Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than historical facts, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “seek,” “continue,” or other similar words.

Any such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate, and beliefs of, and assumptions made by, our management and involve uncertainties that could significantly affect our financial results. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our future financial performance, strategy, expansion plans, future operations, future operating results, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated, including, without limitation:

•the possibility that our previously-announced merger with Stanley Martin Homes, LLC, which we refer to as the Merger, might not be completed within the expected timeframe or at all;

•disruptions associated with the announcement and pendency of the Merger, including the interim operating covenants applicable to us;

•the fact that the consideration payable to our stockholders in connection with the Merger will not be adjusted if the value of our business or assets changes before the Merger closes and our inability to pursue alternatives to the Merger;

Risk Factor Summary

The following is a summary of the principal risks that may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The following should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of the risk factors we face, which are set forth in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this report.

Risks Related to the Merger

•The Per Share Amount will not be adjusted in the event of any change in the value of UHG or UHG’s common stock.

•Completion of the Merger is subject to many conditions and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will not be completed, which could result in the requirement that UHG pay a termination payment to the Parent.

•The Merger may not be completed within the intended timeframe, or at all, and the failure to complete the Merger could adversely affect UHG’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and the market price of UHG’s Class A common stock.

•Recent announcements regarding the results of the review of strategic alternatives and the resignations or planned resignations of members of UHG’s board of directors and resulting uncertainties regarding UHG’s ongoing governance have caused operational difficulties and disruptions, which are likely to continue and, if the Merger is not consummated, increase.

•The pendency of the Merger, including as a result of the restrictions on the operation of UHG’s business during the period between signing the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Merger, could adversely affect UHG’s business and operations.

•UHG has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, substantial expenses related to the Merger.

•Litigation challenging the Merger may increase transaction costs and prevent the Merger from becoming effective or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.

Risks Related to UHG’s Business

•UHG’s inability to successfully identify, secure and control an adequate inventory of lots at reasonable prices could adversely impact UHG’s operations.

•If UHG is unable to develop its communities successfully or within expected time frames, UHG’s results of operations could be adversely affected.

•UHG’s geographic concentration could materially and adversely affect its business or financial results if the homebuilding industry in its current markets should decline.

•UHG’s business and financial results could be adversely affected by significant inflation and higher interest rates, or by a period of deflation.

•Because most of UHG’s customers finance the purchase of their homes, the terms and availability of mortgage financing can affect the demand for and the ability to complete the purchase of a home, which could materially and adversely affect UHG.

•The risks associated with UHG’s inventories could adversely affect its business or financial results.

•Increases in UHG’s home cancellation rate could have a negative impact on its home sales revenue and gross profit.

•UHG’s strategic and operational initiatives, including those aimed at increasing profitability and driving returns, are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and UHG may not be able to implement the initiatives successfully.

•Failure to find suitable subcontractors may have a material adverse effect on UHG’s standards of service.

•UHG may suffer uninsured losses or suffer material losses in excess of insurance limits adversely affecting its business or financial results.

•UHG is subject to litigation and other legal proceedings that could harm its business if an unfavorable ruling were to occur.

•UHG may not be able to compete effectively against competitors in the homebuilding industry.

Risks Related to the Homebuilding Industry

•The homebuilding industry is cyclical and affected by changes in general economic, real estate or other conditions that could adversely affect UHG’s business or financial results.

•Changes in U.S. trade policies and retaliatory responses from other countries may significantly increase the costs or limit supplies of building materials and products used in UHG’s homes, and UHG may not be able to raise home prices sufficiently to offset increased costs.

•Homebuilding is subject to home warranty and construction defect claims in the ordinary course of business that can be significant, and reliance on subcontractors exposes builders such as UHG to regulatory risks that could adversely affect business or financial results.

Table of Contents

•Supply shortages and other risks related to acquiring lots, building materials and skilled labor could increase UHG’s costs and delay deliveries causing an adverse effect on UHG’s business or financial results.

•Governmental regulations and environmental matters could increase the cost and limit the availability of UHG’s homebuilding projects and adversely affect its business or financial results.

•Natural disasters, severe weather and adverse geologic conditions may increase costs, cause project delays and reduce consumer demand for housing, all of which could materially and adversely affect UHG.

Risks Related to UHG’s Financing and Indebtedness

•UHG has significant amounts of debt and may incur additional debt. Incurrence of additional debt or a default under any of UHG’s loan agreements could affect UHG’s financial health and its ability to raise additional capital to fund its operations or potential acquisitions.

•Failure to further extend the Wells Fargo Facility beyond 2027 could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s ability to meet the financing requirements of its business.

•UHG’s financing arrangements contain, and UHG’s future financing arrangements will likely contain, restrictive covenants.

•UHG may be unable to obtain additional financing to fund its operations and growth.

Risks Related to UHG’s Organization and Structure

•The dual class structure of UHG’s common stock has the effect of concentrating voting power with UHG’s Executive Chairman, which may effectively eliminate the ability of holders of UHG’s Class A common stock to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

•UHG is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, may qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If UHG relies on these exemptions, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

•UHG’s corporate organizational documents and provisions of state law to which it is subject contain certain provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, make more difficult, or prevent an attempted acquisition that stockholders may favor or an attempted replacement of the Board of Directors or management.

•Anti-takeover provisions contained in UHG’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for UHG’s common stock.

Risks Related to Ownership of UHG’s Securities

•UHG may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock (including upon the exercise of warrants), which would dilute the interest of UHG’s stockholders and may present other risks.

•UHG is an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to such companies, its securities may be less attractive to investors.

•If UHG identifies a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, or if UHG fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls, UHG may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence and, as a result, the value of the Class A common stock.

•The trading price of UHG’s securities may be volatile.

PART I

Item 1. Business

Unless the context otherwise requires, for purposes of this section, the terms “we,” “us,” “the Company” or “UHG” refer to United Homes Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Overview

UHG designs, builds and sells homes in high growth markets, including South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. UHG employs a land-light operating strategy, with a focus on the design, construction and sale of entry-level, first, second and third move-up single-family houses. UHG principally builds detached single-family houses, and, to a lesser extent, attached single-family houses, including duplex houses and town houses.

As UHG reviews potential geographic markets into which it could expand its homebuilding business it intends to focus on selecting markets with positive population and employment growth trends, favorable migration patterns, attractive housing affordability, low state and local income taxes, and desirable lifestyle and weather characteristics.

UHG is currently organized into three segments:

•GSH South Carolina - This segment represents the Company’s homebuilding operations in South Carolina and a small amount of operations in Georgia. The main products for GSH South Carolina include entry-level and first-move-up homes, catering to a wide range of buyers transitioning into homeownership or seeking to upgrade from their initial purchase. South Carolina operations span the Upstate, Midlands, and Coastal regions, with a smaller presence in Georgia.

•Rosewood - This segment consists of UHG’s operations focused on delivering second and third move-up homes in the South Carolina market. These homes cater to buyers seeking more luxurious and customized living spaces, and typically feature larger floor plans, high-end finishes, and premium amenities.

•Other - This segment includes the Company’s homebuilding operations in Raleigh, NC, and mortgage operations conducted through a mortgage banking joint venture, Homeowners Mortgage, LLC (“Homeowners Mortgage”).

See Note 3 - Segment Reporting of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Pursuant to the Company’s land-light business model, finished lots are typically purchased through lot option contracts from third party and related party land developers or land bank partners. This lot acquisition strategy reduces up-front capital requirements and generally provides for “just-in-time” lot delivery, which closely aligns with home starts and sales pace. This lot acquisition strategy reduces operating and financial risk relative to other homebuilders that own a higher percentage of their land supply on balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, 96% of approximately 7,200 owned or controlled lots were controlled through lot option contracts.

Strategic Alternatives and the Merger Agreement

On May 19, 2025, UHG announced that it had initiated a review of strategic alternatives in order to explore ways to maximize shareholder value. On October 20, 2025, the Company reported that this review had concluded. After evaluating a full range of strategic alternatives, including a potential sale, merger or other transaction, the special committee of independent directors that was constituted for this purpose unanimously determined that, in light of current macroeconomic conditions, continuing to execute on the Company’s strategic plan as an independent, public company was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at that time. Concurrently, director James P. Clements resigned from the board, effective immediately, and five of the Company’s other directors notified the Company of their intent to resign from the Board no later than November 14, 2025. The reasons for such resignations were set forth in greater detail in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on October 20, 2025. Following these announcements, directors Robert Dozier Jr., Jason Enoch, and Alan Levine informed the Company of their willingness to remain on the Board and applicable committees beyond November 14, 2025, to ensure an orderly transition and help maintain compliance with the requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. Director Nikki Haley and director James M. Pirrello resigned from the Board effective as of November 7, 2025.

On February 22, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Stanley Martin Homes, LLC (“Parent”) and Union MergeCo, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which the subsidiary will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to the Merger Agreement and any shares held by stockholders who properly exercise dissenters’ rights under applicable law) will be converted into the right to

Table of Contents

receive $1.18 in cash per share, without interest (the “Per Share Amount”). The Merger is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions. If the Merger is consummated, the Company’s common stock and warrants will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company will become a privately held company. Refer to Note 21 - Subsequent Events of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Part I-Item 1A. Risk Factors” for additional information.

Market Opportunity

UHG believes that there is a significant housing shortage in the United States. Long-term favorable fundamentals of low housing inventory, high employment growth over a trailing five-year period, and affordability relative to the national average home price create an opportunity for UHG to expand its homebuilding operations.

UHG presently operates in three major market regions in South Carolina: Midlands, Upstate, and Coastal, as well as Augusta, Georgia, and Raleigh, North Carolina.

Competitive Strengths

UHG’s primary business objective is to create long-term returns for stockholders through its commitment to produce quality-built homes at affordable prices. UHG believes that its reputation, commitment to excellence and its support for its customers through the home buying process sets it apart from other public company homebuilders. UHG believes that the following strengths position it well to execute its business strategy and capitalize on opportunities in the Southeastern United States and across the country.

•Established Track Record. Proven growth and operating successes are hallmarks of UHG’s history. Founded in 2004, UHG has closed approximately 16,000 homes since its inception.

•Leading Share in Existing Markets and Close Proximity to Adjacent High-Growth Markets. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, UHG’s home state of South Carolina experienced an estimated population growth of more than 13.8% from 2015 to 2025 exceeding the estimated national average of 5.9% over the same period of time. UHG is based within 500 miles of some of the fastest growing markets in the U.S based on new home sales. This includes markets like Nashville, Jacksonville and Orlando, which carry the potential for expansion. UHG’s proximity to growing population centers of the Southeast provide a unique advantage over homebuilders with less of a focus in these regions.

•Land-light Operating Model Drives Superior Returns with Less Capital at Risk. UHG and other land-light builders do not hold large land positions on balance sheet, but rather partner with land banks and land developers including related parties that hold land and finished lots and deliver them to the builder on a “just-in-time” basis. UHG believes that this land-light model reduces both operating and financial risk, which is expected to drive higher returns while offering more flexibility in response to changing economic conditions and expects this to result in more stable financial performance through the housing cycle due to lower invested capital and equity at risk limited to the lot deposit.

•Highly Experienced, Aligned and Proven Management Team. UHG benefits from a highly experienced management team that has demonstrated the ability to adapt to ever-changing market conditions while generating substantial growth and innovation. UHG’s executive officers and key employees have over 100 years of cumulative experience in the homebuilding industry. UHG believes its management team’s wide-ranging industry experience, combined with its incentivized executive compensation structure, have been and will continue to be the key to its success.

Growth and Operations

UHG’s management and Board of Directors have established a multi-pronged growth strategy. UHG has historically relied upon the following strategies and anticipates utilizing many of these strategies to achieve additional growth going forward:

•Continue to Leverage Key Macro Housing Trends. UHG plans to continue to capitalize on the macro housing trends including the ongoing migration from higher-cost areas in the Northeast to more affordable markets in the Southeast. Given its focus on entry-level and first-time move-up buyers, UHG also expects to take advantage of high rental rates to encourage renters to consider home buying as an alternative to renting. It is UHG’s view that household formation, life events and ongoing rent inflation are larger drivers in an entry-level homebuyer’s decision process than interest rates.

•Capitalize on Strong Growth in Core Markets. U.S. Census Bureau data indicates UHG’s existing and adjacent markets continue to grow faster than national averages. These conditions are expected to allow well-capitalized

Table of Contents

homebuilders with a meaningful presence in these markets to grow faster than industry averages. For UHG going forward, increased market share through growth in community count and quicker inventory turnover count are expected to drive organic growth. UHG and its predecessors have demonstrated an ability to capitalize on these trends for more than 20 years.

•Build to Rent (“BTR”) Relationships. Institutional owners of residential rental homes are increasingly turning to homebuilders to help meet the need for more housing supply. Further, newly constructed rental homes tend to come with lower maintenance costs and higher rents than older homes. UHG’s existing product set, geared towards entry-level and first-time move-up buyers, is highly consistent with the rental product desired by institutional capital. UHG expects to continue to explore opportunities in the BTR sector from time to time to augment its core for-sale business.

•Ancillary Revenue Growth Opportunities. UHG management continuously looks for accretive sources of EBITDA growth, not just in product line opportunities, but also in opportunities to drive additional EBITDA from existing operations. A key example of this is Homeowners Mortgage, which is a joint venture with a leading national lender that arranges mortgage financing for potential homebuyers and delivers incremental revenue to UHG and its stockholders. Beyond being a source of revenue and EBITDA for UHG with little incremental expense or capital investment, Homeowners Mortgage, through its use of incentives, has helped improve buyer traffic conversion and reduce backlog cancellation rates.

Operational Initiatives

UHG continues to focus on its multi-faceted operational improvement initiatives that began in 2024. Through an increased use of data, analytics, and standardization of processes, the Company expects to sustain improvements in profitability and returns over time as a result of these initiatives. While the Company’s strategy will evolve and change over time, the Company believes the following will continue to have the largest impact on profitability in the near term:

•Product Improvement. UHG performed a comprehensive review of its portfolio of house plans that resulted in refreshed designs and new customization options offered to buyers. These refreshed house plans comprised a meaningful part of closings in the second half of the 2025. The Company has observed its refreshed offerings drive accelerated sales activity and increased pre-sales. The Company expects to offer new product lines going forward as well.

•Lowering Construction Costs. The Company has implemented an ongoing program aimed at reducing direct construction costs through the renegotiation and rebidding of major supplier, vendor, and subcontractor agreements. Combined with the product repositioning, lower costs and a higher level of standardization going forward are aimed at improving competitiveness in our markets.

•Comprehensive Land Underwriting. The Company maintains a Land Investment Committee which is responsible for approval of all new investments and follows established processes in its review and underwriting of potential investment opportunities. The Company has also increased the use of data and analytics to better align its communities and homes with market opportunities. Further, the Company’s land light strategy often employs the use of third-party capital, which has led the Company to increase the hurdle rate requirements on future land investments.

UHG Products and Customers

UHG’s Homes and Homebuyers

UHG’s homebuilding business is driven by its commitment to building high quality homes at affordable prices in attractive locations, while delivering excellent customer service. UHG empowers its customers with flexibility to personalize their desirable open floor plans with a wide array of finishes, options and upgrades to best fit their distinctive tastes and unique needs.

In its portfolio of home plans, UHG offers a series of single-family detached and attached homes. The homes are targeted for entry-level, first, and second move-up buyers, with some third-time move-up buyers and custom builds. Entry-level homebuyers are typically seeking an economical path to home ownership and desire square footage, quality design and construction at affordable prices. First-time move-up homebuyers generally desire the opportunity to select and upgrade features in their homes. Second-time move-up homebuyers generally seek larger floorplans with a higher level of finish with the ability to upgrade additional features. Third-time move-up homebuyers are similar to second-time move-ups but desire a higher level of finish and top-shelf options and upgrades.

Land Acquisition Strategy

Obtaining control of high-quality land positions is critical to the Company’s overall success, especially the Company’s growth and profitability. UHG remains focused on controlling anywhere from 4 - 5 years of high-quality land positions in its markets. The Company operates a land-light business model which minimizes its upfront capital commitment to a deposit and seeks to avoid the financial commitment of land development, which requires significant capital expenditures over an extended timeframe. UHG utilizes a comprehensive land underwriting process and has increased the use of data and analytics to better align its investments with market demands. Due to UHG’s extensive history, the Company has strong relationships with both local land owners and developers in its markets.

The Company’s land acquisition process is headed by UHG’s local division leadership with the collaboration of various resources across the company. UHG has a Land Investment Committee (“LIC”) which includes the Chief Executive Officer and President, Co-Chief Operating Officers (“Co-COOs”), and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The LIC is responsible for approval of all new investments. The Company’s divisions work with senior management throughout the underwriting process and, for potential investments that fit within the Company’s criteria, are given authority by the LIC to put deals under a letter of intent with minimal capital requirements in order to perform an initial evaluation of the acquisition opportunity. Acquisition opportunities are presented to the LIC by division leadership, in collaboration with other senior members of the organization, and are generally presented prior to the expiration of the negotiated inspection period and prior to the time that any deposits become non-refundable.

The Company considers a lot controlled when the Company is under contract to acquire the land, holds an option to acquire the applicable lot for the relevant timeframe set forth in the option contract, or the lot is owned or controlled by related parties and UHG expects to obtain the contractual right to acquire. Finished lots are typically purchased through lot option contracts with third party developers, related party developers or land bank partners. The Company typically posts deposits of 15 - 20% of the total purchase price of the finished lots and has a staggered takedown schedule designed to match the expected sales pace for the community. For contracts with land bank partners, UHG typically pays the development costs and is reimbursed the following month from the land bank partner.

As of December 31, 2025, lot deposits relating to lot and land option contracts totaled $40.5 million, which controlled 6,941 option lots. As of December 31, 2024, lot deposits relating to lot and land option contracts totaled $48.2 million, which controlled 7,565 option lots. While the Company intends to grow its controlled lot position over time to support long-term growth of the business, shorter-term fluctuations in lot count are typical for the Company and the industry through normal course of ongoing acquisition, underwriting, and due diligence activities.

Homebuilding, Marketing and Sales Process

UHG is a production builder, primarily focused on entry-level, first, and second move-up homebuyers, with some third move-up and custom construction. UHG bases the decision on what type of home to build according to its market analysis of potential homebuyers. Home construction ranges from attached single-family product such as townhomes and duplexes to detached single-family homes up to five-bedroom two-story product, primarily using plans designed in-house by UHG. The UHG build-on-demand market entails a homebuyer selecting a lot in a UHG development and picking from a selection of predesigned home plans and options. UHG does some limited custom home construction as well.

UHG uses a variety of marketing tools to reach potential homebuyers, but online marketing has become a key strength of the UHG business model, allowing it to reach a broad range of potential homebuyers at relatively low expense compared to traditional advertising platforms. The digital marketing methods that UHG employs include strategic e-marketing efforts to its current database of potential customers, internet advertising enhanced by search engine marketing, search engine optimization and campaigns and promotions across an array of social media platforms. UHG has also had measurable success utilizing its online digital chat function to assist with inquiries and direct traffic directly to its onsite sales representatives. One area of strength in UHG’s digital marketing has been to leverage virtual home tours of inventory and model homes, which has been particularly effective in selling homes to buyers moving into UHG’s markets from other regions of the country.

While digital marketing is a key component of the UHG home sales process, most homebuyers will ultimately want to visit a UHG product in person prior to purchasing. UHG maintains model homes in most developments for potential buyers to see in-person the quality and design features of UHG’s homes, as well as the different options that may be available. Onsite sales representatives are present in UHG developments to answer questions and provide potential homebuyers with a point-of-sale contact. While efficient marketing methods are important, real estate remains a complicated sales transaction and providing a potential buyer with access to a dedicated onsite sales representative who is an expert on the community is a key to the success of UHG’s sales process. Onsite sales representatives are typically local realtors who have contracted with UHG to provide this service, however the Company began transitioning to in-house sales representatives in certain markets in 2025. UHG also puts a great deal of effort into maintaining good relationships with local real estate professionals in its target markets.

Backlog, Net New Orders, Starts and Closings

For reporting purposes, a “new order” occurs when a buyer has been pre-approved by a mortgage lender, has signed a sales contract with UHG, and has placed a deposit towards the purchase of the home. A “start” occurs when a permit has been obtained and groundbreaking on a home is forthcoming. “Closing” occurs when the legal process for completing the sale of the home has been finalized and UHG has been paid for the sale. A certain number of sales will not be closed for one reason or another, and these are reported as “cancellations.” Homes in “backlog” are those that are under a sales contract but have not closed.

For reporting purposes, the total number of net new orders is reported as the number of new orders during the applicable period, minus the cancellation of existing contracts during that same period. Cancellation rate is determined by the total number of cancellations for the period divided by total number of gross new orders during the same period. Backlog is calculated as the number of homes in backlog from the prior period, plus net new orders for the current period, minus the number of closings for the current period. Backlog value is determined based on the selling prices of the homes in backlog.

The table below reports net new orders, starts, and closings in each of UHG’s primary markets for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Materials, Procurement and Construction

UHG uses various materials and components and is dependent upon building material suppliers for a continuous flow of raw materials. It typically takes UHG between 70 and 100 days to construct a single-family home and typically longer for certain second move-up and higher-end homes. Some factors that could create fluctuations in UHG’s raw material pricing are seasonal variations in the building cycle, labor and material supply chain disruptions, international trade disputes and resulting tariffs and increased demand for materials as a result of the improvements in the housing market.

UHG’s objective in procurement is to maximize efficiencies on local and regional levels and to ensure consistent utilization of established contractual arrangements. UHG employs a comprehensive procurement program that leverages its size and geographic footprint to achieve attractive cost savings and, whenever possible, standardize products to be used with multiple subcontractors and suppliers. This standardization process supports UHG’s efforts to maintain service levels and delivery commitments and to protect its pricing. UHG also leverages its volume to negotiate better pricing from manufacturers. UHG has numerous national distribution arrangements in place for framing supplies, plumbing fixtures, appliances, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, roofing and other supplies.

UHG has extensive experience managing all phases of the construction process. Although UHG does not employ its own skilled tradespeople, such as plumbers, electricians and carpenters, UHG does employ project managers, area and division construction managers, and Co-COOs to manage the construction process. UHG’s enterprise resource planning system and integrated construction scheduling software, along with a third party scheduling software, allow its project managers to closely monitor the construction progress of each of their homes. UHG’s software also enables its project managers to monitor the completion of work, which in turns expedites payments to their subcontractors.

Customer Relations, Quality Control and Warranty Program

UHG pays particularly close attention to the product design process and carefully considers quality and choice of materials in an attempt to eliminate building deficiencies and reduce warranty expenses. UHG’s policy is to require all of its vendors and sub-contractors, in connection with its onboarding process, to execute its standard terms agreement, which includes, among other provisions, work quality standards. UHG’s onboarding process also requires all vendors and subcontractors to provide proof of insurance, including liability insurance and workers compensation insurance, and to include UHG as an additional insured under such policies. The quality and workmanship of UHG’s subcontractors are monitored in the ordinary course of business by UHG’s project managers and area managers, and UHG conducts regular inspections and evaluations of its subcontractors to ensure that its standards are being met. In addition, local governing authorities in all of UHG’s markets require the homes UHG builds to pass a variety of inspections at various stages of construction, including a final inspection in which a certificate of occupancy, or its jurisdictional equivalent, is issued.

UHG maintains professional staff whose role includes the provision of a positive experience for each customer throughout the pre-sale, sale, building, closing and post-closing periods. These employees are also responsible for providing after-sales customer service. UHG’s quality and service initiatives include taking customers on a comprehensive tour of their home prior to closing and using customer survey results to improve its standards of quality and customer satisfaction.

Competition and Market Factors

UHG faces competition in the homebuilding industry, which is characterized by relatively low barriers to entry and multiple operators. UHG’s competition includes national, regional, and local homebuilders, as well as the individual

Table of Contents

home resale market and available rental housing. Homebuilders compete for, among other things, homebuyers, desirable lots, financing, raw materials and skilled labor. Competition for homebuyers is primarily based upon factors such as price, location, design, quality, and the reputation of the builder. Increased competition may prevent UHG from acquiring attractive lots on which to build homes or make such acquisitions more expensive, hinder its market share expansion or lead to pricing pressures on its homes that may adversely impact its margins and revenues.

The housing industry is cyclical and is affected by consumer confidence levels, employment, affordability, prevailing economic conditions and interest rates. Other factors that affect the housing industry and the demand for new homes include: the availability and the cost of land, labor and materials; changes in consumer preferences; demographic trends; and the availability and interest rates of mortgage finance programs. See “Risk Factors” for additional information regarding these risks.

Seasonality

The sale of both new and existing homes in the United States exhibit demonstrable seasonality over the course of a calendar year. This seasonality can be evidenced across multiple sources including, but not limited to, government data (e.g. U.S. Census Bureau), trade groups (e.g. National Association of Realtors) and public company reports. Typically, prospective home buyers search for homes beginning in late winter to early spring, which in industry parlance is often referred to as the “spring buying season.” As homes are constructed, those contracts are then closed upon through the summer into fall. As a result, UHG and the homebuilding industry tends to experience more new orders in the first half of a calendar year and increased closings and revenue recognition in the second half of a calendar year.

In all of its markets, UHG has historically experienced similar variability in its results of operations and capital requirements from quarter to quarter due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. Consequently, UHG’s revenue may fluctuate on a quarterly basis. As a result of seasonal activity, UHG’s quarterly results of operations and financial position at the end of a particular quarter are not necessarily representative of the results it expects at year end. UHG expects this seasonal pattern to continue in the long-term.

Governmental Regulation and Environmental, Health and Safety Matters

As a licensed builder in South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina, UHG is subject to each state’s statutes and regulations governing licensure, as well as other federal, state, and local laws and ordinances that govern the construction of homes in the relevant jurisdictions in which UHG operates. Homes built by UHG in South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina are required to be built to conform to the standards established by the latest edition of the International Residential Code (“IRC”) (as adopted and modified by each state). The construction of homes to the IRC standards is closely monitored by local authorities, and homes built by UHG must pass inspection at multiple stages of the construction process. Enforcement of the IRC standards is conducted at the local level, which has led and may continue to lead to conflicting interpretations among the multiple jurisdictions in which UHG does business and can cause delays to the construction process. Changes to the IRC or differences in interpretation among jurisdictions may result in additional costs incurred by UHG in the construction process.

Preparation of building sites for homes is governed by a variety of federal, state, and local environmental statutes, regulations, and ordinances. As a purchaser of finished lots from developers, one of the principal regulatory requirements that affects UHG is the requirement that it comply with stormwater and erosion control measures. Regulators frequently inspect UHG communities for compliance with these measures, and fines and other penalties causing delays may be imposed if such inspections reveal that these regulations have not been complied with.

Federal and state environmental laws may hold current or former real estate owners strictly or jointly and severally liable for certain hazardous or toxic substances that may be found on the property. Current or former owners may be required to investigate and clean up these substances and owners can be found liable for related damages. Homes subject to these conditions, or certain naturally occurring conditions like methane or radon, may require a mitigation plan, and a home subject to a mitigation plan may be less attractive to buyers. Use of building material by UHG that is found to be hazardous and to cause injury could also result in UHG being held liable for damages.

The supply of lots is affected by a number of federal, state, and local statutes, regulations, and ordinances, and can lead to substantially increased costs, delays, or even cancellation of the construction of communities. Unexpected factors such as an endangered species being found on a site, unanticipated jurisdictional wetlands, or geotechnical factors may lead to delays in the supply of lots or increased costs. Local governments may pass restrictions on density and other zoning requirements that make building homes more costly or impractical. Local jurisdictions may also pass moratoriums on development or issuing building permits that can affect the supply of lots to UHG. While UHG will generally purchase developed and entitled lots from third-party developers, related party developers and land banks, these lots may be subject to subsequent restrictions and regulations by local authorities, which can increase costs. UHG expects the use of local government land-use regulation to restrict residential development will intensify in the future.

Homeowners Mortgage, UHG’s joint-venture mortgage brokerage company, is subject to a wide array of federal and state statutes and regulations. As a mortgage broker, Homeowners Mortgage is primarily regulated by state financial services regulators: the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs (“SCDCA”), the South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions (“SCBOFI”), the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks (“NCCOB”), and the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance (“GADBF”). In addition, federal enforcement authority is vested with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the United States Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”). Homeowners Mortgage is subject to both federal and state law, including regulations promulgated by federal financial regulators (mainly, the CFPB and Federal Reserve Board) and the state financial regulators, which implement these laws. State financial regulators oversee the licensing of Homeowners Mortgage as a mortgage broker. Homeowners Mortgage maintains a Mortgage Broker License in Florida, a Mortgage Lender License in Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, a Consumer Credit License in Alabama and a Mortgage Broker/Lender/Servicer License in South Carolina. Homeowners Mortgage’s activities, advertising, disclosures to consumers, and its relationship with mortgage loan originators (“MLOs”) is subject to numerous federal laws, including the Real Estate Settlement Practices Act (“RESPA”) and its implementing regulation, Regulation X; the Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”) and Regulation Z; the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) and Regulation B; the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act); the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (“HMDA”) and Regulation C; the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and Regulation P; the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and Regulation V; and the Mortgage Acts and Practices — Advertising Rule (“MAP Rule”) and Regulation N. Some of these laws and regulations directly apply to Homeowners Mortgage, while other obligations apply indirectly through its relationship with the MLOs. The states in which Homeowners Mortgage operates have corollary legal and regulatory regimes, as well as additional restrictions on the conduct of mortgage brokerage businesses that are specific to transactions within the given state. Beyond these laws and regulations, Homeowners Mortgage is subject to compliance with the terms of various governmental and government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) underwriting and compliance guides. These programs, such as those operated by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), the Veterans Benefits Administration (“VA”), the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA/Fannie Mae”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA/Ginnie Mae”), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC/Freddie Mac”) promulgate regulations and guidelines pursuant to which they will originate or guarantee mortgage loans.

Human Capital Resources and Organizational Culture

UHG operates with a mission to lead the industry by delivering high quality homes with exceptional value and a focus on customer satisfaction. As of December 31, 2025, UHG had approximately 195 full-time team members. UHG also has offices throughout its markets, including offices in the Upstate market in Mauldin, SC, an office in the Coastal market in Myrtle Beach, SC, and an office in Raleigh, NC. The regional concentration of UHG markets, mostly within a two-hour drive from corporate headquarters near Columbia in the Midlands market, allows UHG to retain a light, cost-effective team and infrastructure footprint in the Upstate, Coastal and Raleigh markets.

UHG offers its team members generous benefits, including paid time off, health insurance and a 401k retirement plan. UHG values its team members and understands their importance to the success of the business. No UHG team members are members of a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement, there have been no work stoppages or strikes, and relations between UHG and its team members are believed to be positive. UHG primarily uses subcontractors to build homes, and UHG believes it has good relationships with these subcontractors.

Risks Related to the Merger

The Per Share Amount will not be adjusted in the event of any change in the value of UHG or UHG’s common stock.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, each share of Class A common stock of UHG, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and Class B common stock of UHG, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and together with Class A Common Stock, the “Company Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to the Merger Agreement or Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $1.18, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Amount”). The Per Share Amount will not be adjusted before or after consummation of the Merger. Except as expressly contemplated in the Merger Agreement, no change in the Per Share Amount will be made for any reason, including the following:

•changes in the business, operations, assets, liabilities and prospects of UHG;

•changes in the price at which shares of Class A Common Stock trade on Nasdaq;

•interest rates, general market and economic conditions, market and economic conditions in specific geographic regions, and other factors generally affecting UHG’s business;

•federal, state and local legislation, governmental regulation, and legal developments affecting UHG’s business;

•dissident stockholder activity, including any stockholder litigation challenging the transaction; and

•acquisitions, disposals, or new development opportunities.

Completion of the Merger is subject to many conditions and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will not be completed, which could result in the requirement that UHG pay a termination payment to Parent.

The Merger Agreement is subject to certain customary conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to (i) UHG receiving the Written Consent, as defined in the Merger Agreement, (which has been satisfied), (ii) the absence of any governmental authority of competent authority issuing any order, enacting a law or other legal restraint that makes consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibited, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties made in the Merger Agreement, subject to applicable materiality qualifiers, (iv) the performance by each party of its covenants and agreements set forth in the Merger Agreement in all material respects, and (v) absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect since the date of the Merger Agreement that has occurred that is continuing. Consummation of the Merger is not subject to any financing condition.

There is no assurance that the Merger will be completed. Failure to consummate the Merger may adversely affect UHG’s results of operations and business prospects for the following reasons, among others: (i) UHG has incurred and will continue to incur certain transaction costs, regardless of whether the Merger closes, which could adversely affect UHG’s financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to its stockholders, and (ii) the Merger, whether or not it closes, will divert the attention of certain management and other key employees of UHG from ongoing business activities, including the pursuit of other opportunities that could be beneficial to UHG.

In addition, UHG or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including, subject to certain limitations, if the Merger is not consummated by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on August 22, 2026 (the “End Date”). Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including, without limitation, if the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) due to UHG willfully and materially breaching its representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would result in certain closing conditions not being satisfied and is incapable of being cured by the End Date (or, if capable of being cured, is not cured within a 30-day cure period) or (ii) under certain circumstances and prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal for an Acquisition Transaction is publicly known and not publicly withdrawn and, within twelve months after the date of such termination, an Acquisition Transaction is consummated or UHG enters into an agreement providing for the consummation of an Acquisition Transaction, UHG will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $4,000,000.

In addition, Parent will be required to pay UHG a termination fee of $4,000,000 if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, including, without limitation, (i) due to Parent or Merger Sub willfully and materially breaching its representations, warranties or covenants that does or would have a Parent Material Adverse Effect and is incapable of being cured by the End Date (or, if capable of being cured, is not cured within a 30-day cure period) or (ii) because all conditions to the Merger have been satisfied or waived (subject to customary exceptions) and Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the Merger after receiving written notification from UHG.

The Merger may not be completed within the intended timeframe, or at all, and the failure to complete the Merger could adversely affect UHG’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and the market price of UHG’s Class A common stock.

If the Merger is delayed or is not completed, UHG could be subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

•the market price of UHG’s Class A common stock could decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed;

•the diversion of UHG’s management’s focus and resources from operational matters and other opportunities while working to implement the Merger;

•UHG may experience negative reactions from the financial markets or from its business partners or employees;

•disruptions to UHG’s business, including adverse changes in UHG’s relationships with vendors, suppliers, partners and employees, may occur;

•during the pendency of the Merger, UHG is subject to certain operating restrictions, including limits on UHG’s ability to start construction on additional homes, which may have the effect of decreasing UHG’s home sales revenue and earnings;

•UHG may be unable to attract and retain key personnel and recruit prospective employees, and the productivity of UHG’s employees may decline due to uncertainty regarding the Merger;

•UHG may be unable to pursue alternative business opportunities or make changes to UHG’s business pending the completion of the Merger;

•UHG has incurred, and expects to continue incurring, significant costs, expenses, and fees for professional services and other Merger-related costs, for which UHG may receive little or no benefit if the Merger is not completed, and many of these fees and costs will be payable by UHG even if the Merger is not completed;

•UHG may be required, under certain circumstances in which the Merger Agreement is terminated, to pay to Parent a termination fee of $4.0 million, which would require UHG to use cash that would have otherwise been available for general corporate purposes or other uses;

•UHG may be required to refinance its debt, and such refinancing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all; and

•UHG’s land banking partners may decide not to continue their relationships with UHG, and if UHG is unable to find replacement financing partners, UHG’s land acquisition activities and ability to maintain its lot pipeline would be negatively impacted.

In addition, if the Merger is not completed, UHG expects that these risks could materially affect UHG’s business and financial results.

Recent announcements regarding the results of the review of strategic alternatives and the resignations or planned resignations of members of UHG’s board of directors and resulting uncertainties regarding UHG’s ongoing governance have caused operational difficulties and disruptions, which are likely to continue and, if the Merger is not consummated, increase.

Since UHG’s announcement on October 20, 2025 regarding the results of the review of strategic alternatives and the resignation or planned resignation of substantially all of the members of the board of directors, UHG has faced significant operational difficulties. As subsequently announced, directors Robert Dozier Jr., Jason Enoch, and Alan Levine informed UHG of their willingness to remain on the Board and applicable committees beyond November 14, 2025, to ensure an orderly transition as director candidates were identified and recruited in order to maintain compliance with the requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. In the months following these announcements, numerous key counterparties, including UHG’s auditors, lenders, land banking partners, and insurers expressed concern regarding UHG’s ongoing corporate governance. Management of UHG has engaged in discussions with these and other counterparties regarding, among other things, maintaining compliance with loan covenants, and planning for UHG’s ongoing operations. On February 22, 2026, UHG entered into the Merger Agreement. Despite these discussions and announcements, UHG cannot provide any assurance that any counterparties will continue to engage in business with UHG. In addition, if the Merger is not consummated, UHG expects that it will need to identify and seat a number of replacement directors. If UHG does not have an adequate number of independent directors constituting its Audit Committee, UHG will be unable to obtain an audit opinion, which will adversely affect UHG’s ability to meet its SEC reporting obligations and will cause UHG to be in default under its debt arrangements. If these existing and prospective key relationships are unwilling to continue to engage with UHG during the pendency of the Merger, or if the Merger is not consummated, UHG will face significant restrictions on its ability to operate.

Table of Contents

The pendency of the Merger, including as a result of the restrictions on the operation of UHG’s business during the period between signing the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Merger, could adversely affect UHG’s business and operations.

During the pendency of the Merger, some business partners or vendors of UHG may delay or defer decisions, which could negatively impact UHG’s revenues, earnings, cash flows, and expenses, regardless of whether the Merger is completed. In addition, due to operating covenants in the Merger Agreement, UHG may be unable, without the consent of Parent, to make certain significant capital expenditures, undertake certain significant financing transactions, and otherwise pursue other actions that are not in the ordinary course of business, even if such actions would prove beneficial.

UHG has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, substantial expenses related to the Merger.

UHG has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, substantial expenses in connection with completing the Merger. Although UHG has assumed that a certain level of transaction expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond the control of UHG that could affect the total amount or the timing of such expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. As a result, the actual transaction expenses associated with the Merger could significantly exceed the estimated transaction expenses.

Litigation challenging the Merger may increase transaction costs and prevent the Merger from becoming effective or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.

If any stockholder files a lawsuit challenging the Merger, UHG can provide no assurances as to the outcome of any such lawsuit, including the costs associated with defending such claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation or settlement of such claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Merger on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may prevent the completion of the Merger in the expected time frame, or may prevent it from being completed altogether. Whether or not any such plaintiffs’ claims are successful, this type of litigation is often expensive and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect UHG’s operations.

Risks Related to UHG’s Business

UHG’s inability to successfully identify, secure and control an adequate inventory of lots at reasonable prices could adversely impact UHG’s operations.

The results of UHG’s homebuilding operations depend in part upon UHG’s continuing ability to successfully identify, control and acquire an adequate number of homebuilding lots in desirable locations. There can be no assurance that an adequate supply of homebuilding lots will continue to be available to UHG on terms similar to those available in the past, or that UHG will not be required to devote a greater amount of capital to controlling homebuilding lots than UHG has historically. In addition, because UHG employs a land-light business model, UHG may have access to fewer and less attractive homebuilding lots than if UHG owned lots outright, like some of UHG’s competitors who do not operate under a land-light model.

An insufficient supply of homebuilding lots in one or more of UHG’s markets, an inability of UHG’s developers to deliver finished lots in a timely fashion due to their inability to finance development activities, delays in recording deeds, conveying controlled lots as a result of government shut downs, or for other reasons, or UHG’s inability to purchase or finance homebuilding lots on reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s sales, profitability, ability to service its debt obligations and future cash flows. Any land shortages or any decrease in the supply of suitable land at reasonable prices could limit UHG’s ability to develop new communities or result in increased lot deposit requirements or land costs. UHG may not be able to pass any increased land costs to its customers, which could adversely impact UHG’s revenues, earnings and margins.

UHG considers a lot controlled when it holds an option to acquire the applicable lot for the relevant timeframe set forth in the option contract, in addition to lots that are owned or controlled by related parties and which UHG expects to obtain the contractual right to acquire. After UHG signs a finished lot option contract, but prior to the deposit becoming non-refundable (except for certain circumstances such as seller default or force majeure events), UHG has an initial inspection and due diligence period, during which time UHG inspects the property to make sure it meets certain development requirements (e.g., zoning, environmental approvals, and other customary requirements). If UHG discovers that the property does not sufficiently meet the development requirements after this period has passed, UHG could lose some or all of any deposits, fees, or investments paid or made in respect of such arrangements, including any cost overruns, which could adversely impact UHG’s profitability, ability to service its debt obligations, and future cash flows. UHG does not typically receive a return of its deposit upon expiration or termination of the contract unless it is due to seller default or a force majeure event. The forfeiture of land contract deposits or inventory impairments may result in a loss that could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s profitability, ability to service its debt obligations, and future cash flows.

Table of Contents

If the property meets UHG’s development requirements and successfully exits the initial inspection and due diligence period, the deposit becomes non-refundable (except for certain circumstances such as seller default and force majeure events), and UHG proceeds under the finished lot option contract with the lots available to it for purchase on a staggered takedown schedule, which is designed to mirror UHG’s expected home orders. UHG’s options to purchase lots typically expire at the end of each purchase date as set forth in the staggered takedown schedule of the applicable option contract. If, ultimately, UHG does not exercise its option to purchase, the seller then would have the option to terminate the agreement, which would then result in the loss of the option to purchase all remaining unpurchased lots and forfeiture of the remaining deposit for the unpurchased lots. UHG does not typically receive a return of its deposit upon expiration or termination of the contract unless it is due to seller default or a force majeure event. The forfeiture of land contract deposits or inventory impairments may result in a loss that could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s profitability, stock performance, ability to service its debt obligations, and future cash flows.

If UHG is unable to develop its communities successfully or within expected time frames, UHG’s results of operations could be adversely affected.

Although UHG’s preference is to acquire finished lots, from time to time, UHG may also acquire property that requires further development before it can begin building homes. When a community requires additional developments, UHG devotes substantial time and capital in order to obtain development approvals, acquire land and construct significant portions of project infrastructure and amenities before the community generates any revenue. In addition, UHG’s land bank option contracts often include provisions under which delays in land development and/or longer land takedown periods cause UHG to incur additional cost. It can take several years from the time UHG acquires control of an undeveloped property to the time it makes its first home sale on the site. Delays in the development of communities, including delays associated with subcontractors performing the development activities or entitlements, expose UHG to the risk of changes in market conditions for homes and increase costs. A decline in UHG’s ability to develop and market one of its new undeveloped communities successfully and to generate positive cash flow from these operations in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s business and results of operations and on its ability to service its debt.

UHG’s geographic concentration could materially and adversely affect its business or financial results if the homebuilding industry in its current markets should decline.

UHG currently builds and sells homes in South Carolina, with a smaller presence in Georgia and North Carolina. UHG’s business strategy is focused on the design, construction, and sale of single-family homes and townhomes across these key markets. A prolonged economic downturn in this region, or in a particular industry or sector of employment that is fundamental to this region, could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations, and a disproportionately greater impact on UHG than other homebuilders with more geographically diversified operations.

UHG’s business and financial results could be adversely affected by significant inflation and higher interest rates, or by a period of deflation.

Inflation can adversely affect UHG by increasing costs of the lots, materials and labor it needs to operate its business. In addition, significant inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which have a negative impact on housing affordability, thereby further decreasing demand. In a highly inflationary environment, depending on industry and other economic conditions, UHG may be precluded from raising home prices enough to keep up with the rate of inflation, which could reduce its profit margins. Moreover, in a highly inflationary environment, UHG’s cost of capital, labor, and materials can increase, and the purchasing power of its cash resources can decline, which could have an adverse impact on its business or financial results.

Alternatively, a significant period of deflation could cause a decrease in overall spending and borrowing levels. This could lead to deterioration in economic conditions, including an increase in the rate of unemployment. Deflation could also cause the value of UHG’s inventories to decline or reduce the value of existing homes below the related mortgage loan balance, which could potentially increase the supply of existing homes. These, or other factors that increase the risk of significant deflation, could have a negative impact on UHG’s business or financial results.

Because most of UHG’s customers finance the purchase of their homes, the terms and availability of mortgage financing can affect the demand for and the ability to complete the purchase of a home, which could materially and adversely affect UHG.

A substantial majority of UHG’s customers finance their home purchases through lenders that provide mortgage financing. Rising interest rates, decreased availability of mortgage financing, reduced access to certain mortgage programs, higher down payment requirements or increased monthly mortgage costs, among other factors, may lead to reduced

Table of Contents

demand for UHG’s homes and mortgage loans. Mortgage interest rates have generally trended downward for the last several decades and reached historic lows in the summer of 2020, which made the homes UHG sells more affordable. Mortgage rates climbed abruptly beginning in 2022 before stabilizing and decreasing slightly in recent years. UHG cannot predict whether mortgage rates will continue to climb, remain at the current levels, or fall. If mortgage rates continue at current levels or increase, the ability of prospective homebuyers to finance home purchases may be adversely affected and, as a result, UHG’s business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Decreases in the availability of credit and increases in the cost of credit adversely affect the ability of homebuyers to obtain or service mortgage debt. Entry-level and first-time move-up homebuyers are the primary source of demand for UHG’s new homes. Entry-level homebuyers are generally more affected by the availability of financing than other potential homebuyers. In addition, many of UHG’s potential move-up homebuyers must sell their existing homes in order to buy a home from UHG. Where potential homebuyers must sell their existing homes in order to buy a new home, increases in mortgage costs, lack of availability of mortgages, and/or regulatory changes could prevent the buyers of potential homebuyers’ existing homes from obtaining a mortgage, which would result in the inability of a significant number of UHG’s potential customers to buy a new home. Similar risks apply to those buyers who are awaiting delivery of their homes and are currently in backlog. The success of homebuilders depends on the ability of potential homebuyers to obtain mortgages for the purchase of homes. If UHG’s customers (or potential buyers of its customers’ existing homes) cannot obtain suitable financing, UHG’s sales and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The federal government has taken on a significant role in supporting mortgage lending through its conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both of which purchase home mortgages and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) originated by mortgage lenders, and its insurance of mortgages originated by lenders through the FHA and VA. The FHA insures mortgage loans that generally have lower credit requirements and is an important source for financing the sale of UHG’s homes. The secondary market for mortgage loans continues to primarily prefer securities backed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, and UHG believes the liquidity these agencies provide to the mortgage industry is important to the housing market. The availability and affordability of mortgage loans, including interest rates for such loans, could be adversely affected by a curtailment or cessation of the federal government’s mortgage-related programs or policies. Additionally, the FHA may continue to impose stricter loan qualification standards, raise minimum down payment requirements, impose higher mortgage insurance premiums and other costs, or limit the number of mortgages it insures. Due to federal budget deficits, the U.S. Treasury may not be able to continue supporting the mortgage-related activities of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the FHA and the VA at present levels, or it may revise significantly the federal government’s participation in and support of the residential mortgage market. Because the availability of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA and VA-backed mortgage financing is an important factor in marketing and selling many of UHG’s homes, any limitations, restrictions or changes in the availability of such government-backed financing could reduce UHG’s home sales, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

The risks associated with UHG’s inventories could adversely affect its business or financial results.

Housing inventory risks are substantial for UHG’s homebuilding activities. The market value of building lots and housing inventories can fluctuate significantly as a result of changing market conditions. In addition, inventory carrying costs can be significant and can result in losses in a poorly performing community or market. If housing demand declines, UHG may have to sell homes for a lower profit margin or record inventory impairment charges on its lots, and some of those write-downs could be material.

Increases in UHG’s home cancellation rate could have a negative impact on its home sales revenue and gross profit.

UHG’s backlog reflects sales contracts with homebuyers for homes that have not yet been delivered. UHG has received a deposit from a homebuyer for most homes reflected in its backlog and, generally, has the right to retain the deposit if the homebuyer fails to comply with his or her obligations under the sales contract, subject to certain exceptions, including as a result of state and local law, the homebuyer’s inability to sell his or her current home or, in certain circumstances, the homebuyer’s inability to obtain suitable financing. Home order cancellations negatively impact the number of closed homes, net new home orders, home sales revenue and results of operations, as well as the number of homes in backlog. Home order cancellations can result from a number of factors, including declines or slow appreciation in the market value of homes, increases in the supply of homes available to be purchased, increased competition, higher mortgage interest rates, homebuyers’ inability to sell their existing homes, homebuyers’ inability to obtain suitable financing, including providing sufficient down payments, and adverse changes in economic conditions.

An increase in the level of UHG’s home order cancellations could have a negative impact on its business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Tax law changes that increase the costs of owning a home could prevent potential customers from buying UHG’s homes and adversely affect its business or financial results.

While tax laws generally permit significant expenses associated with homeownership, primarily mortgage interest expense and real estate taxes, to be deducted for the purpose of calculating an individual’s federal and, in many cases, state taxable income, the ability to deduct mortgage interest expense and real estate taxes for federal income tax purposes is limited. The federal government or a state government may change its income tax laws by eliminating, limiting or substantially reducing these income tax benefits without offsetting provisions, which may increase the after-tax cost of owning a new home for many of UHG’s potential homebuyers. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which became effective January 1, 2018, contained substantial changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including (i) limitations on the ability of homebuyers to deduct property taxes, (ii) limitations on the ability of homebuyers to deduct mortgage interest and (iii) limitations on the ability of homebuyers to deduct state and local income taxes. Any similar future changes could also have a material adverse impact on UHG’s business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, increases in property tax rates or fees on developers by local governmental authorities, as experienced in response to reduced federal and state funding or to fund local initiatives, such as funding schools or road improvements, or increases in insurance premiums can adversely affect the ability of potential customers to obtain financing or their desire to purchase new homes, and can have an adverse impact on UHG’s business and financial results.

UHG cannot make any assurances that its growth strategies will be successful or will not expose it to additional risks or result in other negative consequences to its business or financial results.

UHG intends to achieve its primary business objectives by executing on its growth strategies of continuing to leverage key macro housing trends, capitalizing on strong growth in core markets, engaging in accretive mergers and acquisitions, entering into programmatic build-to-rent partnerships, and identifying ancillary revenue growth opportunities. Past successes in any of these areas are not an indicator of future successes.

UHG employs a land-light lot acquisition strategy with a focus on the design, construction and sale of single-family homes and townhomes. UHG utilizes its land banking relationships during the land development and holding process in an attempt to reduce UHG’s up-front capital requirements and align its pace of home orders and home starts. UHG’s land bank option contracts often include provisions under which delays in land development and/or longer land takedown periods cause UHG to incur additional cost. To the extent UHG is not able to adequately manage the pace of development and lot takedown scheduling, UHG’s results of operations could be adversely affected.

UHG intends to capitalize on its demonstrated operational experience to grow its market share within its existing markets and to opportunistically expand into new markets where it identifies strong economic and demographic trends that provide opportunities to build homes that meet its profit and return objectives. These strategic decisions may not advance its business strategy, provide a satisfactory return on its investment or provide any other anticipated benefits. Additionally, the execution and integration of any of these growth and expansion initiatives may not be successful and may require significant time and resources, which would divert management’s attention from other operations. Any of these initiatives could also expose UHG to material liabilities not discovered in the due diligence process and may lead to litigation. If these initiatives under-perform expectations or are unsuccessful, UHG may incur significant expenses or write-offs of inventory, other assets or intangible assets such as goodwill and company brand, which would adversely affect UHG’s business and financial results.

UHG’s strategic and operational initiatives, including those aimed at increasing profitability and driving returns, are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and UHG may not be able to implement the initiatives successfully.

UHG launched multi-faceted operational improvement initiatives in 2024 which continued throughout 2025. See Item 1. Business, for further discussion of certain of these initiatives. UHG’s ability to successfully execute these initiatives is subject to various risks and uncertainties and there can be no assurance regarding the timing of or extent to which UHG will realize the anticipated benefits, if at all. These risks could result in operational inefficiencies or other unforeseen complications that may adversely affect UHG’s business operations. Additionally, these initiatives require allocation of both financial and operational resources, and management and key employees may be required to focus on one or more of these initiatives and may give less focus to UHG’s day-to-day operations, which could negatively impact UHG’s overall business performance. Further, any delays, cost overruns, or implementation difficulties could negatively impact the expected results of these initiatives.

UHG may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and stock price.

UHG may be forced to write down or write off assets, including intangible assets such as goodwill, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses, including due to factors outside of UHG’s

business and control. For example, UHG has recorded intangible assets, including goodwill, in connection with the acquisition of selected assets of Herring Homes, LLC and Creekside Custom Homes, LLC (which were accounted for as a business combination) and acquisition of common stock of Rosewood Communities, Inc. totaling $10.7 million as of December 31, 2025. If UHG were to determine that a significant impairment of any such intangible assets has occurred, UHG would be required to write-off the impaired portion of intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s results of operations in the period in which the write-off occurs. During the fourth quarter of 2025, UHG’s management identified indicators of potential impairment including a decline in market capitalization and a decline in performance compared to the original projected underwriting of the acquisitions, and as a result, recorded a goodwill impairment of $1.1 million. In addition, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with UHG’s risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on UHG’s liquidity, the fact that UHG reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about UHG or its securities. Accordingly, UHG’s securities could suffer a reduction in value.

Difficulties with appraisal valuations in relation to the proposed sales price of UHG’s homes could force UHG to reduce the price of its homes for sale.

UHG’s home sales may require an appraisal of each home value before closing. Appraisals are professional judgments of the market value of the property and are based on a variety of market factors. If UHG’s internal valuations of the market and pricing do not line up with the appraisal valuations and appraisals are not at or near the agreed upon sales price, UHG may be forced to reduce the sales price of the home to complete the sale. These appraisal issues could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s business and results of operations.

Failure to find suitable subcontractors may have a material adverse effect on UHG’s standards of service.

Substantially all of UHG’s construction work is done by third-party subcontractors with UHG acting as the general contractor. Accordingly, the timing and quality of UHG’s construction depends on the availability and skill of its subcontractors. UHG does not have long-term contractual commitments with any subcontractors, and there can be no assurance that skilled subcontractors will continue to be available at reasonable rates and in the areas in which UHG conducts its operations.

In the future, certain of the subcontractors UHG engages with may be represented by labor unions or subject to collective bargaining arrangements that require the payment of prevailing wages that are higher than normally expected on a residential construction site. A strike or other work stoppage involving any of UHG’s subcontractors could also make it difficult to retain subcontractors for its construction work. In addition, union activity could result in UHG paying higher costs to retain its subcontractors. The inability to contract with skilled subcontractors at reasonable costs on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

UHG could be adversely affected by efforts to impose joint employer liability on it for labor law violations committed by its subcontractors.

Although subcontractors are independent of the homebuilders that contract with them under normal management practices and the terms of trade contracts and subcontracts within the homebuilding industry, if regulatory agencies reclassify the employees of subcontractors as employees of homebuilders, UHG could be responsible for wage, hour, and other employment-related liabilities of its subcontractors, which could adversely affect its results of operations and business or financial results.

UHG may suffer significant financial harm and loss of reputation if it does not comply, cannot comply or is alleged to have not complied with applicable laws, rules and regulations concerning its classification and compensation practices for independent contractors.

UHG retains various independent contractors and subcontractors. With respect to these independent contractors, UHG is subject to the IRS regulations and applicable state law guidelines regarding independent contractor classification. These regulations and guidelines are subject to judicial and agency interpretation, and it might be determined that the independent contractor classification is inapplicable to any sales agents, vendors or any other entity characterized as an independent contractor. Further, if legal standards for the classification of independent contractors change or appear to be changing, UHG may need to modify its compensation and benefits structure for such independent contractors, including by paying additional compensation or reimbursing expenses.

There can be no assurance that legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory (including tax) authorities will not introduce proposals or assert interpretations of existing rules and regulations that would change the independent contractor classification of any individual or vendor currently characterized as independent contractors doing business with UHG.

Table of Contents

Potential changes, if any, with respect to such classification could have a significant effect on UHG’s operating model. Further, the costs associated with any such potential changes could have a significant effect on UHG’s results of operations and financial condition if it were unable to pass through an increase in price corresponding to such increased costs to its customers. Additionally, UHG could incur substantial costs, penalties and damages, including back pay, unpaid benefits, taxes, expense reimbursement and attorneys’ fees in defending future challenges to its employment classification or compensation practices.

UHG is required to obtain performance bonds and other government approvals, the unavailability of which could adversely affect its results of operations and cash flows.

UHG is often required to provide surety bonds to secure its performance or obligations under construction contracts, development agreements and other arrangements. Its ability to obtain surety bonds primarily depends upon its credit rating, financial condition, past performance and other factors, including the capacity of the surety market and the underwriting practices of surety bond issuers. The ability to obtain surety bonds also can be impacted by the willingness of insurance companies to issue performance bonds for construction and development activities. In addition, some municipalities and governmental authorities have been reluctant to accept surety bonds and instead require enhancements such as cash deposits or letters of credit, in order to maintain existing bonds or to issue new bonds. If UHG is unable to obtain surety bonds when required, or if it is required to provide credit enhancements with respect to its current or future bonds or in place of bonds, its results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

UHG may suffer uninsured losses or suffer material losses in excess of insurance limits adversely affecting its business or financial results.

Material losses or liabilities in excess of insurance proceeds may occur in the future. UHG could suffer physical damage to property and liabilities resulting in losses that may not be fully compensated by insurance. In addition, certain types of risks, such as personal injury claims, may be, or may become in the future, either uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may not be currently or in the future covered by UHG’s insurance policies. The costs of insuring against construction defect, product liability and director and officer claims are substantial, and the cost of insurance for UHG’s operations may rise, deductibles and retentions may increase, and the availability of insurance may diminish. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, UHG could sustain financial loss or lose capital invested in the affected property as well as anticipated future income from that property. In addition, it could be liable to repair damage or meet liabilities caused by uninsured risks and may also be liable for any debt or other financial obligations related to affected property. Material losses or liabilities in excess of insurance proceeds may occur in the future.

The coverage offered and the availability of general liability insurance for construction defects is currently limited and is costly. As a result, an increasing number of UHG’s subcontractors may be unable to obtain insurance. If UHG cannot effectively recover construction defect liabilities and costs of defense from its subcontractors or their insurers, or if it has self-insured liabilities, it may suffer losses. Coverage may be further restricted and become even more costly. Such circumstances could adversely affect UHG’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

UHG is subject to litigation and other legal proceedings that could harm its business if an unfavorable ruling were to occur.

From time to time, UHG is involved in litigation and other legal proceedings relating to claims arising from its operations in the normal course of business. UHG is currently subject to certain legal proceedings. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings may occur. These or other litigation or legal proceedings could materially affect UHG’s ability to conduct its business in the manner that it expects or otherwise adversely affect UHG should an unfavorable ruling occur.

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

Operating in the homebuilding industry poses certain inherent health and safety risks and building sites are inherently dangerous. Due to health and safety regulatory requirements and the number of projects UHG works on, health and safety performance is critical to the success of all areas of its business. Any failure in health and safety performance may result in penalties for non-compliance with relevant regulatory requirements or litigation, and a failure that results in a major or significant health and safety incident is likely to be costly in terms of potential liabilities incurred as a result. Such a failure could generate significant negative publicity and have a corresponding impact on UHG’s reputation, its relationships with relevant regulatory agencies, governmental authorities and local communities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

UHG may not be able to compete effectively against competitors in the homebuilding industry.

UHG operates in a very competitive environment which is characterized by competition from a number of other homebuilders in each market in which it operates. Additionally, there are relatively low barriers to entry into the business. UHG competes with numerous large national and regional homebuilding companies and with smaller local homebuilders and land developers for, among other things, home buyers, desirable land parcels, financing, raw materials and skilled management and labor resources. These competitors may independently develop land and construct housing units that are superior or substantially similar to UHG’s products. Increased competition could hurt UHG’s business, as it could prevent UHG from acquiring attractive lots on which to build homes or make such acquisitions more expensive, hinder its market share expansion and cause it to increase its selling incentives and reduce its prices. If UHG is unable to compete effectively in its markets, its business could decline disproportionately to its competitors, and its results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

UHG may be at a competitive disadvantage with regard to certain of its large national and regional homebuilding competitors whose operations are more geographically diversified than UHG’s, as these competitors may be better able to withstand any future regional downturn in the housing market. UHG competes directly with a number of large national and regional homebuilders that may have longer operating histories and greater financial and operational resources than UHG. Many of these competitors also have longstanding relationships with subcontractors and suppliers in the markets in which UHG operates. This may give competitors an advantage in securing materials and labor at lower prices, marketing their products and allowing their homes to be delivered to customers more quickly and at more favorable prices. This competition could reduce UHG’s market share and limit its ability to expand its business.

Poor relations with the residents of UHG’s communities could negatively impact sales, which could cause UHG’s revenues or results of operations to decline.

Residents of UHG’s communities rely on UHG to resolve issues or disputes that may arise in connection with the operation or development of their communities. Efforts made by UHG to resolve these issues or disputes could be deemed unsatisfactory by the affected residents, and subsequent actions by these residents could adversely affect UHG’s sales or reputation. In addition, UHG could be required to make material expenditures related to the settlement of such issues or disputes or to modify its community development plans, which could adversely affect its results of operations.

UHG’s mortgage brokering joint venture may not be able to compete effectively in this area.

UHG participates in the brokering of mortgage loans through its engagement in its joint venture mortgage brokerage company, Homeowners Mortgage, which brokers loans for financing UHG’s home sales. The competitors to Homeowners Mortgage include mortgage brokers and lenders, including national, regional and local mortgage brokers, banks, and other financial institutions. Some of these competitors are subject to fewer governmental regulations and have greater access to capital than Homeowners Mortgage, and some of them may operate with different criteria. These competitors may offer a broader or more attractive array of financing and other products and services to potential customers than Homeowners Mortgage. For these reasons, Homeowners Mortgage may not be able to compete effectively in the mortgage banking business.

Homeowners Mortgage may be adversely affected by changes in governmental regulation.

Changes in governmental regulation with respect to mortgage brokers and lenders could adversely affect the financial results of Homeowners Mortgage, which in turn could adversely affect UHG’s business. Homeowners Mortgage is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, which, among other things: prohibit discrimination and establish underwriting guidelines; require appraisals and/or credit reports on prospective borrowers and disclosure of certain information concerning credit and settlement costs; establish maximum loan amounts; prohibit predatory lending practices; and regulate the referral of business to affiliated entities.

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

UHG’s business could be materially and adversely disrupted by an epidemic or pandemic, or similar public threat, or fear of such an event, and the measures that federal, state and local governments and other authorities implement to address it.

An epidemic, pandemic or similar serious public health issue and the measures undertaken by governmental authorities to address it, could significantly disrupt or prevent UHG from operating its business in the ordinary course for an extended period. Among other things, UHG could experience impacts from supply chain disruptions, quarantines, market downturns, and changes in consumer behavior. These impacts, along with any associated economic and social instability or distress, could have a material adverse impact on UHG’s business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Global and U.S. agencies declared the end of the related emergency from the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2023. This health crisis had far-reaching adverse effects on the global economy, financial markets, and various stakeholders including UHG’s employees, customers, suppliers, and other business associates. There is no guarantee that a future outbreak of this or any other widespread epidemics or pandemics will not occur, or that the U.S. economy will fully recover, either of which could materially and adversely affect UHG’s business.

Risks Related to the Homebuilding Industry

The homebuilding industry is cyclical and affected by changes in general economic, real estate or other conditions that could adversely affect UHG’s business or financial results.

The residential homebuilding industry is highly cyclical and can be significantly affected by changes in local and general economic conditions that are outside of UHG’s control, including changes in:

•the availability of construction and permanent mortgages;

•the supply of developable land in markets in which UHG operates;

•the supply of building materials and appliances;

•consumer confidence, income and spending generally and the confidence, income and spending of potential homebuyers in particular;

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

•the availability and costs of financing for homebuyers;

•private and federal mortgage financing programs and federal, state, and local regulation of lending practices related to the purchase of homes;

•short- and long-term interest rates;

•federal and state income tax provisions, including provisions for the deduction of mortgage interest payments;

•real estate taxes;

•inflation;

•the ability of existing homeowners to sell their existing homes at prices that are acceptable to them;

•housing demand from population growth and other demographic changes (including immigration levels and trends in urban and suburban migration);

•the supply of new or existing homes and other housing alternatives to new homes, such as apartments, foreclosed homes, homes held for sale by investors, and other existing residential and rental property;

•inclement weather, natural disasters, other calamities and other environmental conditions that can delay the delivery of UHG’s homes and/or increase its costs;

•demographic trends; and

•U.S. and global financial system and credit markets, including stock market and credit market volatility.

Adverse changes in these general and local economic conditions or a downturn in the broader economy would have a negative impact on UHG’s business and financial results. Changes in these economic conditions may affect some of UHG’s regions or markets more than others. If adverse conditions affect the larger markets that UHG serves, they could have a disproportionately greater impact on UHG than on other homebuilding companies. In addition, an important segment of UHG’s customer base consists of first-time and second-time move-up buyers, who often purchase homes subject to contingencies related to the sale of their existing homes, and therefore will be affected by downturn in the resale market. To counter potential decreases in demand, UHG has implemented various sales incentives, primarily in the form of buyer financing incentives such as mortgage rate buy downs, mortgage forward commitments, or cash incentives applied against closing costs. Use of these and other incentives could negatively impact UHG’s margins. Further, UHG also competes with the resale, or “previously owned,” home market. The difficulties facing these buyers in selling their homes during periods of economic downturn may adversely affect UHG’s sales, and moreover, during such periods UHG may need to reduce its sale prices and offer greater incentives to buyers to compete for sales, which may reduce its margins.

In the past, the federal government’s fiscal and trade policies and economic stimulus actions have created uncertainty in the financial markets and caused volatility in interest rates, which impacted business and consumer behavior, particularly in the real estate industry. Monetary policy actions affecting interest rates or fiscal policy actions and new legislation related to taxation, spending levels or borrowing limits, along with the related political debates, conflicts and compromises associated with such actions, may negatively impact the financial markets and consumer confidence. Such events could hurt the U.S. economy and the housing market and, in turn, could adversely affect the operating results of UHG’s businesses.

Weather conditions and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and heavy or prolonged precipitation, can harm UHG’s business. These can delay UHG’s home construction and home closings, adversely affect the cost or availability of materials or labor or damage homes under construction. The climate and geology of the states in which UHG operates have experienced recent natural disasters and present increased risks of adverse weather or natural disasters.

Any of the foregoing adverse changes in general economic, real estate or other conditions may cause potential customers to be less willing or able to buy UHG’s homes. In the future, UHG’s pricing and product strategies may also be limited by market conditions. UHG may be unable to change the mix of its home offerings, reduce the costs of the homes it builds, offer homes at lower prices or satisfactorily address changing market conditions in other ways without adversely affecting its profits and returns. In addition, cancellations of home sales contracts in backlog may increase if homebuyers do not honor their contracts due to any of the factors discussed above.

Changes in U.S. trade policies and retaliatory responses from other countries may significantly increase the costs or limit supplies of building materials and products used in UHG’s homes, and UHG may not be able to raise home prices sufficiently to offset increased costs.

The state of relationships between other countries and the U.S. with respect to trade policies, taxes, government relations and tariffs may impact UHG’s business. The federal government has in the past imposed new or increased tariffs or duties on certain imported materials and goods that are used in connection with the construction and delivery of UHG’s homes, including steel, aluminum, lumber, and components of appliances and fixtures, raising UHG’s costs for these items (or products made with them), and resulting in foreign governments responding by imposing or increasing tariffs, duties and/or trade restrictions on U.S. goods. Significant tariffs or other restrictions placed on raw materials that UHG uses in its homebuilding operation, such as lumber or steel, could cause the cost of home construction to increase, and UHG may not be able to pass these increased costs along to homebuyers, which could adversely impact the number of homes sold by UHG and UHG’s margins. Trading conflicts could also cause disruptions or shortages in UHG’s supply chains and/or negatively impact the U.S., regional or local economies, and, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect UHG’s business, margins, and operating results.

Homebuilding is subject to home warranty and construction defect claims in the ordinary course of business that can be significant, and reliance on subcontractors exposes builders such as UHG to regulatory risks that could adversely affect business or financial results.

UHG is subject to home warranty and construction defect claims arising in the ordinary course of its homebuilding business. These claims are common to the homebuilding industry and can be costly. UHG relies on subcontractors to perform the actual construction of its homes, and in many cases, to select and obtain construction materials. Despite UHG’s detailed specifications and monitoring of the construction process, its subcontractors may not meet adequate quality standards in the construction of its homes. When UHG finds these issues, it repairs them in accordance with its warranty obligations. Warranty and construction defect matters can also result in negative publicity in the media and on the internet, which can damage UHG’s reputation and adversely affect its ability to sell homes.

Based on the large number of homes UHG has sold over the years, its potential liabilities related to warranty and construction defect claims are significant. As a consequence, UHG maintains product liability insurance, and seeks to obtain indemnities and certificates of insurance from subcontractors covering claims related to their workmanship and materials. UHG establishes warranty and other reserves for the homes it sells based on its historical experience in its markets and its judgment of the qualitative risks associated with the types of homes built. Because of the uncertainties inherent to these matters, UHG cannot provide assurance that its insurance coverage, its subcontractor arrangements and its reserves will be adequate to address all of its future warranty and construction defect claims. Contractual indemnities can be difficult to enforce against subcontractors, and some types of claims may not be covered by insurance or may exceed applicable coverage limits. Additionally, the coverage offered by and the availability of product liability insurance for construction defects is limited and costly. There can be no assurance that coverage will not be further restricted or become more costly. If costs to resolve future warranty and construction defect claims exceed UHG’s estimates, its financial results and liquidity could be adversely affected.

Supply shortages and other risks related to acquiring lots, building materials and skilled labor could increase UHG’s costs and delay deliveries causing an adverse effect on UHG’s business or financial results.

The homebuilding industry has from time to time experienced significant difficulties that can affect the cost or timing of construction, including:

•difficulty in acquiring lots suitable for residential building at affordable prices in locations where potential customers want to live;

•shortages of qualified subcontractors and skilled labor;

•reliance on local subcontractors, manufacturers, distributors and land developers who may be inadequately capitalized;

•shortages of materials; and

•significant increases in the cost of materials, particularly increases in the price of lumber, drywall and cement, which are significant components of home construction costs.

These lots, labor and materials shortages can be more severe during periods of strong demand for housing or during periods where the regions in which UHG operates experience natural disasters that have a significant impact on existing residential and commercial structures. The cost of labor and materials may also increase during periods of shortages or high inflation. In addition, tariffs, duties and/or trade restrictions imposed or increased on imported materials and goods that are used in connection with the construction and delivery of UHG’s homes, including steel, aluminum and lumber, may raise its costs for these items or for the products made with them, and changes in immigration laws and/or their enforcement could result in tighter overall labor conditions and a shortage of labor. These factors may cause construction delays or cause UHG to incur more costs building its homes. If the level of new home demand increases significantly in future periods, the risk of shortages and cost increases in residential lots, labor and materials available to the homebuilding industry will likely increase.

Governmental regulations and environmental matters could increase the cost and limit the availability of UHG’s homebuilding projects and adversely affect its business or financial results.

UHG is subject to extensive and complex regulations that affect home construction, including zoning, density restrictions, building design and building standards. Projects that are not fully permitted and approved may be subjected to periodic delays, changes in use, less intensive development or elimination of development in certain specific areas due to government regulations. UHG may also be subject to periodic delays or may be precluded entirely from developing in certain communities due to building moratoriums or “slow-growth” or “no-growth” initiatives that could be implemented in the future. These regulations often provide broad discretion to the administering governmental authorities as to the conditions UHG must meet prior to construction being approved, if approved at all. UHG is subject to determinations by these authorities as to the adequacy of water or sewage facilities, roads or other local services. Government authorities in many markets have implemented no growth or growth-control initiatives. New housing developments may also be subject to various assessments for schools, parks, streets and other public improvements. Any of these may limit, delay or increase the costs of home construction. In addition, UHG may from time to time receive notices of complaint from local departments of professional licensing, arising when a UHG customer contacts such department complaining of substandard work or other standards or code violations.

UHG is also subject to a significant number and variety of local, state and federal laws and regulations concerning protection of health, safety, labor standards and the environment. The impact of environmental laws varies depending upon the prior uses of the building site or adjoining properties and may be greater in areas with less supply where undeveloped land or desirable alternatives are less available. These matters may result in delays, may cause UHG to incur substantial compliance, remediation, mitigation and other costs, and can prohibit or severely restrict development and homebuilding activity in environmentally sensitive regions or areas. Government agencies also routinely initiate audits, reviews or investigations of developers and homebuilders’ business practices to ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, which could cause UHG to incur costs or create other disruptions in its business that can be significant.

Under various environmental laws, current or former owners of real estate, as well as certain other categories of parties, may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for related damages, including for bodily injury, and for investigation or clean-up costs incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination. A mitigation system may be installed during the construction of a home if cleanup does not remove all contaminants of concern or to address a naturally occurring condition such as methane. Some buyers may not want to purchase a home with a mitigation system.

Government restrictions, standards, or regulations intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or potential climate change impacts are likely to result in restrictions on land development in certain areas and may increase energy,

transportation, or raw material costs, which could reduce UHG’s profit margins and adversely affect its results of operations.

The subcontractors UHG relies on to perform the actual construction of its homes are also subject to a significant number of local, state and federal laws and regulations, including laws involving matters that are not within UHG’s control. If the subcontractors who construct UHG’s homes fail to comply with all applicable laws, UHG can suffer reputational damage and may be exposed to possible liability, either or both of which could adversely affect its business or financial results.

Natural disasters, severe weather and adverse geologic conditions may increase costs, cause project delays and reduce consumer demand for housing, all of which could materially and adversely affect UHG.

UHG’s homebuilding operations are located in areas that are subject to natural disasters, severe weather or adverse geologic conditions. These include, but are not limited to, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods, prolonged periods of precipitation, soil subsidence, and other natural disasters. For example, UHG operates in a number of locations in the Southeast that have been adversely impacted by severe weather conditions and hurricanes. The occurrence of any of these events could damage UHG’s lots and projects, cause delays in completion of UHG’s projects, reduce consumer demand for housing and cause shortages and price increases in labor or raw materials, any of which could affect UHG’s sales and profitability. In addition to directly damaging UHG’s lots or projects, many of these natural events could damage roads and highways providing access to UHG’s assets or affect the desirability of UHG’s lots or projects, thereby adversely affecting UHG’s ability to market and sell homes in those areas and possibly increasing the costs of homebuilding completion. Furthermore, the occurrence of natural disasters, severe weather and other adverse geologic conditions has increased in recent years due to climate change and may continue to increase in the future. Climate change may have the effect of making the risks described above occur more frequently and more severely, which could amplify the adverse impact on UHG’s business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to UHG’s Financing and Indebtedness

UHG has significant amounts of debt and may incur additional debt. Incurrence of additional debt or a default under any of UHG’s loan agreements could affect UHG’s financial health and its ability to raise additional capital to fund its operations or potential acquisitions.

As of December 31, 2025, UHG’s consolidated homebuilding debt was approximately $78.2 million, of which was secured by inventory pursuant to the Syndicated Line with Wells Fargo (as defined herein), and carried a weighted average interest rate of 7.48% as of December 31, 2025. UHG’s obligations under the Credit Agreement with Kennedy Lewis (as defined herein) are secured by a security interest in 100% of the capital stock of Great Southern Homes, Inc., a subsidiary of UHG (“GSH”). See Note 9 - Debt of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report. The amount and the maturities of UHG’s debt could have important consequences on UHG’s cash flows and results of operations. For example, UHG’s obligations to service its debt facilities could require the dedication of a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to payment of debt and reduce the ability to use cash flow for other operating or investing purposes; limit the flexibility to adjust to changes in business or economic conditions; and limit the ability to obtain future financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements or other requirements. The covenants, restrictions or limitations in UHG’s debt facilities could limit its ability to plan for or react to market or economic conditions or meet capital needs or otherwise restrict its activities or business plans and adversely affect its ability to finance operations, acquisition, investments or strategic alliances or other capital needs or to engage in other business activities that would be in its interest.

UHG’s existing financing agreements contain, and the financing arrangements UHG enters into in the future likely will contain, covenants that limit UHG’s ability to take certain actions. UHG’s Syndicated Line with Wells Fargo contains significant restrictions on UHG’s ability to incur additional debt. The Syndicated Line also contains affirmative, negative, and financial covenants, including (a) a minimum tangible net worth of no less than the sum of (i) $70 million, (ii) 25% of positive consolidated earnings earned in any fiscal quarter, (iii) 100% of new equity contributed to the Borrower (as defined in the Wells Fargo Facility), (iv) 100% of any increase in tangible net worth resulting from an equity issuance upon the conversion or exchange of any security constituting indebtedness that is convertible or exchangeable, or is being converted or exchanged, for equity interests, and (v) 100% of the amount of any repurchase of equity interests in the Company; (b) a maximum leverage covenant that prohibits the leverage ratio from exceeding 2.25 to 1.00, except for up to two quarterly measurement periods in which the ratio shall not exceed 2.50 to 1.00 during the period beginning on August 2, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2025; (c) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.50 to 1.00 for the period from and after June 30, 2024 until June 30, 2025, and a minimum of 2.00 to 1.00 thereafter, provided that a minimum debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.35 to 1.00 will be permitted for up to two quarterly measurement periods during the period beginning on August 2, 2024 and ending on June 30, 2025; (d) a minimum liquidity amount of not less than $37,500,000 from and after June 30, 2024, provided that during any period in which the debt service coverage

Table of Contents

ratio is less than 1.50 to 1.00, the minimum liquidity threshold will be at least the greater of (i) $45,000,000, or (ii) an amount equal to 1.50x the trailing twelve month interest incurred; and (e) unrestricted cash of not less than $15,000,000 at all times. UHG’s Credit Agreement with Kennedy Lewis also contains certain financial covenants, including (a) a minimum tangible net worth of at least $70 million; (b) a maximum leverage covenant that prohibits the consolidated total leverage ratio from exceeding 2.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter (as determined on the last day of each fiscal quarter); provided that UHG may exceed such ratio in two instances from December 11, 2024 until December 31, 2025 so long as the consolidated total leverage ratio does not exceed 2.625 to 1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter; (c) a minimum debt service coverage ratio (as determined on the last day of each fiscal quarter) of (x) not less than 1.35 to 1.00 until June 30, 2025 and (y) thereafter to be greater than 1.50 to 1.00, provided that such debt service coverage ratio may be less than 1.35 to 1.00 in two instances from December 11, 2024 until June 30, 2025 so long as the debt service coverage ratio is greater than or equal to 1.20 to 1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter, and (d) minimum liquidity of not less than $20 million and unrestricted cash of not less than $10 million at all times. The obligations under the Kennedy Lewis Credit Agreement are guaranteed by UHG.

If UHG fails to comply with the covenants, restrictions or limitations in its financing arrangements, UHG would be in default under such financing arrangements and its lenders could elect to declare outstanding amounts due and payable and terminate their commitments. A default also could significantly limit UHG’s financing alternatives, which could cause UHG to curtail its investment activities and/or dispose of assets when it otherwise would not choose to do so. In addition, future indebtedness UHG obtains may contain financial covenants limiting its ability to, for example, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, reduce liquidity below certain levels and pay dividends to its stockholders and otherwise affect its operating policies. If UHG defaults on one or more of its debt agreements, it could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to further extend the Wells Fargo Facility beyond 2027 could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s ability to meet the financing requirements of its business.

The Wells Fargo Facility has a stated maturity date in 2027, which date may be extended by one year upon UHG’s request and subject to the consent of the extending lenders and the other terms of the Wells Fargo Facility. If UHG is unable to extend the Wells Fargo Facility or find a new source of borrowing on acceptable terms, UHG will be required to pay down the amounts outstanding under the Wells Fargo Facility, which may require UHG to sell assets, seek additional equity financing (which will result in additional dilution to stockholders) or reduce or delay capital expenditures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s operations and financial condition. If UHG does not have sufficient funds and is otherwise unable to arrange financing, its assets may be foreclosed upon which could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, UHG would be restricted in its ability to acquire new investments, and UHG’s independent registered public accounting firm could raise an issue as to UHG’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Servicing UHG’s debt requires a significant amount of cash, and it may not have sufficient cash flow to pay its substantial debt, which could adversely impact its business and financial results.

UHG’s ability to meet its debt service obligations will depend, in part, upon its future financial performance. Future results are subject to the risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Report. UHG’s revenues and earnings vary with the level of general economic activity in the markets it serves. Its business is also affected by financial, political, business and other factors, many of which are beyond its control. The factors that affect its ability to generate cash can also affect its ability to raise additional funds for these purposes through the sale of debt or equity, the refinancing of debt or the sale of assets. Changes in prevailing interest rates may affect the cost of UHG’s debt service obligations because borrowings under the Syndicated Line and the Credit Agreement bear interest at floating rates.

UHG’s financing arrangements contain, and UHG’s future financing arrangements will likely contain, restrictive covenants.

UHG’s financing arrangements contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on UHG and may limit UHG’s ability to engage in acts that may be in UHG’s long-term best interest, including, among other things, restrictions on UHG’s ability to, in certain instances:

•incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, except in accordance with the terms of UHG’s financing arrangements;

•declare or pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock of UHG; and

•make acquisitions of all or substantially all of the assets of another person, except in accordance with UHG’s financing arrangements.

Table of Contents

As a result of these restrictions, UHG will be limited as to how it conducts its business and may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of any future indebtedness UHG may incur could include more restrictive covenants. UHG cannot make any assurances that it will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants in the future and, if UHG fails to do so, that UHG will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants.

UHG’s failure to comply with the restrictive covenants described above and/or the terms of any future indebtedness from time to time could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in UHG’s being required to repay these applicable borrowing before its due date and the termination of future funding commitments by UHG’s lenders. If UHG is forced to refinance these borrowings on less favorable terms or cannot refinance these borrowings, UHG’s results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Constriction of the credit and capital markets could limit UHG’s ability to access financing and increase its costs of capital.

During past economic and housing downturns, the credit markets constricted and reduced some sources of liquidity that were previously available to UHG. Consequently, UHG relied principally on its cash on hand to meet its working capital needs and repay outstanding indebtedness during those times. There likely will be similar periods in the future when financial market upheaval will increase UHG’s cost of capital or limit UHG’s ability to access the debt markets or obtain bank financing. During such times, UHG may not have sufficient cash on hand to meet its working capital needs and repay outstanding indebtedness.

The homebuilding industry is capital-intensive and requires significant up-front expenditures to acquire lots and begin construction on homes. There is no assurance that cash generated from UHG’s operations, borrowings incurred under its current credit agreements or project-level financing arrangements, or proceeds raised in capital markets transactions will be sufficient to finance UHG’s projects or otherwise fund its liquidity needs. If UHG’s future cash flows from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to finance its projects or otherwise fund its liquidity needs, it may be forced to:

•reduce or delay business activities, lot acquisitions and capital expenditures;

•sell assets;

•obtain additional debt or equity capital; or

•restructure or refinance all or a portion of its debt on or before maturity.

These alternative measures may not be successful and UHG may not be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, the terms of UHG’s existing debt may limit its ability to pursue these alternatives. Further, UHG may seek additional capital in the form of project-level financing from time to time. The availability of borrowed funds, especially for construction financing, may be greatly reduced nationally, and the lending community may require increased amounts of equity to be invested in a project by borrowers in connection with both new loans and the extension of existing loans. Construction activities may be adversely affected by any shortage or increased cost of financing or the unwillingness of third parties to engage in joint ventures. Any difficulty in obtaining sufficient capital for planned construction expenditures could cause project delays and any such delay could result in cost increases and may adversely affect UHG’s sales and future results of operations and cash flows.

UHG may be unable to obtain additional financing to fund its operations and growth.

UHG may require additional financing to fund its operations or growth, which might not be available on terms that are favorable or acceptable, or at all. If UHG is required to seek financing to fund its working capital requirements, volatility in credit or capital markets may restrict its flexibility to successfully obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to UHG, or at all. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of UHG.

Adverse developments affecting financial institutions, including bank failures, could adversely affect UHG’s liquidity and financial performance.

UHG holds domestic cash deposits in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured banks which exceed the FDIC insurance limits. Bank failures, events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance, or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, or concerns or rumors about such events, may lead to liquidity constraints. The failure of banks, or other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets impacting financial institutions at which UHG maintains balances, could adversely impact UHG’s liquidity and financial performance. There can be no assurance that UHG’s deposits in excess of the FDIC or other comparable insurance limits will be backstopped by the U.S. or that any bank or financial institution with which UHG does business will be able to obtain needed liquidity from other banks, government institutions, or by acquisition in the event of a failure or liquidity crisis. Adverse

Table of Contents

developments affecting financial institutions, including bank failures, could adversely affect UHG’s liquidity and financial performance.

Additionally if such banks or financial institutions, or any substitute or additional banks or financial institutions, participate in the Wells Fargo Facility, adverse developments may result in such bank or financial instituting defaulting under such facility. Under the Wells Fargo Facility, non-defaulting lenders are not unconditionally obligated to cover or acquire a defaulting lender’s respective commitment to fund loans or to issue letters of credit, and may not issue additional letters of credit if UHG does not enter into arrangements to address the risk with respect to the defaulting lender (which may include cash collateral). If the non-defaulting lenders are unable or unwilling to cover or acquire a defaulting lender’s respective commitment, potentially due to other demands they face under other credit instruments to which they are party, or because of regulatory restrictions, among other factors, UHG may not be able to access the Wells Fargo Facility’s full borrowing or letter of credit capacity.

Risks Related to UHG’s Organization and Structure

There are various potential conflicts of interest in UHG’s relationship with related party land developers, including with UHG’s Executive Chairman who has ownership interests in those related party land developers, and the interests of UHG’s Executive Chairman may not be aligned with the interest of UHG’s stockholders.

UHG has historically relied upon related party land developers for a significant amount of UHG’s pipeline of developed lots. Michael Nieri is the Executive Chairman and a Director of UHG and is also an owner and a board member of the sole manager of each of these related party land developers. The UHG Related Party Transactions Committee has established and monitors procedures to be followed in connection with transactions with these related party land developers and reviews all agreements and transactions entered into or to be entered into involving any of the related party land developers and UHG to ensure any such agreements and transactions are at arm’s length. However, because Mr. Nieri has material interests in these entities, there may be situations in which UHG’s interests and Mr. Nieri’s interests are inherently not fully aligned in transactions that involve both UHG and one or more of the related party land developers, and in some cases Mr. Nieri’s interests may directly conflict with the interest of UHG. These conflicts may include, without limitation: conflicts arising from the enforcement of agreements between UHG and the related party land developers; conflicts in determining whether UHG may be able to obtain more beneficial terms by purchasing lots from other third-party developers; and conflicts in determining the terms of current or future agreements and transactions. These conflicts of interest may result in transactions whose terms or outcomes are less favorable to UHG than would otherwise be the case without such arrangements with related party land developers.

The dual class structure of UHG’s common stock has the effect of concentrating voting power with UHG’s Executive Chairman, which may effectively eliminate the ability of holders of UHG’s Class A common stock to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

UHG’s Class A common stock has one vote per share, and UHG’s Class B common stock has two votes per share. All of UHG’s Class B common stock is held by Michael Nieri, UHG’s Executive Chairman, and family trusts established for the benefit of certain of Mr. Nieri’s family members (such trusts collectively, the “Nieri Trusts”). As a result, Mr. Nieri and the Nieri Trusts control a majority of the voting power of the outstanding UHG Common Shares. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to UHG’s stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law or UHG’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Accordingly, Mr. Nieri and the Nieri Trusts will likely effectively control all matters submitted to the stockholders, including the election of directors, amendments of organizational documents, compensation matters, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of UHG’s assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval, including the Merger.

Mr. Nieri may have interests that differ from those of other UHG stockholders and may vote in a way with which other stockholders disagree, and which may be adverse to other stockholders’ interests. This concentrated control is likely to have the effect of limiting the likelihood of an unsolicited merger proposal, unsolicited tender offer, or proxy contest for the removal of directors. As a result, UHG’s dual class structure, coupled with Mr. Nieri’s and the Nieri Trusts’ concentration of stock ownership, may have the effect of depriving UHG’s stockholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices and make it more difficult to replace directors and management.

Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, on February 22, 2026, Mr. Nieri and certain of his affiliates, who collectively hold approximately 70% of the total voting power of the outstanding UHG Common Shares, executed and delivered to UHG a written consent (the “Written Consent”) adopting the Merger Agreement and approving the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby. As a result of the execution and delivery of the Written Consent, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of UHG Common Shares with the right to vote thereon have adopted

Table of Contents

and approved the Merger Agreement. The delivery of the Written Consent constituted the necessary approval of stockholders for the approval of the Merger.

UHG is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, may qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If UHG relies on these exemptions, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

Michael Nieri and the Nieri Trusts control a majority of the voting power of the outstanding UHG Common Shares, and UHG is therefore a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable rules of Nasdaq. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:

•that a majority of the Board of Directors consists of independent directors;

•for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees;

•that the controlled company has a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

•that the controlled company has a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibility.

While UHG has not relied on these exemptions, UHG may use these exemptions in the future. As a result, UHG’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

UHG depends on key personnel whose untimely departure could adversely impact its business and financial results.

UHG’s success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of certain key personnel who would be difficult to replace. There is no guarantee that these personnel will remain employed with UHG. If any of UHG’s key personnel were to cease employment with it, its operating results could suffer. Further, the process of attracting and retaining suitable replacements for key personnel whose services it may lose would result in transition costs and would divert the attention of other members of senior management from existing operations. The loss of services from key personnel or a limitation in their availability could materially and adversely impact UHG’s business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets. UHG has not obtained and does not expect to obtain key man life insurance that would provide it with proceeds in the event of death or disability of any of its key personnel.

UHG’s corporate organizational documents and provisions of state law to which it is subject contain certain provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, make more difficult, or prevent an attempted acquisition that stockholders may favor or an attempted replacement of the Board of Directors or management.

UHG’s governing documents have anti-takeover effects and may delay, discourage, or prevent an attempted acquisition or change of control or a replacement of the incumbent Board of Directors or management. The governing documents include provisions that:

•empower the Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock, the terms of which, including voting power, are to be set by the Board of Directors;

•eliminate cumulative voting in elections of directors;

•permit the Board of Directors to alter, amend, or repeal the company’s bylaws or to adopt new bylaws;

•provide for a staggered Board of Directors with approximately one-third of UHG’s directors in each class, with the effect that generally, no more than one-third of UHG’s directors may be elected at any annual meeting of stockholders; and

•enable the Board of Directors to increase, between annual meetings, the number of persons serving as directors and to fill the vacancies created as a result of the increase by a majority vote of the directors present at a meeting of directors.

These provisions may delay, discourage, or prevent an attempted acquisition or change in control.

UHG may change its operational policies, investment guidelines, and business and growth strategies without stockholder consent which may subject it to different and more significant risks in the future that may adversely impact its business and financial results.

The Board of Directors determines UHG’s operational policies, investment guidelines, and business and growth strategies. The Board of Directors may make changes to, or approve transactions that deviate from, those policies,

Table of Contents

guidelines, and strategies without a vote of, or notice to, stockholders. This could result in UHG conducting operational matters, making investments, or pursuing different business or growth strategies than those contemplated in this Annual Report. Under any of these circumstances, UHG may expose itself to different and more significant risks in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

Any joint venture investments that UHG makes could be adversely affected by its lack of sole decision-making authority, its reliance on co-ventures’ financial conditions, and disputes between it and its co-ventures.

UHG currently has joint venture investments in its joint venture mortgage company and may co-invest in the future with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities, acquiring non-controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for managing the affairs of a land acquisition and/or a development. For such joint venture investments, UHG would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the acquisition and/or development, and its investment may be illiquid due to its lack of control. Investments in partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that partners or co-ventures might become bankrupt, fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, make poor business decisions, or block or delay necessary decisions. Partners or co-venturers may have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with UHG’s business interests or goals and may be in a position to take actions contrary to UHG’s policies or objectives. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither UHG nor the partner or co-venturer would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. Disputes between UHG and partners or co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase UHG’s expenses and prevent its officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on its business. In addition, UHG may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of its third-party partners or co-venturers.

Provisions in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware law may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against the directors and officers of UHG.

UHG’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless UHG consents to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action brought by a stockholder on behalf of UHG, (ii) any claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of UHG’s directors, officers, stockholders, or employees, (iii) any claim against UHG arising under its charter or bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law and (iv) any claim against UHG governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation designates the United States District Court for the District of Delaware as the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

This exclusive forum provision will not apply to claims under the Exchange Act but will apply to other state and federal law claims including actions arising under the Securities Act. Section 22 of the Securities Act, however, created concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a forum selection provision as written in connection with claims arising under the Securities Act.

This choice of forum provision may have the effect of increasing costs for investors to bring a claim against UHG and its directors and officers and of limiting a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with UHG or any of its directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage (but not prevent) lawsuits with respect to such claims.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in UHG’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for UHG’s common stock.

UHG’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. UHG is also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together, these provisions may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for UHG’s securities. These provisions include:

•if the holders of Class B common shares no longer hold at least a majority in voting power of UHG’s outstanding

common shares, a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of UHG’s stockholders;

•if the holders of Class B common shares no longer hold at least a majority in voting power of UHG’s outstanding common shares, a denial of the right of stockholders to call a special meeting;

Table of Contents

•a vote of 66 2/3% required to approve certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws; and

•the designation of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain disputes.

Risks Related to Ownership of UHG’s Securities

UHG may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock (including upon the exercise of warrants), which would dilute the interest of UHG’s stockholders and may present other risks.

As of December 31, 2025, UHG had outstanding (i) public warrants and private placement warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 11,591,663 shares of Class A common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 746,947 shares of Class A common stock that were issued in connection with warrant agreements. UHG may also issue up to 21,886,379 shares of Class A common stock upon the achievement of certain earnout conditions, and may issue shares of Class A common stock in connection with equity based awards, 6,216,615 of which were outstanding as of December 31, 2025 (such equity-based compensatory awards are generally subject to vesting requirements). UHG may also issue a substantial number of additional shares of common stock (or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for common stock) in the future, including in connection with acquisitions, pursuant to compensation arrangements (including under the United Homes Group, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan) or as a result of financing transactions. During the pendency of the Merger, UHG's ability to issue additional securities is restricted by the Merger Agreement.

The issuance of additional shares of common stock may significantly dilute the equity interest of existing investors and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of a substantial number of such shares in the public markets may adversely affect the market price of UHG’s listed securities.

There are currently no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. The issuance of preferred stock in the future may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded UHG’s common stock.

UHG faces high costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could adversely affect UHG’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As a public company, UHG is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the listing standards of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations. The requirements of these rules and regulations have increased, and UHG expects will continue to increase, its legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on its personnel, systems, and resources. For example, the Exchange Act requires, among other things, that UHG timely file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to its business and results of operations. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, UHG’s management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm UHG’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. If UHG is required to hire additional employees or engage outside consultants to assist it in complying with these requirements, UHG’s operating expenses will increase.

If UHG fails to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such as minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements, Nasdaq may take steps to delist UHG’s common stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of UHG’ common stock and would impair the ability of stockholders to sell or purchase UHG’s common stock when they wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, UHG would expect to take actions to restore its compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but UHG can provide no assurance that any such action taken by it would allow its common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of its common stock, prevent its common stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.

In addition, changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. UHG intends to continue investing substantial resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from business operations to compliance activities. If UHG’s efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against UHG and its business may be harmed.

Table of Contents

UHG also expects that these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for UHG to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and UHG may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for UHG to attract and retain qualified members of its Board of Directors and qualified executive officers.

As a result of disclosure of information in filings required of a public company, UHG’s business and financial condition is more visible than that of a private company, which may result in an increased risk of threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, UHG’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in UHG’s favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of UHG’s management and harm its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

UHG is an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to such companies, its securities may be less attractive to investors.

UHG is an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company.” As such, UHG is subject to reduced disclosure obligations in its periodic reports and proxy statements. In addition, as an emerging growth company, UHG is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure about executive compensation arrangements, and no requirement to seek non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. UHG has elected to adopt these reduced disclosure requirements. UHG could be an emerging growth company until December 31, 2026 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the Initial Public Offering (January 25, 2026)), although UHG could lose that status earlier in the event it were to issue non-convertible debt securities exceeding $1.0 billion prior to December 31, 2026.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. UHG has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period and, as a result of this election, its financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. In choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period, it may later decide otherwise (i.e., “opt in” by complying with the financial accounting standard effective dates applicable to non-emerging growth companies), so long as it complies with the requirements in Sections 107(b)(2) and (3) of the JOBS Act, which is irrevocable.

UHG cannot predict if investors will find its securities less attractive as a result of it taking advantage of these exemptions. If some investors find its securities less attractive as a result of its choices, there may be a less active trading market for its securities and its stock price may be more volatile.

If UHG identifies a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, or if UHG fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls, UHG may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence and, as a result, the value of the Class A common stock.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for UHG to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. There is no assurance that material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal controls will not be identified in the future or that UHG will be successful in adequately remediating any such material weaknesses and significant deficiencies. UHG may in the future discover areas of its internal controls that need improvement. Furthermore, to the extent UHG’s business grows or significantly changes, UHG’s internal controls may become more complex, and UHG could require significantly more resources to ensure its internal controls remain effective. If UHG identifies material weaknesses in the future, it could negatively impact UHG’s operations or the market value of its common stock. Additionally, the existence of any material weakness or significant deficiency would require management to devote significant time and incur significant expense to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, and management may not be able to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in a timely manner. The existence of any material weakness in UHG’s internal control over financial reporting could also result in errors in UHG’s financial statements that could require UHG to restate its financial statements, cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations, subject it to investigations from regulatory authorities or cause stockholders to lose confidence in its reported financial information, all of which could materially and adversely affect UHG.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about UHG, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding the Class A common stock of UHG adversely, then the price and trading volume of the Class A common stock could decline.

The trading market for UHG’s Class A common stock and public warrants will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about UHG, its business, its market, or its competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on UHG. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of UHG, the stock price and trading volume of the Class A common stock and public warrants of UHG would likely be negatively impacted. If any analyst who may cover UHG were to cease coverage of UHG or fail to regularly publish reports on it, UHG could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the stock price or trading volume of the Class A common stock and public warrants of UHG to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover UHG downgrades UHG’s Class A common stock, or if UHG’s operating results do not meet their expectations, UHG’s stock price could decline.

The trading price of UHG’s securities may be volatile.

The trading price of UHG’s securities could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond UHG’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on the trading prices of UHG’s securities. In such circumstances, the trading price of UHG’s securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of UHG’s securities may include:

•the pendency of the Merger;

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in UHG’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it;

•changes in the market’s expectations about UHG’s operating results;

•success or entry of competitors;

•UHG’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning UHG or the homebuilding industry in general;

•operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to UHG;

•changes in laws and regulations affecting UHG’s business;

•UHG’s ability to meet compliance requirements;

•commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving UHG;

•changes in UHG’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•the volume of UHG’s shares of common stock available for public sale;

•any major change in the Board of Directors or management;

•sales of substantial amounts of UHG’s shares of common stock by its directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, and acts of war or terrorism, inflation and market liquidity.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of UHG’s securities irrespective of its operating performance. The stock market in general has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of UHG’s securities, are not predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to UHG could depress UHG’s share price regardless of its business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of UHG’s securities also could adversely affect its ability to issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future. In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have initiated derivative actions. If UHG is involved in derivative litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of UHG’s management from UHG’s business regardless of the outcome of the litigation.

Changes in laws, regulations or rules, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations or rules, may adversely affect UHG’s business, investments and results of operations.

UHG is subject to laws, regulations and rules enacted by national, regional and local governments and Nasdaq. In particular, UHG is required to comply with certain SEC, Nasdaq and other legal or regulatory requirements of businesses

Table of Contents

providing financial services. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws, regulations and rules may be difficult, time consuming and costly. These laws, regulations, and rules include, without limitation, the following:

•As an employer, UHG will be subject to state and federal laws relating to employment practices, health and safety of employees, employee benefits and other employment-related matters.

•As a company whose common stock is listed for trading on Nasdaq, UHG is subject to Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, which include requirements relating corporate governance matters, the size of the public float of UHG’s shares, and the minimum bid price of UHG’s shares.

•UHG is an SEC reporting company and therefore UHG is required to comply with the various rules and regulations of the SEC that relate to, among other things, the timing and content of annual, quarterly and current reports, the process to register additional shares for sale to the public or for resale by existing investors, and disclosures in connection with meetings of stockholders.

Changes in these rules and regulations can have a significant impact on UHG.

As UHG’s business expands to additional markets, UHG will be required to review and comply with state and local laws, rules, and regulations that apply to UHG’s business activities. Those additional laws, rules, and regulations or changes therein could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s business, investments and results of operations. A failure to comply with any applicable laws, regulations or rules, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s business and results of operations.

UHG may be a “United States real property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current or future years, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. holder owning more than 5% of UHG’s Class A common stock.

UHG generally will be a USRPHC for any taxable year in which 50% or more of the value of its assets is attributable to interests in real property located in the United States. This is a factual determination that must be made annually and is dependent on various factors, including UHG’s market capitalization. UHG believes it is a USRPHC as of the year ended December 31, 2025. UHG cannot assure its shareholders that it will not be a USRPHC in the future. If UHG is a USRPHC at any time during a Non-U.S. holder’s holding period in its shares of Class A common stock, a Non-U.S. Holder owning more than 5% of UHG’s Class A common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its gain realized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its shares of Class A common stock. Because of these adverse tax consequences, non-U.S. investors may choose not to invest in UHG. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the consequences of disposing of shares of UHG’s common stock.

UHG may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to warrant holders, thereby making their warrants worthless.

UHG has the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of UHG’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalization and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which UHG gives proper notice of such redemption to the warrant holders and provided certain other conditions are met. UHG may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force the warrant holders (i) to exercise their warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) to sell their warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold their warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of their warrants.

There is no guarantee that UHG’s warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for UHG’s warrants is $11.50 per Class A common share. There is no guarantee that the warrants will be in the money at any given time prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

General Risk Factors

An information systems interruption or breach in security could adversely affect UHG.

UHG relies on accounting, financial and operational management information systems to conduct its operations. Any disruption in these systems, or the systems of affiliates and other third parties that UHG conducts business with, could adversely affect UHG’s ability to conduct its business. UHG’s computer systems are subject to damage or interruption

Table of Contents

from power outages, computer attacks by hackers, viruses, catastrophes, hardware and software failures and breach of data security protocols by its personnel or third-party service providers. If UHG were to experience a significant period of disruption in information technology systems that involve interactions with customers or suppliers, it could result in the loss of sales and customers and significant incremental costs, which could adversely affect its business.

Furthermore, any security breach of information systems or data could result in the misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of proprietary, personal and confidential information, including information related to employees, counter-parties, and customers, which could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to its reputation and a loss of confidence in its security measures, which could harm its business. While UHG has not experienced cyber security incidents in the past, there can be no assurance that future cyber security incidents will not have a material impact on UHG’s business or operations.

UHG’s business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection.

As part of UHG’s normal business activities, UHG collects and stores certain information, including information specific to homebuyers, customers, employees, vendors and suppliers. UHG may share some of this information with third parties who assist UHG with certain aspects of its business. The regulatory environment surrounding data privacy and protection is constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. Laws and regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information pose increasingly complex compliance challenges and potentially elevate UHG’s costs. Any failure, or perceived failure, by UHG to comply with applicable data protection laws could result in proceedings or actions against UHG by governmental entities or others, subject UHG to significant fines, penalties, judgments and negative publicity, require UHG to change its business practices, increase the costs and complexity of compliance and adversely affect UHG’s business. As noted above, UHG is also subject to the possibility of cyber incidents or attacks, which themselves may result in a violation of these laws. Additionally, if UHG acquires a company that has violated or is not in compliance with applicable data protection laws, UHG may incur significant liabilities and penalties as a result.

Increasing attention to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters may impact UHG’s business, financial results or stock price.

In recent years, increasing attention has been given to corporate activities related to ESG matters in public discourse and the investment community. A number of advocacy groups, both domestically and internationally, have campaigned for governmental and private action to promote change at public companies related to ESG matters, including through the investment and voting practices of investment advisers, public pension funds, universities and other members of the investing community. These activities include increasing attention and demands for action related to climate change and promoting the use of energy saving building materials. A failure to comply with investor or customer expectations and standards, which are evolving, or if UHG is perceived to not have responded appropriately to the growing concern for ESG issues, regardless of whether there is a legal requirement to do so, could also cause reputational harm to UHG’s business and could have a material adverse effect on UHG. In addition, organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings systems for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. These ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings may lead to increased negative investor sentiment toward UHG and its industry and to the diversion of investment to other industries, which could have a negative impact on UHG’s stock price and access to and costs of capital.

Acts of war or terrorism may seriously harm UHG’s business.

Acts of war, any outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power or acts of terrorism may cause disruption to the U.S. economy, or the local economies of the markets in which UHG operates, cause shortages of building materials, increase costs associated with obtaining building materials, result in building code changes that could increase costs of construction, affect job growth and consumer confidence, or cause economic changes that UHG cannot anticipate. Each of these events could reduce demand for UHG’s homes and adversely impact its business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Negative publicity may affect UHG’s business performance and could affect its stock price.

Unfavorable media related to UHG’s industry, company, brands, marketing, personnel, operations, business performance, or prospects may affect its stock price and the performance of its business, regardless of the accuracy or inaccuracy of the media report. UHG’s success in maintaining, extending, and expanding its brand image depends on its ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment. Adverse publicity or negative commentary on social media outlets, such as blogs, websites, or newsletters, could hurt operating results, as consumers might avoid brands that receive bad press or negative reviews. Negative publicity may result in a decrease in operating results that could lead to a decline in the price of UHG’s securities and cause stockholders to lose all or a portion of their investment.

Table of Contents

Changes in accounting rules, assumptions and/or judgments could materially and adversely affect UHG.

Accounting rules and interpretations for certain aspects of UHG’s financial reporting are highly complex and involve significant assumptions and judgment. These complexities could lead to a delay in the preparation and dissemination of UHG’s financial statements. Furthermore, changes in accounting rules and interpretations or in UHG’s accounting assumptions and/or judgments, such as those related to asset impairments, could significantly impact UHG’s financial statements. In some cases, UHG could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in restating prior period financial statements. Any of these circumstances could have a material adverse effect on UHG’s business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Risk Management and Strategy

UHG recognizes the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard its information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its data. UHG has cybersecurity and risk management processes in place to adapt to the changing cybersecurity landscape and respond to emerging threats in a timely and effective manner. UHG leverages the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework, which organizes cybersecurity risks into five categories: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. UHG monitors its systems to assess cybersecurity risks and threats.

UHG’s information technology (IT) security team reviews enterprise risk management-level cybersecurity risks and reports on these findings. In addition, UHG has a set of company-wide policies and procedures that directly or indirectly relate to cybersecurity, such as policies related to antivirus protection, remote access, multifactor authentication, confidential information and the use of the internet, social media, email and wireless devices. These policies go through an internal review process and are approved by appropriate members of management.

Managing Material Risks & Integrated Overall Risk Management

UHG has integrated cybersecurity risk management into its broader risk management framework. This integration ensures that cybersecurity considerations are an integral part of UHG’s decision-making process. Members of UHG’s management work closely with the IT department to continuously evaluate and address cybersecurity risks in alignment with UHG’s business objectives and operational needs.

Engage Third Parties on Risk Management

Recognizing the complexity and evolving nature of cybersecurity threats, UHG’s IT personnel incorporate external resources and advisors as needed on cybersecurity planning, reporting, and monitoring. These third-party relationships enable UHG to leverage specialized knowledge and insights to ensure UHG’s cybersecurity strategies and processes are aligned with industry best practices. In addition to collaboration with various third parties, all of UHG’s employees are required to complete cybersecurity training at least once every year.

Oversee Third Party Risk

UHG utilizes various third-party software applications in the functioning of its core business. UHG conducts assessments of all third-party providers and maintains ongoing reviews to ensure compliance with its cybersecurity standards. The internal business owners of the hosted applications are required to document user access reviews at least annually and provide from the vendor a System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 or SOC 2 report. If a third party vendor is not able to provide a SOC 1 or SOC 2 report, UHG takes additional steps to assess their cybersecurity preparedness and assess its relationship on that basis. UHG’s assessment of risks associated with the use of third party providers is part of its overall cybersecurity framework.

Monitor Cybersecurity Incidents

UHG’s IT security team regularly monitors alerts and meets to discuss threat levels, trends, and remediation. The team also prepares a monthly report on cybersecurity threats and risk areas and conducts an annual risk assessment. This ongoing knowledge acquisition and continuing education is crucial for the effective prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. In the event a security incident is alerted, upper management and the incident response team will be notified and the steps identified in the Incident Response Plan, or IRP, will be initiated. This plan

Table of Contents

includes immediate actions to mitigate the impact and long-term strategies for remediation and prevention of future incidents.

Risks from Cybersecurity Threats

UHG faces risks from cybersecurity threats that could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reputation. For more information about the cybersecurity risks UHG faces, see the risk factor entitled “An information systems interruption or breach in security could adversely affect UHG” in Item 1A., Risk Factors. UHG has not encountered cybersecurity challenges that have materially impaired its operations or financial standing.

Governance

UHG’s Board is acutely aware of the critical nature of managing risks associated with cybersecurity threats, and recognizes the significance of these threats to UHG’s operational integrity and shareholder confidence.

Risk Management Personnel

UHG’s Chief Administrative Officer and the Director of IT are responsible for developing and implementing UHG’s information security program. UHG’s Chief Administrative Officer represented companies in IT integration, AI, and SaaS businesses over a span of two decades in private legal practice, and UHG’s Director of IT has more than 18 years of experience in data, application, and server security.

Board of Directors Oversight

The Audit Committee is central to the Board’s oversight of cybersecurity risks and bears the primary responsibility for this domain. The Audit Committee is composed of board members with diverse expertise including risk management and finance, equipping them to oversee cybersecurity risks effectively.

Management’s Role Managing Risk and Reporting to the Board

The Chief Administrative Officer and the Director of IT play a pivotal role in informing the Audit Committee on cybersecurity risks. They provide comprehensive briefings to the Audit Committee on a regular basis, with a minimum frequency of once per year. These briefings encompass a broad range of topics, including:

•Current cybersecurity landscape and emerging threats;

•Actions being taken by the Company to minimize or address such threats;

•Status of ongoing cybersecurity initiatives and strategies;

•Incident reports and learnings from any cybersecurity events; and

•Compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.

In addition to scheduled meetings, the Audit Committee, the Chief Administrative Officer and the Director of IT maintain an ongoing dialogue regarding emerging or potential cybersecurity risks. Together, they receive updates on any significant developments in the cybersecurity domain, ensuring the Board’s oversight is proactive and responsive. This involvement ensures that cybersecurity considerations are integrated into the broader strategic objectives. The Audit Committee conducts an annual review of the company’s cybersecurity posture and the effectiveness of its risk management strategies. This review helps in identifying areas for improvement and ensuring the alignment of cybersecurity efforts with the overall risk management framework.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References to the “Company,” “UHG,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to United Homes Group, Inc. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

UHG designs, builds and sells homes in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. The geographical markets in which UHG presently operates its homebuilding business are high-growth markets, with substantial in-migrations and employment growth. The Company employs a land-light lot operating strategy, with a focus on the design, construction and sale of entry-level, first, second and some third-time move-up single-family houses and custom builds. UHG principally builds detached single-family houses, and, to a lesser extent, attached single-family houses, including duplex houses and town houses.

Since its founding in 2004, UHG has delivered over 16,000 homes and currently builds in 57 active subdivisions at prices that generally range from approximately $200,000 to approximately $600,000. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, UHG had 1,227 and 1,399 net new orders, and generated approximately $406.7 million and $463.7 million in revenue on 1,192 and 1,431 closings, respectively.

UHG intends to grow organically, both arising out of its historical operations which may include entry into new markets and growth in community count, and through expansion of its mortgage joint venture Homeowners Mortgage. UHG expects that continued operation of Homeowners Mortgage will add to UHG’s revenue and EBITDA growth, improve buyer traffic conversion, and reduce backlog cancellation rates.

Fiscal year 2025 proved to be a challenging year for the homebuilding industry as market conditions reflected persistently elevated mortgage interest rates, affordability concerns, and overall macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. These headwinds, coupled with delayed new community openings predominately in the first half of 2025, negatively impacted several financial and operational metrics in 2025, including net new orders and closings which decreased by 12.3% and 16.7%, respectively, compared to 2024. In response to the current environment, the Company continues to provide discounts on base home prices and utilize various sales incentives, primarily in the form of buyer

Table of Contents

financing incentives such as mortgage rate buy downs, mortgage forward commitments, or cash incentives applied against closing costs.

In 2025, the Company remained focused on the execution of several key initiatives targeted at accelerating sales and improving gross margins. These operational enhancements included refreshing the Company’s portfolio of house plans, expanding customization options for buyers, and a strategic rebidding of supplier contracts to reduce direct construction costs. The Company’s ongoing efforts were able to offset heavier discounting during the year, which resulted in a slight increase in gross margin of 40 basis points when compared to the prior year.

UHG’s revenues decreased from approximately $463.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $406.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, UHG generated a net loss of approximately $16.3 million, which included deferred tax expense of $20.4 million related to a valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax assets, partially offset by a gain of $9.9 million related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, gross margin of 17.6%, adjusted gross margin of 19.7%, and adjusted EBITDA margin of 5.5%, representing a decrease of $63.2 million, and a percentage increase of 0.4%, and decreases of 0.2%, and 1.3%, respectively, from the year ended December 31, 2024.

Adjusted gross profit, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation of how UHG computes these non-GAAP financial measures and for reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Recent Developments

Merger Agreement

On February 22, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Stanley Martin Homes, LLC (“Parent”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to which the subsidiary will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to the Merger Agreement and any shares held by stockholders who properly exercise dissenters’ rights under applicable law) will be converted into the right to receive $1.18 in cash per share, without interest (the “Per Share Amount”). The Merger is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions. If the Merger is consummated, the Company’s common stock and warrants will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company will become a privately held company. Refer to Note 21 - Subsequent Events of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Risk Factors” for additional information.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of UHG's Financial Condition and Results of Operations

UHG’s historical financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented are not expected to be indicative of UHG’s future performance, either from period to period or going forward as a result of the following reasons:

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities includes certain stock options issued under the 2023 Plan, public and private warrants, common shares to be issued upon the achievement of certain future earnout conditions (“Earnout Shares”), and embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s term loan that are required to be bifurcated. These instruments were recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging and are marked to market at the end of each reporting period. With the exception of the public warrants, the fair values of each derivative liability are determined using Level 3 inputs. The models used to fair value the derivative liabilities rely on significant assumptions and inputs, including the Company’s stock price, which may cause volatility in the fair value each reporting period. Fluctuations in the fair value of derivative liabilities as a result of Level 3 inputs may impact the comparability of UHG’s results of operations.

Loss on Extinguishment of Convertible Notes

Loss on extinguishment of convertible notes relates to the Company’s redemption of its previously issued Convertible Notes on December 11, 2024 and is accounted for as a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC 405, Liabilities. The loss represents the difference between the total reacquisition price, including the make-whole amount, and the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes as of the redemption date. In connection with this transaction, the Company paid to the convertible note investors (a) an aggregate of $70.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and (b)

Table of Contents

an aggregate of 10,168,850 shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $4.41 per share. The loss on extinguishment is non-recurring in nature and is directly attributable to the early redemption of the Convertible Notes. As such, its recognition may impact the comparability of the Company’s results of operations for the period, as similar charges are not expected to recur absent additional debt modification or extinguishment transactions.

Income Tax Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2025, income tax expense for the period is primarily attributable to the Company’s recognition of a full valuation allowance of $20.4 million against its net deferred tax assets. The Company records deferred tax assets to the extent it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized based on an evaluation of available positive and negative evidence, including recent operating results and expectations regarding future taxable income. Based on this assessment, in 2025 management concluded that a full valuation allowance was appropriate.

The establishment of a full valuation allowance reflects management’s judgment regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets at a specific point in time and is reevaluated each reporting period based on the Company’s operating performance, future taxable income, and updated assessments of realizability. Accordingly, the resulting income tax expense for 2025 may impact the comparability of the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented.

Revenues: Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $406.7 million, a decrease of $57.0 million, from $463.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to the decrease in production-built home closings, partially offset by an increase of 3.7% in average sales price of production-built homes. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2024 closings included 60 build-to-rent units with significantly lower ASPs, compared to no build-to-rent closings for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decline in the total number

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit: Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $335.0 million, a decrease of $48.9 million, from $383.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in Cost of sales was largely attributable to a decrease in home closings of 16.7% compared to the same period in 2024.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $71.7 million, a decrease of $8.1 million, from $79.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 17.6%, an increase of 0.4%, as compared to 17.2% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue is attributable to a decrease in direct costs and interest as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by higher discounting.

Adjusted Gross Profit: Adjusted gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $80.1 million, a decrease of $12.3 million, as compared to $92.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 19.7%, a decrease of 0.2%, as compared to 19.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted gross margin decreased slightly due primarily to increased discounting, partially offset by reduced direct construction costs. Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the definition of adjusted gross profit and a reconciliation to UHG’s most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Selling, General and Administrative Expense: Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $71.8 million, a decrease of $2.9 million, from $74.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to a $5.8 million decrease in commission expense due to less broker incentives and fewer closings, a $1.1 million reduction in severance expense related to the June 2024 RIF, partially offset by increases in transaction costs of $1.5 million, and salaries and wages of $2.6 million.

Other Expense, Net: Total other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $9.3 million, a decrease of $3.2 million as compared to $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $3.3 million reduction in interest expense due to the refinance of the Company’s corporate debt.

Equity in Net Earnings from Investment in Joint Venture: Equity in net earnings from investment in joint venture for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1.1 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, as compared to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Goodwill Impairment: Goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1.1 million compared to no goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2025, management identified indicators of potential impairment associated with the Company’s business acquisitions, including a decline in market capitalization and a decline in performance compared to the original projected underwriting of the acquisitions. Consequently, the Company performed a quantitative impairment analysis in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other as of December 1, 2025. As a result of the quantitative assessment, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Loss on Extinguishment of Convertible Notes: Loss on extinguishment of Convertible Notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $45.6 million and is attributable to the redemption of the Convertible Notes that occurred in

Table of Contents

December 2024. As a result of the redemption, the Company paid to the Convertible Note Investors (a) an aggregate of $70.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date, and (b) an aggregate of 10,168,850 shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $4.41 per share. The majority of the loss on extinguishment of Convertible Notes is attributable to the make-whole payment of $37.1 million.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities: Change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was a gain of $9.9 million as compared to a gain of $88.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, derivative liabilities are marked to market each reporting period with changes recognized on the consolidated statements of operations. The overall increase is primarily attributable to changes in the fair value of the Earnout Shares, which fluctuates each period due to changes in the Company's stock price.

NM - Not Meaningful

Income before taxes for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $36.7 million from the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $78.7 million and a decrease in gross profit of $8.1 million, partially offset by the loss on extinguishment of Convertible Notes in the prior period of $45.6 million and a $3.3 million reduction in interest expense in Other expense, net.

GSH South Carolina: The $15.6 million decrease in income before taxes for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in closings of 18.6%, which resulted in lower gross profit, higher operating costs as a percentage of revenue and higher interest costs as a percentage of revenue.

Rosewood: The $0.4 million increase in pre-tax profitability for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily attributable to an increase of 33.3% in home closings coupled with a 5.5% increase in gross margin, partially offset by increased operating expenses and $0.6 million of goodwill impairment incurred in the year ended December 31, 2025.

Other: The $1.7 million increase in pre-tax profitability for Raleigh for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily attributable to a $2.2 million decrease in operating expenses caused by reduced severance and salaries costs, partially offset by $0.5 million in goodwill impairment incurred in the year ended December 31, 2025.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit): Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $16.7 million as compared to an income tax benefit of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate as of December 31, 2025 is 3,351.3% as compared to (26.1)% as of December 31, 2024. The change in the estimated annual effective tax rate was primarily driven by the establishment of a full valuation allowance of $20.4 million against the Company’s net deferred tax assets, and a $36.7 million reduction in income before taxes.

Table of Contents

Net New Orders: Net new orders for a period is gross sales of homes less any customer cancellations received during the same period. Net new orders for the year ended December 31, 2025 were 1,227 units, a decrease of 172 units, from 1,399 units for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Cancellation Rate: The cancellation rate is the total cancellations during the period divided by the total number of new sales for homes during the period. The cancellation rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 13.0%, an increase of 1.6%, from 11.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Backlog: Backlog consists of homes sold but not yet closed with customers. Backlog represents the number of homes in backlog from the previous period plus sales of homes during the current period less cancellations of existing sales contracts and home closings during the current period. A portion of the homes in backlog will not result in homes delivered due to cancellations.

Backlog as of December 31, 2025 was 192 units, an increase of 35 units, from 157 units as of December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Gross Profit

Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management of the Company as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines adjusted gross profit as gross profit excluding the effects of capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales, amortization included in homebuilding cost of sales, abandoned project costs, severance expense in cost of sales, and non-recurring remediation costs. The Company’s management believes this information is meaningful because it separates the impact that capitalized interest and non-recurring costs directly expensed in cost of sales have on gross profit to provide a more specific measurement of the Company’s gross profits. However, because adjusted gross profit information excludes certain balances expensed in cost of sales, which have real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results of operations, the utility of adjusted gross profit information as a measure of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. Other companies may not calculate adjusted gross profit information in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted gross profit information should be considered only as a supplement to gross profit information as a measure of the Company’s performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted gross profit to the GAAP financial measure of gross profit for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages).

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management of the Company. The Company defines EBITDA as net income before (i) capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales, (ii) interest expensed in other (expense) income, net, (iii) depreciation and amortization, and (iv) taxes. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense, transaction cost expense, amortization included in homebuilding cost of sales, severance expense, abandoned project costs, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, loss on extinguishment of Convertible Notes, and non-recurring remediation costs. Management of the Company believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful because they provide a more effective evaluation of UHG’s operating performance and allow comparison of UHG’s results of operations from period to period without regard to UHG’s financing methods or capital structure or other items that impact comparability of financial results from period to period such as fluctuations in interest expense or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. UHG’s computations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

UHG funds its operations from its current cash holdings and cash flows generated by operating activities, as well as borrowings under the revolving credit facility (“Syndicated Line”), as further described below. As of December 31, 2025, UHG had approximately $24.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $1.8 million, from $22.6 million as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, UHG had approximately $56.4 million and $96.4 million, respectively, in unused committed capacity, calculated in accordance with the Syndicated Line.

In December 2024, the Company redeemed the Convertible Notes by paying the outstanding principal and interest amounts plus a make-whole amount, consisting of (a) an aggregate of $70.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest, and (b) an aggregate of 10,168,850 shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $4.41 per share. The Company financed the transaction, in part, by entering into a Credit Agreement with a third party that provides for a term loan of $70.0 million. Refer to Note 9 - Debt and Note 14 - Convertible Notes Payable for additional information.

UHG believes that its current cash holdings including cash generated from continuing operations and cash available under the Syndicated Line will be sufficient to satisfy its short term and long term cash requirements for working capital to support its daily operations and meet current commitments under its contractual obligations. The Company’s liquidity and profitability could be adversely impacted by continued operational headwinds or future events of default on the Company’s existing debt.

Cash flows used in and generated by UHG’s projects can differ materially in timing from its results of operations, as these depend upon the stage in the life cycle of each project. UHG generally relies upon its syndicated line of credit to fund building costs, and timing of draws is such that UHG may from time to time be in receipt of funds from the Syndicated Line in advance of such funds being utilized. UHG is generally required to make significant cash outlays at the beginning of a project related to lot purchases, permitting, and construction of homes, as well as ongoing property taxes. These costs are capitalized within UHG’s real estate inventory and are not recognized in its operating income until a home sale closes. As a result, UHG incurs significant cash outflows prior to the recognition of associated earnings. In later stages of projects, cash inflows could exceed UHG’s results of operations, as the cash outflows associated with land purchase and home construction and other expenses were previously incurred.

Table of Contents

The Company’s strategy is to acquire developed lots through third party and related party land developers and land bank partners pursuant to lot purchase agreements and land banking arrangements. When entering into these contracts, the Company agrees to purchase finished lots at predetermined prices, time frames, and quantities that match expected selling pace in the community. Most lot purchase agreements require the Company to pay a nonrefundable cash deposit of approximately 15% - 20% of the agreed-upon fixed purchase price of the developed lots. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had lot deposits of $40.5 million related to option contracts with an aggregate remaining purchase price of $270.6 million. Refer to Note 2 - Variable Interest Entities of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” for additional information.

Capital Resources

Syndicated Line of Credit

The Syndicated Line provides for an aggregate commitment of up to $220.0 million, subject to borrowing base limitations, of which the Company had outstanding borrowings of $78.2 million as of December 31, 2025. The Syndicated Line also includes a $2.0 million letter of credit sub-facility under the same terms and conditions. The Company had $56.4 million of availability under the Syndicated Line, based on its borrowing base of $136.0 million. The borrowing base up to the aggregate commitment generates availability in accordance with the value of the collateral at a given point. The availability under the Syndicated Line, which impacts total liquidity, is reduced by outstanding letters of credit that are not fully cash collateralized. As of December 31, 2025, the Syndicated Line had a weighted average interest rate of 7.48% and will mature on August 2, 2027 except with respect to two non-extending lenders which represent $73.3 million of the committed amount and will mature August 10, 2026.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company executed an amendment to the Syndicated Line, which, among other things, modified certain financial covenants. Additional details regarding the amendment and the Syndicated Line are provided in Note 9 - Debt of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Syndicated Line.

Term Loan

In 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, GSH, Kennedy Lewis Agency Partners, LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) pursuant to which the Lenders thereunder funded a $70.0 million subordinated term loan, the proceeds of which were used to redeem the outstanding convertible promissory notes from the Selling Stockholders.

The term loan has an outstanding balance of $67.5 million as of December 31, 2025, and matures on the earlier of December 11, 2030, the maturity date under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or the acceleration of indebtedness under the Syndicated Line. The weighted average interest rate of the loan was 11.52% as of December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 9 - Debt of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report for additional information.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company executed an amendment to the term loan, which, among other things, modified certain financial covenants. Additional details regarding the amendment and the term loan are provided in Note 9 - Debt of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. The term loan includes customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company that are described in Note 9 - Debt of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Leases

The Company leases several office spaces in South Carolina under operating lease agreements with related parties, and one office space in North Carolina with a third party. In addition, the Company leases certain model homes from related parties and third parties. The leases have a remaining lease term of up to three years, some of which include options to extend on a month-to-month basis, and some of which include options to terminate the lease. These options are excluded from the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability until it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. As of December 31, 2025, the future minimum lease payments required under these leases totaled $2.2 million, with $0.9 million payable within 12 months. Further information regarding the Company’s leases is provided in Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Net cash flows used in investing activities	(1,890)		(12,586)
Net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities	21,640		(33,980)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $19.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The difference in cash flows year over year is $35.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was driven by an increase in inventory of $33.2 million due to an increase in the Company’s active community count from 46 to 57, partially offset by an increase in net income adjusted for non-cash transactions of $1.4 million, and a decrease in cash used in accounts payable and other accrued expenses and liabilities of $10.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, cash flows provided by operating activities was driven by cash provided by inventory of $45.6 million due to the Company’s efforts to move aged inventory and net income adjusted for non-cash transactions of $2.9 million, partially offset by an increase in cash used in accounts payable and lot deposits of $21.2 million and $12.1 million, respectively.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The difference in cash flows year over year is $10.7 million. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily attributable to cash paid to acquire Creekside Custom Homes of $12.7 million in 2024, partially offset by an increase in purchases of property and equipment, specifically model home furnishings.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $34.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The difference in cash flows year over year is $55.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025 cash flows provided by financing activities were primarily attributable to net proceeds from the Syndicated Line of $28.0 million, partially offset by repayments of financing liabilities from real estate inventory not owned of $6.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash flows used in financing activities were primarily due to net cash used of $2.9 million to redeem the Convertibles Notes and issue the term loan, net repayments of $35.0 million to the Syndicated Line and other debt, and debt issuance costs of $2.8 million, partially offset by net proceeds of $6.7 million related to financing liabilities from real estate inventory not owned.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

UHG prepared the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Its critical accounting estimates are those that it believes have the most significant impact to the presentation of its financial position and results of operations and that require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP without the need for the application of judgment.

In certain circumstances, however, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires UHG to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

While UHG’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report, UHG believes the following topics reflect the critical accounting policies and the more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

UHG recognizes revenue upon meeting its performance obligations. Home sale transactions typically have a single performance obligation to deliver a completed home to the homebuyer which is generally satisfied at a point in time when control of the home is transferred to the customer. Control is considered to be transferred to the customer at the time of closing when the title and possession of the home are received by the homebuyer. Little to no estimation is involved in recognizing such revenues. Revenue is reported net of any discounts and incentives.

Table of Contents

Revenues from home sales in which the buyer retains title to the homesite while UHG builds the home are recognized over time based on the percentage of completion of the home construction as that is considered to represent the transfer of control. Percentage of completion is based on costs incurred as compared to total estimated project costs.

Real Estate Inventory and Cost of Home Sales

Inventory includes pre-acquisition land costs, land under development, developed lots, homes under construction, and finished homes.

UHG relies on certain estimates to determine its construction and land development costs. Construction and land costs are comprised of direct and allocated costs, including estimated future costs. In determining these costs, UHG compiles project budgets that are based on a variety of assumptions, including future construction schedules and costs to be incurred. Actual results can differ from budgeted amounts for various reasons, including construction delays, labor or material shortages, slower absorptions, increases in costs that have not yet been committed, changes in governmental requirements, or other unanticipated issues encountered during construction and development and other factors beyond UHG’s control. To address uncertainty in these budgets, UHG assesses, updates and revises project budgets on a regular basis, utilizing the most current information available to estimate home construction and land development costs.

Developed lot and pre-acquisition land costs are typically allocated to individual residential lots on a per lot basis based on specific costs incurred for the acquisition of the lot. At the time construction of the home begins, developed lot and pre-acquisition land costs are transferred to homes under construction within inventory. Sold units are expensed to cost of sales based on a specific identification basis. Cost of sales consists of specific construction costs of each home, estimated warranty costs, allocated developed lot costs, and closing costs applicable to the home.

Inventories are carried at the lower of accumulated cost or net realizable value. UHG periodically reviews the performance and outlook of its inventories for indicators of potential impairment.

UHG records rebates with certain suppliers as a reduction in cost of sales based on a specific identification basis. At the time of closing, costs that were incurred as part of the construction of the home but not paid at the time of closing are accrued. The accrual is recorded within cost of sales.

Stock-Based Compensation

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has four types of stock-based compensation outstanding: stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) with a market condition and stock warrants. Stock option, RSU, and PSU awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award from the date of grant through the period of the last separately vesting portion of the grant. For grants that include graded vesting and either a market or performance condition, the Company utilizes the graded vesting method to recognize compensation expense. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. The Company’s stock warrant awards do not contain a service condition and were expensed on the grant date.

The fair value of stock option awards, granted or modified, is determined on the grant date (or modification or acquisition dates, if applicable) at fair value, using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The fair value and requisite service period of PSU awards with a market condition are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. These models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option's expected term and stock price volatility. The grant date fair value of the RSUs is the closing price of UHG’s common stock on the date of the grant. Refer to Note 15 - Stock-Based Compensation of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report for additional information.

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative liabilities are recognized at fair value and are subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Depending on the nature of the derivative liability, the Company may utilize, with the assistance of a third party valuation expert, Monte Carlo simulation models, Black-Scholes option pricing models, or discounted cash flow models, each adjusted for instrument-specific terms. Due to the nature of the Company’s derivative instruments, the Company may use Level 3 inputs for estimating fair value.

Table of Contents

Changes in estimates and assumptions used to fair value the Company’s derivative instruments from period to period could be material to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Refer to Note 5 - Fair Value Measurement, Note 9 - Debt, Note 15 - Stock-Based Compensation, Note 16 - Earnout Shares, Note 17 - Warrant Liability of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to those instruments that the Company accounts for as a derivative liability.

Business Acquisitions and Valuation of Contingent Consideration

The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method. Under ASC 805, Business Combinations, a business combination occurs when an entity obtains control of a “business.” The Company determines whether or not the gross assets acquired meet the definition of a business. If they meet this criteria, the Company accounts for the transaction as a business acquisition. If they do not meet this criteria the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognized in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issuance of debt or equity securities. Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition and is based on expected cash flow of the acquisition target discounted over time using an observable market discount rate. The Company generally utilizes outside valuation experts to determine the amount of contingent consideration. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in Other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company analyzes goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis as of October 1 of each year using a two-step process. The first step is a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is performed to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company may, at its election, skip the qualitative assessment and move directly to the second step. In the quantitative assessment, the evaluation of goodwill for possible impairment includes estimating fair value using one or a combination of valuation techniques, including discounted expected future cash flows. These valuation techniques require significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal projections, estimation of the long-term growth rate for the business, and determination of the respective weighted-average cost of capital. Although the Company believes its assumptions and estimates are reasonable, deviations from the assumptions and estimates could produce a materially different result.

If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the excess of the carrying amount over the reporting unit’s fair value. During the fourth quarter of 2025, management identified indicators of goodwill impairment, such as, decline in market capitalization and reduced operating performance. Based on these factors, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The fair value of the reporting units were estimated using both and income approach (discounted cash flow model) and market approaches (guideline public company method and guideline transaction method), consistent with valuation methods used historically. The quantitative impairment assessment requires the application of a number of significant assumptions, including estimates of future revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, net working capital and capital expenditure requirements, long term growth rate, discount rates, and market multiples. As a result of the quantitative assessment, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. There was no goodwill impairment recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.

If the Company's market capitalization continues to deteriorate or if factors utilized in the impairment test deteriorate, the Company may have to record additional impairment charges in future periods.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Land-Light Acquisition Strategy

The Company’s land-light strategy is accomplished in two ways - lot option contracts with third party and related party land developers and land bank option contracts. These option contracts grant the right, but not the obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time at predetermined prices from various land developers and land bank partners. The Company has the right to cancel or terminate the option contracts at any time for any reason. The legal obligation and economic loss resulting from a cancellation or termination is limited to the amount of the deposits paid pursuant to such option contracts as well as capitalized pre-acquisition land costs such as lot option fees paid to the land bank partner. In certain circumstances, the Company may have a completion obligation under development agreements with land bankers where the Company may be at-risk for certain cost overruns.

UHG’s pipeline as of December 31, 2025 consists of approximately 7,200 lots, which includes lots that UHG may acquire from third party lot option contracts or land bank option contracts, in addition to lots that are owned or controlled by related parties, and which UHG expects to obtain the contractual right to acquire. The risk of loss pertaining to the aggregate purchase price of contractual commitments resulting from non-performance under finished lot purchase agreements is limited to approximately $40.5 million in lot deposits and $13.5 million of capitalized pre-acquisition land costs as of December 31, 2025.

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

During the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into surety bonds and letters of credit arrangements with local municipalities, government agencies, and land developers. These arrangements relate to certain performance-related obligations and serve as security for certain land option agreements.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $9.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company believes it will fulfill its obligations under the related contracts and does not anticipate any material losses under these surety bonds or letters of credit.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

UHG’s operations are interest rate sensitive. As overall housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates, a significant increase in interest rates may negatively affect the ability of homebuyers to secure adequate financing. Higher interest rates could adversely affect UHG’s revenues, gross profits and net income.

UHG is subject to market risk on its debt instruments primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company currently utilizes variable-rate debt. For variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument, but may affect the Company’s future earnings and cash flows. UHG has not entered into, nor does it intend to enter into in the future, derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes or to hedge against interest rate fluctuations.

The interest rate on the borrowings under the Syndicated Line is based upon adjusted daily simple SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging between 275 basis points and 350 basis points, based upon UHG’s leverage ratio. In addition, the interest rate on the borrowings under the term loan is based upon adjusted daily simple SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging between 675 basis points and 775 basis points, based upon UHG’s leverage ratio. Therefore, UHG is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on its outstanding debt under the Syndicated Line and term loan. As of December 31, 2025, UHG had $78.2 million and $67.5 million outstanding under the Syndicated Line and term loan, respectively, which carried weighted average interest rates of 7.48% and 11.52%, respectively. A 100 basis point increase in overall interest rates would negatively affect the Company’s net income by approximately $1.5 million.

On September 10, 2022, DHHC entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Hestia Merger Sub, Inc., a South Carolina corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of DHHC (“Hestia Merger Sub”), and Great Southern Homes, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (“GSH”). Upon the consummation of the transaction on March 30, 2023, Hestia Merger Sub merged with and into GSH. As a result of the transaction, GSH became a wholly owned subsidiary of DHHC, which changed its name to UHG.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and instructions to Form 10-K and Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Any investments in joint ventures in which the Company has less than a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method. The amounts presented in millions within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are computed based on the amounts in thousands, and therefore, the sum of the components may not equal the total amount presented in millions due to rounding.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is not an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management continually evaluates the estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements and updates those estimates as necessary. In general, UHG’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates made by management.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to be cash and all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents also include cash proceeds from home closings that are in-transit or held by the Company’s third-party escrow agents for the Company’s benefit. The home closing proceeds are generally received in less than five days and are considered to be deposits in transit. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $0.5 million and zero deposits in transit, respectively.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with various financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures up to $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts at each financial institution. The Company’s cash accounts at various times during the year are in excess of the insured amount, and the Company could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily relates to cash held in escrow that is restricted for land development activities.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at cost less an allowance for potential credit losses. Management’s determination of the allowance for potential credit losses is based on an evaluation of the accounts receivable, historical experience, current economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the accounts receivable portfolio.

Inventories and Cost of Sales

The carrying value of inventory is stated at cost unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable from the sales prices expected from future home sales, in which case, an inventory impairment exists. The Company reviews the performance and outlook of its inventories for indicators of potential impairment on a community level. Any calculated impairments are recorded immediately in cost of sales. Inventory consists of pre-acquisition land costs, land under development, developed lots, homes under construction, and finished homes.

–Pre-acquisition land costs - Pre-acquisition land costs include due diligence costs (such as environmental testing, surveys, engineering, and entitlement costs) related to potential land acquisitions. Costs related to finished lots or land under development held by third-party land bank partners incurred prior to the Company’s purchase of the land, including closing costs, lot option fees, property taxes and due diligence costs, both incurred and estimated to be incurred, are also capitalized into pre-acquisition land costs.

–Land under development - On a limited basis, the Company acquires raw parcels of land already zoned for its intended use to develop into finished lots, and includes land acquisition costs, direct improvement costs, capitalized interest, and real estate taxes.

–Developed lots - This inventory consists of land that has been developed for or acquired by the Company and where vertical construction is imminent. Developed lot costs are typically allocated to individual residential lots on a per lot basis based on specific costs incurred for the acquisition of the lot.

–Homes under construction - At the time construction of the home begins, developed lots and any pre-acquisition land costs are transferred to homes under construction within inventory. This inventory represents costs associated with active homebuilding activities which include, predominately, field labor, materials, overhead costs related to home construction, capitalized interest, and real estate taxes.

–Finished homes - This inventory represents substantially completed but unsold homes at the end of the reporting period. Costs incurred in connection with completed homes are expensed as incurred.

The Company capitalizes interest to homes under construction during active development of the home in accordance with ASC 835, Interest. Capitalized interest is transferred to finished homes when development is substantially completed and expensed to cost of sales upon the sale of the home. During periods in which the Company’s active inventory is lower than its debt level, a portion of the interest incurred is reflected as interest expense within Other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations in the period incurred.

Upon settlement, costs associated with units sold are expensed to cost of sales based on a specific identification basis. Costs of sales consists of specific construction costs of each home, estimated warranty costs, allocated developed lots, and closing costs applicable to the home. In addition, the Company receives rebates with certain suppliers for the use of their product. The Company records the receipt of the rebate as a reduction in cost of sales based on a specific identification basis. At the time of closing, the Company performs an analysis to accrue for costs that were incurred as part

Table of Contents

of the construction of the home but unpaid at the time of closing. The costs are recorded in Cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

Real Estate Inventory Not Owned

In 2024, the Company entered into a land banking arrangement which resulted in the Company selling certain finished lots it owned to a land banker and simultaneously entering into option contracts to repurchase those finished lots. In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers, these transactions are considered a financing arrangement rather than a sale because of the Company's option to repurchase these finished lots at a higher price. The amounts recognized as liabilities from real estate inventory not owned represent the net cash received from the land banking arrangement, consistent with ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers. The liabilities from real estate inventory not owned are excluded from the Company's debt covenant calculations.

Lot Deposits

The Company enters into lot option contracts with third party and related party land developers, and land bank option contracts. Most option contracts require the Company to pay a nonrefundable cash deposit of approximately 15% - 20% of the agreed-upon fixed purchase price of the developed lots. In exchange for the deposit, the Company receives the right to purchase the finished developed lot at a preestablished price over a specified period of time. Such agreements enable the Company to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by land sellers and land bank partners until the Company determines whether and when to complete such acquisition, which may serve to reduce the financial risks associated with long-term land holdings. The Company transfers the deposit to inventory upon receipt of the title of the lot. The Company writes off lot deposits and any associated pre-acquisition land costs to cost of sales if it becomes probable that the Company will not proceed with the project or recover the capitalized costs.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is allocated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful life of each asset group is summarized below:


Asset Group						Estimated Useful Lives
Furniture and fixtures						5 to 7 years
Model home furnishings						Lesser of 3 years or the life of the community
Buildings						40 years
Leasehold improvements						Lesser of 40 years or the lease term
Machinery and equipment						5 to 7 years
Office equipment						5 to 7 years
Vehicles						5 years

Normal repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, whereas significant improvements which materially increase the value or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the related assets.

Upon sale or retirement of depreciable assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts. Any gain or loss on the sale or retirement of the depreciable asset is recognized as Other expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, and consist of the estimated fair value of tradenames, architectural designs, and noncompete agreements acquired in connection with acquisitions. The identified finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. Amortization expense associated with intangible assets is recorded to Selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The estimated useful life of each asset group is summarized below:

Table of Contents


Asset Group			Estimated Useful Lives
Tradenames			7 years
Architectural designs			3 to 7 years
Non-compete agreement			2 years

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate an impairment might exist.

Recoverability of assets is measured by the expected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset group compared to the carrying amounts of the asset group. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value is charged to current earnings. Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions and appraisal.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, management identified certain events and conditions which may suggest a change in fair value of its long-lived assets (i.e., decline in market capitalization and a decline in performance compared to the original projected underwriting of the acquisitions), which prompted management to perform an impairment analysis in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. As a result of the analysis performed no impairment was identified within the Company’s asset groups as of December 31, 2025.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business acquisition. See Note 4 - Business Acquisitions, for details on recent acquisitions. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis as of October 1 of each year. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative or quantitative assessment to determine whether the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting units and other entity and reporting unit specific events. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is performed to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the excess of the carrying amount over the reporting unit’s fair value. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill assessment which resulted in goodwill impairment. See Note 8 - Goodwill for additional details on impairment charges recorded.

Business Acquisitions

The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method. Under ASC 805, Business Combination, a business acquisition occurs when an entity obtains control of a “business.” The Company determines whether or not the gross assets acquired meet the definition of a business. If they meet this criteria, the Company accounts for the transaction as a business acquisition. If they do not meet this criteria the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognized in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issuance of debt or equity securities. Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition and is based on expected cash flow of the acquisition target discounted over time using an observable market discount rate. The Company generally utilizes outside valuation experts to determine the amount of contingent consideration. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in Selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

In evaluating the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”), management analyzes the Company’s investments and transactions under the variable interest model to determine if they are VIEs and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. Management determines whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion if changes to the Company’s involvement arise. To make this determination, management considers factors such as whether the Company could direct finance, determine or limit the scope of the entity, sell or transfer property, direct development or direct other operating decisions. The primary beneficiary is defined as the entity having both of the following characteristics: 1) the power to direct the activities that

Table of Contents

most significantly impact the VIE’s performance, and 2) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive returns from the VIE that would be potentially significant to the VIE. Management consolidates the entity if the Company is the primary beneficiary or if a standalone primary beneficiary does not exist and the Company and its related parties collectively meet the definition of a primary beneficiary. If the investment does not qualify as a VIE under the variable interest model, management then evaluates the entity under the voting interest model to assess if consolidation is appropriate.

Debt Issuance Costs

Loan costs that qualify as debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s syndicated line of credit are capitalized and amortized over the term of the line of credit on a straight-line basis in accordance with ASC 835, Interest. These debt issuance costs are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets. Loan costs that qualify as debt issuance costs associated with the land bank agreements and term loans are recorded as a contra-liability and amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method in accordance with ASC 835, Interest. These debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the associated debt on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9 - Debt for further details.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of UHG common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of UHG common shares outstanding for the period plus the assumed exercise of all dilutive UHG securities using the treasury stock method for stock grants and warrants and the if-converted method for Convertible Notes. See Note 20 - Earnings per Share for further details.

Investment in Joint Venture

UHG holds a 49% interest in Homeowners Mortgage, LLC (the “Homeowners Mortgage”), which is jointly owned with an unrelated third party. Homeowners Mortgage operates with the purpose of assisting homebuyers through the homebuying experience. If any future distributions are made, they generally will be based on a pro rata basis, based on the Company’s respective equity interest in Homeowners Mortgage.

The Company accounts for its investment in Homeowners Mortgage under the equity method of accounting, as it determined that the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the venture, but does not have control. Under the equity method, the investment in the unconsolidated joint venture is recorded initially at cost, as investment in joint venture, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings, cash contributions, less distributions and impairments. For cash flow classification, to the extent distributions do not exceed cumulative earnings, the Company designates such distributions as return on capital. Distributions in excess of cumulative earnings are treated as return of capital.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company received $1.6 million and $2.2 million from Homeowners Mortgage as distributions. There were no additional capital contributions for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Additionally, there were no impairment losses related to the Company’s investment in Homeowners Mortgage recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense within Selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations for certain stock-based payment arrangements, which include stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) and stock warrants.

In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards is based on the grant date fair value. For any awards that do not contain a market condition, the Company estimates fair value using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. For any awards that contain a market condition, the Company estimates fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The grant date fair value of RSUs is the closing price of UHG’s common stock on the date of the grant. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur rather than applying a prospective forfeiture rate in advance. See Note 15 - Stock-Based Compensation for further details.

The Company recognizes expense for stock-based payment awards based on their varying vesting conditions as follows:

–Awards with service-based vesting conditions only - Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

Table of Contents

–Awards with performance-based vesting conditions - Expense is not recognized until it is determined that it is probable the performance-based conditions will be met. When achievement of a performance-based condition is probable, a catch-up expense will be recorded as if the award had been vesting on a straight-line basis from the award date. The award will continue to be expensed on a straight-line basis until the probability of achieving the performance-based condition changes, if applicable.

–Awards with graded vesting conditions and market or performance-based vesting conditions - Expense is recognized using the graded vesting method over the requisite service period of the award.

–Awards with no service or performance-based vesting conditions - Expense is recognized immediately upon the grant date of the award.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. Leases are recognized when the contract provides the Company the right to use an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are included in Operating right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and Operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an explicit borrowing rate, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date, in determining the present value of the lease payments. In determining an incremental borrowing rate, the Company considers the lease term, credit risk of the lessee and the lease, the size of the lease payments, the current economic environment affecting the lessee and the lease, and the collateralized nature of the lease. The ROU assets also include any lease payments made, reduced by any lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in Selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company applies the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components when accounting for ROU assets and lease liabilities of all asset classes.

Variable lease costs represent additional expenses incurred by the Company that are not included in the lease payment. These costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) on the consolidated balance sheets. Instead, these expenses are recognized as incurred.

From time to time, the Company may enter into sale-leaseback transactions with third parties and related parties. Unless otherwise noted, UHG accounts for sale-leaseback transactions at their contractually stated terms. As the leases do not provide an explicit borrowing rate, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on information available as of the lease commencement date. Refer to Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail on these transactions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues consist primarily of home sales in the United States. Home sale transactions are made under fixed price contracts which primarily have a contract duration of one year or less. The Company generally determines the selling price per home based on the expected cost plus a margin. Home sale transactions typically have one single performance obligation to deliver a completed home to the homebuyer which is generally satisfied when the closing conditions are met. The Company elected the practical expedient that allows the Company to not assess a contract for a significant financing component if the period between a customer’s payment and the transfer of goods or services is one year or less. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no significant financing components were present in the Company’s contracts.

Performance obligations are generally satisfied at a point in time, when the control of the home is transferred to the customer. Control is considered to be transferred to the customer at the time of closing when the title and possession of the home are received by the homebuyer. The Company generally requires initial cash deposits from the homebuyer at the time the sales contract is executed which is held by a third-party escrow agent. The remaining consideration to which the Company is entitled to is received at the time of closing through an escrow agent, typically within five days or less of the closing date. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, revenue recognized at a point in time from speculative home closings totaled $405.8 million and $461.1 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

In some contracts, the Company is contracted to construct a home or homes on underlying land the customer controls. For these specific contracts, the performance obligation is satisfied over time, as the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls. The Company recognizes revenue for these contracts using the input method based on costs incurred as compared to total estimated project costs. The Company has determined that the cost-based input method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods or services to the customer. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, revenue recognized over time from construction activities on land owned by customers totaled $0.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

For homes with revenue recognized over time, a large portion of the Company’s contracts with these customers and the related performance obligations have an original expected duration of one year or less. As a result, the Company applies the practical expedient and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for these contracts.

The Company periodically bills these customers over the term of the project and performs a quarterly analysis between billings and revenue recognized. The Company records a contract asset when work performed by the Company is greater than the amount billed. Conversely, the Company records deferred revenue when the amount billed is greater than the work performed. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a contract asset of less than $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which is included in Prepaid expense and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a de minimis amount of deferred revenue which is included in Other accrued expenses and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Substantially all deferred revenue is recognized in revenue within twelve months of being received from customers.

The Company frequently performs reviews of all contracts to estimate profitability in the future. If the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on a contract, the Company recognizes the total estimated loss at the time it is fully determinable. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize a loss on any contracts.

Sales discounts and incentives include price concessions on the selling price of a home and seller-paid financing or closing costs, including rate buydowns. Concurrent with the recognition of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations, sales incentives in the form of price concessions on the selling price of a home are recorded as a reduction of revenues. All other sales incentives are recognized as a cost of selling the home and are included in cost of sales. Revenues include forfeited deposits, which occur when home sale contracts that include a nonrefundable deposit are cancelled. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, revenues from forfeited deposits were $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The Company determined that costs to obtain a contract include sales commission paid to agents and brokers for selling services to attract home buyers into sales agreements. The contract term is typically the closing date when the title and consideration are exchanged. The Company applies the practical expedient associated with ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred, i.e., when the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred and includes such costs within Selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $3.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in advertising and marketing costs.

Warranties

The Company establishes warranty liability reserves to provide for estimated future expenses as a result of construction or product defects identified throughout the coverage period. The Company provides all homebuyers with (i) a one-year warranty on the original installation of the material and workmanship; (ii) a two-year warranty on certain systems that include but are not limited to plumbing, electrical and HVAC and; (iii) a ten-year warranty for structural integrity of the home. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under these warranties and records a liability in the expected amount of such costs at the time revenues associated with sales are recognized. The Company records the estimated warranty accrual within Other accrued expenses and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to the reserves are included in Cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company analyzes historical claims experience combined with the number of homes delivered to estimate the amount to accrue per home for warranty costs. This estimation process takes into consideration such factors as the likely current cost of corrective action, manufacturers’ and subcontractors’ participation in sharing the cost of corrective action, and consultations with engineers. The warranty accrual is periodically evaluated for adequacy and any accrual adjustments are made on a per unit basis if deemed necessary.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is “more-likely-than not” that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, all evidence, both positive and negative, is evaluated.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes, including those resulting from the late filing of tax returns within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company analyzes its tax filing positions in the U.S. federal, state, and local tax jurisdictions where the Company is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. If, based on this analysis, the Company determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established.

Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties under GAAP. The Company reviews its tax positions quarterly and adjusts its tax balances as new legislation is enacted or new information becomes available.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. In circumstances where a financial instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as separate derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The Company recognizes earnout shares, certain warrant instruments, a term loan embedded derivative, and certain stock options as derivative liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period until they are exercised or issued, respectively. See Note 5 - Fair Value Measurement, Note 9 - Debt, Note 15 - Stock-Based Compensation, Note 16 - Earnout Shares, and Note 17 - Warrant Liability for further details.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, 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 the Company as an emerging growth company, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. 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. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires entities to disclose specified details about costs and expenses within the notes to the financial statements. This ASU mandates that entities, at each interim and annual period, disclose the amounts of (a) inventory purchases, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depletion, depreciation, and amortization for oil and gas activities included within each relevant expense caption presented on the income statement within continuing operations. Entities are also required to (1) combine certain disclosures already mandated under GAAP with these new requirements, (2) provide qualitative descriptions of expenses that are not disaggregated quantitatively, and (3) disclose total selling expenses and, annually, the definition of selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Note 2 - Variable Interest Entities

The Company enters into lot option contracts with third party and related party land developers, and land bank option contracts to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Under these option contracts, the Company funds a stated deposit in consideration for the right, but not the obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time at predetermined prices. Such contracts allow the Company to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by land sellers or land bank partners until the Company has determined whether and when to exercise the option, which may serve to reduce the Company’s financial risks associated with long-term land holdings. Under the terms of the option contracts, the option deposits are not refundable. Management determined it holds a variable interest through its potential to absorb some of the land seller and land bank partners’ first dollar risk of loss by placing a non-refundable deposit. Management determined that these counterparties to option contracts are VIE’s, however the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it does not have the power to direct the VIE’s significant activities related to land development and therefore does not consolidate these VIEs. The creditors of the entities with which the Company has option agreements have no recourse against the Company and the maximum exposure to loss due to its involvement with the VIEs is limited to the non-refundable lot deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition land costs. In certain instances where the Company has entered into option contracts to purchase developed lots from a land bank partner, the Company may also enter into an agreement to complete the development of the lots on behalf of the land bank partner at a fixed cost. The Company may be at risk for cost overruns related to the development of the property under option.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had lot deposits of $40.5 million related to option contracts with an aggregate remaining purchase price of $270.6 million. As of December 31, 2024 the Company had lot deposits of $48.2 million related to option contracts with an aggregate remaining purchase price of $352.2 million. The Company incurred less than $0.1 million and $0.5 million in forfeited option contract deposits during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In limited circumstances, the Company may transfer developed lots it owns to a land banker and simultaneously enter into an option contract to repurchase those lots. In this instance, consistent with ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers, the Company is required to continue recognizing the finished lots sold on its consolidated balance sheets as the transaction is accounted for as a financing arrangement rather than a sale. At the time the Company sells finished lots to the land banker and simultaneously enters into option contracts to repurchase those finished lots, the net cash received by the land banker represents approximately 80% of the carrying value of the associated finished lots. In these circumstances, management determined it holds a variable interest in the land banker through its potential to absorb some of the third-party’s first dollar risk of loss by not receiving an amount equal to or greater than the value of the associated finished lots the Company continues to recognize on its consolidated balance sheets as Real estate inventory not owned. Management determined that the land banker is a VIE, however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it does not have the power to direct the VIE’s significant activities related to land development. The maximum exposure to loss with respect to the sale and subsequent repurchase of lots to the land banker is limited to the value of the real estate inventory not owned that was not financed by the land banker, which was $0.2 million and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company has a shared services agreement with a related party that operates in the land development business in which the Company receives property maintenance services, due diligence and negotiation assistance with purchasing third party finished lots and previously provided accounting, IT, HR, and other administrative support services. Management has analyzed and concluded that it has a variable interest in this entity through the services agreement that provides the Company with the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits based on fees that are below market rates. Management determined the related party is a VIE, however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it does not have the power to direct the VIE’s most significant activities. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the VIE. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a net receivable of zero and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the shared services agreement included within Due from related party, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 3 - Segment Reporting

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 Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM is identified as the Executive Management Team, comprised of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Financial Officer, and Co-Chief Operating Officers. Together, these individuals assess the performance of the Company’s operating segments and allocate resources. The CODM functions collectively rather than as individuals, ensuring that decisions reflect a balanced and strategic approach to managing operations.

UHG primarily operates in the homebuilding business and is organized and reported by division. The identification of reporting segments is based primarily on similarities in economic and geographic characteristics, product

Table of Contents

types, regulatory environments, and methods used to sell and construct homes. The Company has three reportable segments: GSH South Carolina, Rosewood Communities, Inc. (“Rosewood”), and Other. Each segment represents distinct geographical and operational aspects of UHG’s business.

GSH South Carolina represents the homebuilding operations of the Company primarily across the state of South Carolina. The main products for GSH South Carolina include entry-level homes and first-move-up homes, catering to a wide range of buyers transitioning into homeownership or seeking to upgrade from their initial purchase. South Carolina operations span the Upstate, Midlands, and Coastal regions, with a smaller presence in Georgia.

Rosewood, which also operates in South Carolina, encompasses UHG’s operations focused on delivering second and third move-up homes in the South Carolina market. These homes cater to buyers seeking more luxurious and customized living spaces, and typically feature larger floor plans, high-end finishes, and premium amenities.

Other consists of UHG’s homebuilding operations in Raleigh, NC and mortgage operations conducted through a mortgage banking joint venture, Homeowners Mortgage, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds to be disclosed separately. Raleigh offers a similar product line to GSH South Carolina in a different geographic market, serving North Carolina, primarily in and around Raleigh. Homeowners Mortgage is primarily engaged in brokering residential mortgage loans and enhances the Company’s ability to offer integrated homebuying experiences by providing financing solutions directly to customers while generating additional income streams.

The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those outlined in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources for GSH South Carolina, Rosewood, and Other based on both segment gross profit and segment income or loss before taxes. These financial metrics are used to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and to monitor budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis. Segment gross profit is used to evaluate product pricing strategies, monitor margins, and assess return on inventory, while segment income or loss before taxes is utilized to assess overall segment profitability and performance of each market and product type on a consistent and comparable basis.

The following tables summarize revenues, gross profit, income or loss before taxes and total assets by segment, with reconciliations to the amounts reported for the consolidated company, where applicable (in thousands):

Note 4 - Business Acquisitions

Creekside Custom Homes, LLC

On January 26, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of selected assets of Creekside Custom Homes, LLC, a South Carolina corporation (“Creekside”) (the “Creekside Acquisition”) for $12.7 million in cash. The acquisition allowed UHG to further expand its presence in the coastal region of South Carolina, particularly in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations under the acquisition method, and the results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated based on estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as of January 26, 2024. The amounts for intangible assets were based on third-party valuations performed. The Company recognized the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as goodwill of $3.6 million (all of which is tax deductible). The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the expected synergies from expanding the Company’s market presence in South Carolina and the experience and reputation of the acquired management team.

The final purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):


	Purchase price allocation
Inventories	$	10,478
Lot deposits	3,056
Property and equipment, net	20
Intangible assets	442
Goodwill	3,573

Note 5 - Fair Value Measurement

Certain assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value under GAAP are classified in a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be the Company’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Due to the short-term nature of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair value. Lot deposits are recorded at the agreed-upon contract value, which approximates fair value. The interest rates on the syndicated line of credit and the term loan vary and are the greater of either a reference rate plus an applicable margin, or the base rate plus the aforementioned applicable margin. Refer to Note 9 - Debt for additional detail on the determination of these instruments’ interest rates. As the reference rate of the syndicated line of credit and the term loan at any point in time are reflective of the current interest rate environment the Company operates in, the carrying amount of these instruments approximates their fair value.

The derivative public warrant liability is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company values these instruments based on recent trades of securities in active markets. The estimated fair value of the contingent earnout liability, derivative private placement warrants liability, derivative stock option liability, term loan embedded derivative, and contingent consideration are determined using Level 3 inputs. The models and significant assumptions used in preparing the valuations are disclosed in Note 9 - Debt, Note 15 - Stock-Based Compensation, Note 16 - Earnout Shares, and Note 17 - Warrant Liability.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation (in thousands):

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, annual and interim impairment tests may subject the Company’s goodwill and long-lived assets to nonrecurring fair value measurement. The Company performs the annual impairment test for goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year and, for long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

The various inputs to the fair value models are considered Level 3 inputs. See Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 8 - Goodwill for additional details on the valuation methodologies and inputs used to measure fair value. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a total goodwill impairment charge of $1.1 million in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 8 - Goodwill for additional details on impairment charges recorded.

Balance at December 31, 2025	$	3,573	$	4,560	$	—	$	8,133

During the fourth quarter of 2025, management identified a decline in market capitalization and a decline in performance compared to the original projected underwriting of the acquisitions and determined that indicators of goodwill impairment existed which required further evaluation.

As a result, management performed a quantitative impairment test of its reporting units in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The fair values of the reporting units were estimated using primarily an income approach (discounted cash flow model) and, to a lesser extent, market approaches (guideline public company method and guideline transaction method), consistent with valuation methods used historically. Under the income approach, future cash flows were estimated and present valued based on a discount rate reflecting a market participant risk-adjusted rate of return.

The quantitative impairment assessment requires the application of a number of significant assumptions, including expected sales trends, gross margins, EBITDA margins, net working capital and capital expenditure requirements, long term growth rate, discount rates, and market multiples. Estimates used in the discounted cash flow projections were based on historical data as well as current and anticipated market conditions. In addition, management compared the implied total fair value of invested capital, based on market capitalization plus the book value of debt, to the combined fair value of invested capital of its reporting units to assess the reasonableness of fair value after consideration of a control premium based on observable comparable company transactions.

As a result of the quantitative assessment, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Syndicated Line of Credit

On January 26, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to its existing credit facility (as amended, the "Syndicated Line"). As a result of this amendment the Company established a process for the joinder of additional subsidiary borrowers of the Company, and Rosewood was joined, jointly and severally with the Company and GSH, as a borrower to the syndicated line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). On August 2, 2024 (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”), the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Syndicated Line (“Third Amendment”) which extended the maturity date to August 2, 2027 except with respect to two non-extending lenders (representing $73.3 million of the committed amount), reduced the borrowing capacity to $220.0 million, and amended three financial covenants. On September 29, 2025 (the “Fourth Amendment Effective Date”), the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Syndicated Line (“Fourth Amendment”) which amended certain financial covenants for the period beginning on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and continuing until the Specified Covenant Termination Date, defined as January 1, 2026, provided that if the debt service coverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter from the Fourth Amendment Effective Date through and including December 31, 2025, then the Specified Covenant Termination Date is one day prior to the last day of such fiscal quarter. No other significant terms of the arrangements were changed as a result of these amendments. The financial covenants referenced below are reflective of these amendments.

The advances from the Syndicated Line are used to build homes and are repaid incrementally upon individual home sales. The Syndicated Line is collateralized by the homes under construction and developed lots. The Syndicated Line is fully secured, and the availability of funds is based on the inventory value at the time of the draw request. Interest is accrued based on the total syndication balance and is paid monthly. As the average construction time for homes is less than one year, the Syndicated Line is considered short-term as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The interest rate is based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 275 basis points to 350 basis points) based on the Company’s leverage ratio as determined in accordance with a pricing grid, or the base rate plus the aforementioned applicable margin.

The remaining availability to be drawn down, calculated in accordance with the Syndicated Line, was $56.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and $96.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The Syndicated Line also includes a $2.0 million letter of credit as a sub-facility subjected to the same terms and conditions as the Syndicated Line. The Company pays a fee ranging between 15 and 30 basis points per annum depending on the unused amount of the Syndicated Line. The fee is computed on a daily basis and paid quarterly in arrears.

The Syndicated Line contains financial covenants, including (a) a minimum tangible net worth of no less than the sum of (i) $71.0 million or, for the period beginning on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date through the Specified Covenant Termination Date, $76 million, plus (ii) 25% of positive actual consolidated earnings earned beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2025, plus (iii) 100% of new equity contributed to the Company, plus (iv) 100% of any increase in tangible net worth resulting from an equity issuance upon the conversion or exchange of any security constituting indebtedness that is convertible or exchangeable, or is being converted or exchanged, for equity interests, and plus (v) 100% of the amount of any repurchase of equity interests in the Company; (b) a maximum leverage covenant that prohibits the leverage ratio from exceeding 2.25 to 1.00, except for up to two quarterly measurement periods in which the ratio shall not exceed 2.50 to 1.00 during the period beginning on the Third Amendment Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2025; (c) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.35 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025 and 1.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025, and a minimum of 2.00 to 1.00

Table of Contents

thereafter, beginning with the quarter in which the Company reports a ratio of at least 2.00, but in no event later than the Specified Covenant Termination Date; (d) a minimum liquidity amount beginning on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date through the Specified Covenant Termination Date of not less than $45.0 million and unrestricted cash of not less than $17.5 million, or $37.5 million and unrestricted cash of not less than $15.0 million, beginning with the quarter in which the Company reports a ratio of at least 2.00, but in no event later than the Specified Covenant Termination Date. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Term Loan

On December 11, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, GSH, Kennedy Lewis Agency Partners, LLC (“Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) pursuant to which the Lenders thereunder funded a $70.0 million subordinated term loan, the proceeds of which were used to redeem the outstanding Convertible Notes. See Note 14 - Convertible Notes Payable for further details. The term loan was issued at an original issuance discount of $2.1 million, and the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.8 million that were allocated to the term loan, resulting in net cash proceeds of $67.1 million.

The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan of $70.0 million maturing on the earlier of (a) (i) December 11, 2030, or (ii) the maturity date as defined in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2023, as amended and (iii) the date on which the indebtedness pursuant to the Syndicated Line is accelerated in accordance with the terms of the Syndicated Line with Wells Fargo. As of December 31, 2025, the effective maturity date based on these provisions is August 2, 2027. At the election of the Company, the term loan will either be (i) a SOFR Loan or (ii) an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) Loan. Each SOFR Loan will bear interest for each day during each interest period at a rate per annum equal to (a) Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined by the Credit Agreement), plus (b) the applicable margin (ranging from 675 basis points to 775 basis points) based on the Company’s leverage ratio as determined in accordance with the pricing grid set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Company may elect from time to time to convert SOFR Loans to ABR Loans; provided that such conversion be made on the last day of an interest period with respect thereto. Additionally, the Company may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans; provided that no such conversion can take place when any Event of Default (as defined by the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing. As of December 31, 2025, the term loan under the Credit Agreement is classified as a SOFR Loan. The effective interest rate of the Credit Agreement is 12.40%.

On September 29, 2025 (the “KL First Amendment Effective Date”), the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “KL First Amendment”), amending the Credit Agreement. The KL First Amendment modified certain financial covenants and clarified language related to the Applicable Premium and Make-Whole Premium that may be payable in certain instances outlined in the Credit Agreement. Except for these updates, no material changes were made to the Credit Agreement.

The Company generally cannot prepay the outstanding balance on the term loan, voluntarily or mandatorily, without also contemporaneously paying a prepayment fee equal to the Applicable Premium as defined in the Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, UHG may be required to make mandatory prepayments in certain circumstances, including if a change of control occurs. In the event of a change of control, the Applicable Premium is reduced by 50% of the amount due and payable on the date of prepayment.

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including (a) that the Company must maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $70.0 million; (b) a maximum leverage covenant that prohibits the consolidated total leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries from exceeding 2.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter (as determined on the last day of each fiscal quarter); provided that the Company may exceed such ratio in two instances from December 11, 2024 until December 31, 2025 so long as the consolidated total leverage ratio does not exceed 2.63 to 1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter; (c) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries (as determined on the last day of each fiscal quarter) of (x) not less than 1.35 to 1.00 through December 31, 2025 and (y) thereafter greater than 1.50 to 1.00, provided that the Company and its subsidiaries may allow such debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.35 to 1.00 in two instances from December 11, 2024 until December 31, 2025 so long as the debt service coverage ratio is greater than or equal to 1.20 to 1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter; and (d) that the Company maintain minimum liquidity of not less than $20.0 million and unrestricted cash of not less than $10.0 million at all times. The obligations

under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by UHG and secured by a security interest in UHG’s 100% ownership and economic interest of GSH. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Term Loan Embedded Derivative

The term loan contains various features that meet the definition of an embedded derivative and require bifurcation as they are not clearly and closely related to the host instrument in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including change of control provisions, events of default, and indemnification features. The embedded derivative instrument (“term loan embedded derivative”) is remeasured at fair value every reporting period with changes in fair value presented as a Change in fair value of derivative liabilities within the consolidated statements of operations. At the inception of the term loan, the fair value of the term loan embedded derivative was determined to be immaterial. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company increased the probability of a change in control which resulted in an increase in the fair value of the term loan embedded derivative.

The disclosed fair value of the term loan embedded derivative is estimated using a discounted cash flow method (a level 3 measurement) that includes the probability that certain call and put premiums are exercised upon qualifying events of default or changes in control. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the term loan embedded derivative was $4.6 million, which was the same as its carrying value. As of December 31, 2024 the fair value of the term loan embedded derivative was immaterial.

The key inputs to the valuation model are (i) the probability and timing of a change in control event occurring over the remaining term of the debt; and (ii) the discount rate, which can be influenced by changes in the risk-free rate. Factors that can affect the estimate of fair value at each reporting date, and therefore the amount of gain or loss recorded for a particular period, include imprecision in estimating unobservable market inputs and the selection of particular methodologies and assumptions used to determine the fair value.
