in a similar manner. We also believe investors will find adjusted housing gross profit margin relevant and useful because it represents a profitability measure that may be compared to a prior period without regard to variability of housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges. This financial measure assists us in making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix, product pricing and construction pace.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview. We have funded our homebuilding and financial services activities over the last several years with:

•internally generated cash flows;

•public issuances of debt securities;

•borrowings under the Credit Facility;

•the Term Loan;

•land option contracts and other similar contracts and seller notes;

•public issuances of our common stock; and

•letters of credit and performance bonds.

We manage our use of cash in the operation of our business to support the execution of our primary strategic goals. Over the past several years, we have primarily used cash for:

•land acquisitions and land development;

•home construction;

•operating expenses;

•principal and interest payments on notes payable;

•repayments of borrowings under the Credit Facility;

•dividends paid to stockholders; and

•repurchases of our common stock.

We ended the 2026 ~~first~~second quarter with total liquidity of ~~approximately~~ $1.2012 billion, including cash and cash equivalents and $~~998~~923.4 million of available capacity under the Credit Facility, with $~~200~~275.0 million of cash borrowings outstanding. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $~~200~~199.58 million at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, compared to $228.6 million at November 30, 2025. Cash equivalents included in the total were $4563.03 million at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and $152.6 million at November 30, 2025, and were mainly invested in interest-bearing bank deposit accounts and money market funds. Based on our financial position as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, and our business forecast as discussed below under “Outlook,” we have no material concerns related to our liquidity. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our anticipated cash flows from operations and amounts available under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating and land-related investment needs for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Requirements. In the three months ended February 28, 2026, there have been no significant changes in our cash requirements from those reported in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2025.40

~~Investments~~existing incash ~~Land~~ and ~~Land~~cash ~~Development. Our investments in land and land development for the 2026 first quarter totaled $567.2 million~~equivalents, ~~a 38% decrease compared to the year-earlier period; the prior period included~~ our ~~purchase~~anticipated ofcash ~~two~~flows ~~sizable~~from ~~land~~operations ~~parcels~~and inamounts ~~our~~available ~~Southwest~~under ~~homebuilding reporting segment.

While we made investments in land~~ and land-related ~~development~~investment inneeds ~~each~~for ofat ~~our~~least ~~homebuilding reporting segments during~~ the ~~three~~next ~~months~~12 ~~ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, approximately 44% and 47%, respectively, of these investments for each period were made in our West Coast homebuilding reporting segment~~months.

Cash Requirements. In the six months ended May 31, 2026, there have been no significant changes in our cash requirements from those reported in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2025.

Investments in Land and Land Development. Our investments in land and land development for the six months ended May 31, 2026 totaled $1.06 billion, a 26% decrease compared to the year-earlier period; the prior period included our purchase of two sizable land parcels in our Southwest homebuilding reporting segment. In the six months ended May 31, 2026, land acquisition expenditures, which are included in our investments in land and land development, decreased to $353.1 million, or 33% of our total investments, compared to $661.9 million, or 46% of our total investments, in the corresponding period of 2025. While land and land development investments were made in all of our homebuilding reporting segments during the six months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, our West Coast segment comprised 44% and 49%, respectively, of our total investments.

For the remainder of 2026, we intend to continue to invest in and develop land positions within attractive submarkets and selectively acquire or control additional land that meets our investment standards, depending significantly on market conditions and available opportunities that meet our investment return standards.

The carrying value of lots we owned or controlled under land option contracts and other similar contracts at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 increased slightly from November 30, 2025, mainly due to land and land development investments during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026. The number of lots we owned or controlled as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 decreased 29% from November 30, 2025, largely reflecting homes delivered and our strategic abandonment of 37,~~423~~301 previously controlled lots, partly offset by newly optioned lots during the period. The number of lots in inventory as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 included 76,~~787~~319 lots under contract where the associated deposits were refundable at our discretion, compared to 7,715 of such lots at November 30, 2025. Our lots controlled under land option contracts and other similar contracts as a percentage of total lots was 38% at May 31, 2026, compared to 43% at November 30, 2025. Generally, this percentage fluctuates with our decisions to control (or abandon) lots under land option contracts and other similar contracts or to purchase (or sell owned) lots based on available opportunities and our investment return standards.

36Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts. As discussed in Note 8 – Variable Interest Entities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, our land option contracts and other similar contracts generally do not contain provisions requiring our specific performance. Our decision to exercise a particular land option contract or other similar contract depends on the results of our due diligence reviews and ongoing market and project feasibility analysis that we conduct after entering into such a contract. In some cases, our decision to exercise a land option contract or other similar contract may be conditioned on the land seller obtaining necessary entitlements, such as zoning rights and environmental and development approvals, and/or physically developing the underlying land by a pre-determined date. We typically have the ability not to exercise our rights to the underlying land for any reason and, if applicable, forfeit our deposits without further penalty or obligation to the sellers. If we were to acquire all the land we had under land option contracts and other similar contracts at May 31, 2026, we estimate the remaining purchase price to be paid would be as follows: 2026 – $652.1 million; 2027 – $665.5 million; 2028 – $197.1 million; 2029 – $78.0 million; 2030 – $0; and thereafter – $0.

~~November 30, 2025. Our lots controlled under land option contracts and other similar contracts as a percentage of total lots was~~ 41% at February 28, 2026, compared to 43% at November 30, 2025. Generally, this percentage fluctuates with our decisions to control (or abandon) lots under land option contracts and other similar contracts or to purchase (or sell owned) lots based on available opportunities and our investment return standards.

The ratio of debt to capital is calculated by dividing notes payable by capital (notes payable plus stockholders’ equity).

LOC Facility. We maintain the LOC Facility to obtain letters of credit from time to time in the ordinary course of operating our business. Under the LOC Facility, which expires on February 13, 2028, we may issue up to $100.0 million of letters of credit. As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025, we had letters of credit outstanding under the LOC Facility of $5755.34 million and $68.2 million, respectively.

Performance Bonds. As discussed in Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, we had $1.3638 billion and $1.37 billion of performance bonds outstanding at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 and November 30, 2025, respectively.

Credit Facility. As of February 28, 2026, we had $200.0 million of cash borrowings and $1.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is further described in Note 14 – Notes Payable in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, we are required, among other things, to maintain compliance with various covenants, including financial covenants regarding our consolidated tangible net worth, Leverage Ratio, and either an Interest Coverage Ratio or minimum liquidity level, each as defined therein. Our compliance with these financial covenants is measured by calculations and metrics that are specifically defined or described by the terms of the Credit Facility and the Term Loan and can differ in certain respects from comparable GAAP or other commonly used terms. The financial covenant requirements under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan are set forth below:

•Consolidated tangible net worth – We must maintain a consolidated tangible net worth at the end of any fiscal quarter greater than or equal to the sum of (a) $2.70 billion, plus (b) an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate of the cumulative consolidated net income for each fiscal quarter commencing after August 31, 2025 and ending as of the last day of such fiscal quarter (though there is no reduction if there is a consolidated net loss in any fiscal quarter), plus (c) an amount equal to 50% of the cumulative net proceeds we receive from the issuance of our capital stock after August 31, 2025.

•Leverage Ratio – We must also maintain a Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to .60 at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Leverage Ratio is calculated as the ratio of our consolidated total indebtedness to the sum of consolidated total indebtedness and consolidated tangible net worth, all as defined under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan.

•Interest Coverage Ratio or liquidity – We are also required to maintain either (a) an Interest Coverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 1.50 at the end of each fiscal quarter; or (b) a minimum level of liquidity, but not both. The Interest Coverage Ratio is the ratio of our consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest incurred, each as defined under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, in each case for the previous 12 months. Our minimum liquidity is required to be greater than or equal to consolidated interest incurred, as defined under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, for the four most recently ended fiscal quarters in the aggregate.

In addition, under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, our equity investments in joint ventures and non-guarantor subsidiaries and other unconsolidated entities as of the end of each fiscal quarter cannot exceed the sum of (a) $104.8 million and (b) 20% of consolidated tangible net worth. Further, for so long as we do not hold an investment grade rating, as defined under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, the Credit Facility and the Term Loan do not permit our borrowing base indebtedness, which, subject to certain exceptions, is the aggregate principal amount of our and certain of our subsidiaries’ outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and non-collateralized financial letters of credit, to be greater than our borrowing base (a measure relating to our inventory and unrestricted cash assets).

The covenants and other requirements under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan represent the most restrictive covenants that we are subject to with respect to our notes payable. The following table summarizes the financial covenants and other requirements under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, and our actual levels or ratios (as applicable) with respect to those covenants and other requirements, in each case as of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026:

(a) Under the terms of the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, we are required to maintain either a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio or a minimum level of liquidity.

The indenture governing our senior notes does not contain any financial covenants. Subject to specified exceptions, the indenture contains certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur secured indebtedness, or engage in sale-leaseback transactions involving property above a certain specified value. In addition, the indenture contains certain limitations related to mergers, consolidations, and sales of assets.

As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, we were in compliance with the applicable terms of all of our covenants and other requirements under the Credit Facility, the Term Loan, the senior notes, the indenture, the LOC Facility and the mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans. Our ability to access the Credit Facility for cash borrowings and letters of credit and our ability to secure future debt financing depend, in part, on our ability to remain in such compliance. Our ability to access the Credit Facility’s full borrowing capacity, as well as the LOC Facility’s full issuance capacity, also depends on the ability and willingness of the applicable lenders and financial institutions, including any substitute or additional lenders and financial institutions, to meet their commitments to fund loans, extend credit or provide payment guarantees to or for us under those instruments.

land sellers and other loans. Our ability to access the Credit Facility for cash borrowings and letters of credit and our ability to secure future debt financing depend, in part, on our ability to remain in such compliance. Our ability to access the Credit Facility’s full borrowing capacity, as well as the LOC Facility’s full issuance capacity, also depends on the ability and willingness of the applicable lenders and financial institutions, including any substitute or additional lenders and financial institutions, to meet their commitments to fund loans, extend credit or provide payment guarantees to or for us under those instruments.

There are no agreements that restrict our payment of dividends other than the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, which would restrict our payment of certain dividends, such as cash dividends on our common stock, if a default under the Credit Facility or the Term Loan exists at the time of any such payment, or if any such payment would result in such a default (other than dividends paid within 60 days after declaration, if there was no default at the time of declaration).

Depending on available terms, we finance certain land acquisitions with purchase-money financing from land sellers or with other forms of financing from third parties. At ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, we had outstanding mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans payable in connection with such financing of $2.86 million, secured primarily by the underlying property, which had an aggregate carrying value of $20.78 million.

Senior Unsecured Term Loan. We have a $360.0 million Term Loan with the lenders party thereto that will mature on November 12, 2029, or earlier if we secure borrowings under the Credit Facility without similarly securing the Term Loan (subject to certain exceptions). The Term Loan is further described in Note 14 – Notes Payable in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. As discussed in Note 9 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, we have investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in various markets where our homebuilding operations are located. As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures had borrowings outstanding under a term loan with a third-party lender and secured by the underlying property and related project assets. None of our other homebuilding unconsolidated joint ventures had outstanding debt at ~~February~~May 2831, 2026.

Operating Activities. Generally, our net operating cash flows fluctuate mainly based on changes in our inventories and our profitability. Our net cash used by operating activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 mainly reflected a net decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $~~148~~93.13 million, ~~and~~ a net increase in inventories of $3873.06 million, ~~partly~~and ~~offset~~a by net ~~income~~increase in receivables of $3325.41 million, ~~and~~partly aoffset by net ~~decrease~~income ~~in receivables~~ of $260.8 million.

Investing Activities. In the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, ~~our~~ net cash used in investing activities consisted of $1322.29 million for net purchases of property and equipment and $48.79 million of contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by a return of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.6 million. In the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2025, the net cash used in investing activities included $1122.27 million for net purchases of property and equipment, partly offset by a $2.63 million return of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Financing Activities. In the ~~three~~six months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, cash was provided by $~~200~~275.0 million of net borrowings under the Credit Facility and $.56 million of issuances of common stock under employee stock plans.

39Dividends. In the 2026 and 2025 second quarters, our board of directors declared, and we paid, a quarterly cash dividend of $.25 per share. Quarterly dividends declared and paid during each of the six-month periods ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $.50 per share. The declaration and payment of future cash dividends on our common stock, whether at current levels or at all, are at the discretion of our board of directors, and depend upon, among other things, our expected future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, access to external financing, debt structure and any adjustments thereto, operational and financial investment strategy and general financial condition, as well as general business conditions.

Share Repurchase Program. On October 9, 2025, our board of directors authorized us to repurchase up to $1.00 billion of our outstanding common stock. As of November 30, 2025, there was $900.0 million of remaining availability under this share repurchase authorization. In the three months ended February 28, 2026, we repurchased 843,339 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $50.0 million. Repurchases under the authorization may occur periodically through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the timing and amount at management’s discretion and dependent on market, business and other conditions. This share repurchase authorization will continue in effect until fully used or earlier terminated or suspended by our board of directors, and does not obligate us to purchase any shares. As of February 28, 2026, there was $850.0 million of remaining availability under this share repurchase authorization. 44

terminated or suspended by our board of directors, and does not obligate us to purchase any shares. As of May 31, 2026, there was $775.0 million of remaining availability under this share repurchase authorization.

As stated above, we believe we have adequate capital resources and sufficient access to external financing sources to satisfy our current and reasonably anticipated requirements for funds to conduct our operations and meet other needs in the ordinary course of our business. For the remainder of 2026, we expect to use or redeploy our cash resources or cash borrowings under the Credit Facility to support our business within the context of prevailing market conditions. During this time, we may also engage in capital markets, bank loan, project debt or other financial transactions, including the repurchase of debt or equity securities or potential new issuances of debt or equity securities to support our business needs. The amounts involved in these transactions, if any, may be material. In addition, as necessary or desirable, we may adjust or amend the terms of and/or expand the capacity of the Credit Facility or the LOC Facility, or enter into additional letter of credit facilities, or other similar facility arrangements, in each case with the same or other financial institutions, or allow any such facilities or loans to mature or expire. Our ability to engage in such transactions may be constrained by volatile or tight economic, capital, credit and/or financial market conditions or other factors, including those described below under “Outlook,” and/or our liquidity, leverage and net worth, and we can provide no assurance as to successfully completing, the costs of, or the operational limitations arising from any one or series of such transactions.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

As of ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, we had $1.34 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding senior notes, $~~200~~275.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and $360.0 million in aggregate principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan. Our obligations to pay principal and interest on the senior notes and borrowings, if any, under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by our Guarantor Subsidiaries. Our other subsidiaries, including all of our subsidiaries associated with our financial services operations, do not guarantee any such indebtedness (collectively, “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”), although we may cause a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary to become a Guarantor Subsidiary if we believe it to be in our or the relevant subsidiary’s best interest. See Note 14 – Notes Payable in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information regarding the terms of our senior notes, the Credit Facility and the Term Loan.

The guarantees are full and unconditional, and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by us. The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and guarantees of such Guarantor Subsidiaries. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiaries to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the senior notes and the terms of the Credit Facility and the Term Loan, if any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries ceases to be a “significant subsidiary” as defined by Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X using a 5% rather than a 10% threshold (provided that the assets of our Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries do not in the aggregate exceed 10% of an adjusted measure of our consolidated total assets), it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from its guaranty of the senior notes, the Credit Facility and the Term Loan so long as all guarantees by such Guarantor Subsidiary of any other of our or our subsidiaries’ indebtedness are terminated at or prior to the time of such release.

The following tables present summarized financial information for KB Home and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis, excluding unconsolidated joint ventures and after the elimination of (a) intercompany transactions and balances between KB Home and the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (b) equity in earnings from and investments in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. See Note 9 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information regarding our unconsolidated joint ventures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the use of judgment in the application of accounting policies and estimates of uncertain matters. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026 from those disclosed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Outlook

We continue to view the long‑term outlook for the housing market favorably, supported by positive demographic trends and ~~the~~an ongoing structural undersupply of homes. However, we expect the challenging market conditions we experienced in the 2026 ~~first~~second quarter – marked by persistent affordability pressures, ~~cautious~~elevated ~~buyer~~mortgage ~~sentiment~~interest rates, ~~heightened macroeconomic uncertainties~~ and ~~geopolitical~~cautious ~~tensions~~buyer ~~softening demand – to continue in the near term. The conflict in the Middle East~~sentiment, which ~~began~~softened onfurther during the ~~last~~period ~~day~~due ofto ~~our~~rising ~~fiscal quarter~~inflation, ~~has~~heightened ~~introduced~~macroeconomic ~~additional~~uncertainties ~~uncertainty~~and ~~for~~geopolitical ~~already wary consumers~~tensions, ~~with~~including the ~~related~~military ~~capital~~conflict ~~and~~in ~~credit~~the ~~market~~Middle ~~volatility~~East ~~along~~– ~~with rising fuel prices and mortgage interest rates weighing on economic sentiment and negatively affecting affordability. We began~~ to ~~experience~~continue ~~these impacts~~ in ~~our business in March with softer‑than‑expected net order activity in~~ the ~~month~~near term. To the extent ~~the~~these ~~conflict and the associated~~ trends continue or worsen, net order activity could remain subdued, including net orders for our Built to Order homes.

~~Within~~As ~~this~~we ~~operating~~move ~~environment~~into the 2026 second half, we plan to maintain our simplified sales approach we implemented ~~one~~more than a year ago. With this ~~strategy~~approach, we provide a straightforward, transparent base price with limited, if any, concessions or incentives, designed to offer customers a compelling value competitive with area resale home prices. ~~We expect this approach~~Additionally, ~~together with our current community count, to support steady buyer activity, subject to typical seasonal patterns and headwinds associated with the conflict in the Middle East. In addition,~~ while selling through our existing inventory, we will continue to emphasize sales of our Built to Order homes, with the goal of bringing the ~~Built to Order~~ mix ~~of homes delivered~~ closer to our historical average of 60% to 70%~~. We~~ ~~were~~of ~~encouraged~~homes ~~that~~delivered. Our ~~our~~ mix of net orders in both the 2026 first ~~quarter~~and second quarters was predominantly Built to Order, ~~which~~momentum that we believe will enable us to accomplish our homes delivered mix goal in the 2026 second half and beyond.

41Although the number of homes in our backlog at May 31, 2026 was down 5% year over year, our renewed focus on Built to Order contributed to sequential growth in our ending backlog for both the 2026 first and second quarters, with the number of homes in backlog at May 31, 2026 up 45% from November 30, 2025. We expect our year-over-year ending backlog comparison to turn positive in the 2026 third quarter. Among other benefits, a larger backlog of Built to Order homes generally provides us greater visibility into future deliveries and higher gross margins than we typically generate on inventory sales. We also intend to continue focusing on improving our build times and tightly managing our direct construction costs.

~~supports~~While our ~~belief~~strategic weshift ~~will~~toward ~~achieve~~a ~~70%~~higher mix of Built to Order ~~deliveries~~homes inand ~~the~~our ~~2026~~intentional ~~second~~moderation ~~half. Net~~of ~~orders~~inventory ~~for~~starts ~~the~~contributed ~~quarter increased 3% year over year, contributing~~ to aan ~~sequential~~anticipated ~~15%~~temporary ~~increase~~trough in ~~our~~the ~~backlog~~number ~~from~~of ~~November 30,~~homes ~~2025,~~delivered ~~despite~~during ~~a 19% year‑over‑year decline.

We also intend~~ to ~~continue~~produce ~~focusing~~sequential onimprovement ~~improving~~in our ~~build~~homes ~~times~~delivered and ~~tightly managing our direct construction costs.~~

While our shift toward Built to Order homes will contribute to a temporary trough in the number of homes delivered during the 2026 first half, as the higher level of Built to Order homes we are selling now is expected to benefit third‑ and fourth‑quarter deliveries, and we have intentionally slowed our inventory starts, it is a purposeful reset that we believe positions us to be a stronger company in the second half of the year and beyond. We also anticipate a more favorable regional mix of homes delivered during the 2026 second half, particularly a greater proportion from our Northern California operations, which have historically generated higher average selling prices and higher margins. In addition, we believe that both our housing gross profit margin and our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues will benefit in the 2026 second half from an expected increase in operating leverage. 46

•We expect our effective tax rate will be in the range of 22.0% to 24.0%, compared to 22.6% for 2025.

In addition to factors discussed elsewhere in this report, our future performance and the strategies we implement (and adjust or refine as necessary or appropriate) will depend significantly on economic, employment, homebuilding industry and capital,

credit and financial market conditions, as well as a fairly stable and constructive political and regulatory environment, particularly in regard to housing and mortgage loan financing policies. This includes U.S. trade policy and any tariffs, and other countries’ countervailing measures, that remain in effect on raw building materials such as steel, lumber, drywall and concrete, and/or finished products. Though certain tariffs and countervailing measures instituted in 2025 have affected pricing in adjacent sectors, we have not experienced significant cost increases or raw material/finished product availability constraints to date. However, if U.S. or foreign governments take actions that cause tariff-related cost or availability pressures to escalate or expand, we could experience higher construction costs and/or supply chain disruptions that would affect our business and consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

We also believe the ongoing significant volatility in global energy, credit and capital markets, international shipping instability, and negative consumer confidence impacts from the conflict in the Middle East, particularly if it intensifies or is prolonged, could cause supply chain disruptions, increase our land development and input costs – such as for lumber and oil‑ and petroleum‑based building products – or reduce our revenues or housing gross profit margins beyond our ability to offset through pricing or cost‑management initiatives. Additionally, while the Federal Reserve reduced interest rates in 2025 and may lower rates further in 2026 or later periods, there is no assurance it will do so, or that any reduction(s), or other monetary policy changes, will meaningfully lower mortgage interest rates or positively affect demand or our business, results of operations or consolidated financial statements.

The potential extent and effect of these and other factors on our business is highly uncertain, unpredictable and outside our control, and our past performance, including in the three months ended ~~February~~May 2831, 2026, should not be considered indicative of our future results on any metric or set of metrics, including, but not limited to, our net orders, backlog, revenues, margins and returns.

Forward-Looking Statements

Investors are cautioned that certain statements contained in this report, as well as some statements by us in periodic press releases and other public disclosures and some oral statements by us to securities analysts, stockholders and others during presentations, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “hope,” and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that we may make or provide concerning future financial or operating performance (including without limitation future revenues, community count, homes delivered, net orders, selling prices, sales pace per new community, expenses, expense ratios, housing gross profits, housing gross profit margins, earnings or earnings per share, or growth or growth rates), future market conditions, future interest rates, and other economic conditions, ongoing business strategies or prospects, future dividends and changes in dividend levels, the value of our backlog (including amounts that we expect to realize upon delivery of homes included in our backlog and the timing of those deliveries), the value of our net orders, potential future asset acquisitions and the impact of completed acquisitions, future share issuances or repurchases, future debt issuances, repurchases or redemptions and other possible future actions are also forward-looking statements as defined by the Act. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about our operations, economic and market factors, and the homebuilding industry, among other things. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we have no specific policy or intention to update these statements. If we update or revise any such statement(s), no assumption should be made that we will further update or revise that statement(s) or update or revise any other such statement(s). In addition, forward-looking and other statements in this report and in other public or oral disclosures that express or contain opinions, views or assumptions about market or economic conditions; the success, performance, effectiveness and/or relative positioning of our strategies, initiatives or operational activities; and other matters, may be based in whole or in part on general observations or opinions of our management, limited or anecdotal evidence and/or business or industry experience without in-depth or any particular empirical investigation, inquiry or analysis and are not intended, and do not express, factual assertions about past events.
