(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), but do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 or subsequent periods due to seasonal variations and other factors.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Green Brick Partners, Inc., its controlled subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which Green Brick Partners, Inc. or one of its controlled subsidiaries is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (together, the “Company”, “we”, or “Green Brick”).
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
For a complete set of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s RSAs have the right to receive forfeitable dividends on an equal basis with common stock and its PRSUs do not participate in dividends with common stock. As such, these stock awards are not considered participating securities and are excluded from the calculation of net income per share using the two-class method.
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for non-vested shares of RSAs and PRSUs during each period. Net income applicable to common stockholders is net income adjusted for preferred stock dividends including dividends declared and cumulative dividends related to the current dividend period that have not been declared as of period end. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method and includes the effect of all dilutive securities, including stock options, RSAs and PRSUs.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, earnest money deposits, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer and builder deposits, borrowings on lines of credit, senior unsecured notes, and notes payable.
Per the fair value hierarchy, level 1 financial instruments include: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, earnest money deposits, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and customer and builder deposits due to their short-term nature. The Company estimates that, due to the short-term nature of the underlying financial instruments or the proximity of the underlying transaction to the applicable reporting date, the fair value of level 1 financial instruments does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Level 2 financial instruments include borrowings on lines of credit, senior unsecured notes, and notes payable. Due to the short-term nature and floating interest rate terms, the carrying amounts of borrowings on lines of credit are deemed to approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes was $310.9 million and $306.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The aggregate principal balance of the senior unsecured notes was $337.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of our financial instruments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds
During the ordinary course of business, certain regulatory agencies and municipalities require the Company to post letters of credit or performance bonds related to development projects. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, letters of credit and performance bonds outstanding were $3.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The Company does not believe that it is likely that any material claims will be made under a letter of credit or performance bond in the foreseeable future.
Operating Leases
The Company has leases associated with office and design center space in Georgia, Texas, and Florida that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of more than 12 months and are classified as operating leases. The exercise of any extension options available in such operating lease contracts is not reasonably certain.
Operating lease cost of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.8 million in the prior year periods.
As of June 30, 2023, the weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted-average discount rate used in calculating our lease liabilities were 4.4 years and 4.2 %, respectively.

The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. For such leases, the Company does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities and instead recognizes lease payments in the condensed consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis. Short-term lease cost of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for each the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Legal Matters
Lawsuits, claims and proceedings may be instituted or asserted against us in the normal course of business. The Company is also subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, title company regulations, employment practices and environmental protection. As a result, the Company may be subject to periodic examinations or inquiry by agencies administering these laws and regulations.
The Company records an accrual for legal claims and regulatory matters when they are probable of occurring and a potential loss is reasonably estimable. The Company accrues for these matters based on facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revises these estimates when necessary.
In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting outcomes of legal claims and related contingencies, the Company generally cannot predict their ultimate resolution, related timing or eventual loss. If evaluations indicate loss contingencies that could be material are not probable, but are reasonably possible, the Company will disclose their nature with an estimate of the possible range of losses or a statement that such loss is not reasonably estimable. We believe that the disposition of legal claims and related contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2023. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview and Outlook
Our key financial and operating metrics are home deliveries, home closings revenue, average sales price of homes delivered, and net new home orders, which refers to sales contracts executed reduced by the number of sales contracts canceled during the relevant period. Our results for each key financial and operating metric, as compared to the same period in 2022, are provided below:
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 | |||||||||||||
| Home deliveries | Decreased by 11.1% | Increased by 0.3% | ||||||||||||
| Home closings revenue | Decreased by 11.0% | Increased by 3.4% | ||||||||||||
| Average sales price of homes delivered | Increased by 0.1% | Increased by 3.1% | ||||||||||||
| Net new home orders | Increased by 50.8% | Increased by 64.8% | ||||||||||||
We believe that our strong second quarter financial and operating results reflect the ongoing stabilization of the economic environment and the continued limited supply of home inventory, especially with respect to existing homes due to the unwillingness of homeowners to list their homes for sale and forfeit their low interest rate mortgage. In addition, the interest rate hikes that began in 2022 have been more measured during the first six months of 2023 and the majority of our homebuyers have adjusted their expectations to the higher interest rates. These improving market conditions, combined with the strength of our infill and infill-adjacent locations in high growth markets and the increased levels of our finished and finishing spec home inventory entering the year, have contributed to our strong new home order growth in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
Residential Units Revenue and New Homes Delivered
The table below represents residential units revenue and new homes delivered for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands):

| Average sales price of homes delivered | $ | 580.0 | $ | 579.5 | $ | 0.5 | 0.1% | |||||||||||||||||||
The 11.3% decrease in residential units revenue was primarily driven by the decrease in new homes delivered. The decrease in new homes delivered was primarily due to a lower starts pace in prior quarters and a smaller backlog entering the quarter.

Net new home orders increased 50.8% over the prior year period and our absorption rate per average active selling communities increased 39.4% year over year. The increase in net new home orders is attributable to the limited competition in our infill and infill-adjacent community sites, increased levels of finished and finishing spec homes entering the quarter, and the continued low supply of existing and new home inventory in our markets.
Backlog refers to homes under sales contracts that have not yet closed at the end of the relevant period, and absorption rate refers to the rate at which net new home orders are contracted per average active selling community during the relevant period. Upon cancellation, the customer deposit may be returned to the homebuyer. Accordingly, backlog may not be indicative of our future revenue.
Backlog declined by 17.5% for the quarter with a 18.9% drop in backlog units, offset by a 1.7% increase in the average sales price of backlog units. As of June 30, 2023, backlog increased 58.8% compared to December 31, 2022. As a result, our spec units under construction as a percentage of total units under construction declined from 73.4% as of December 31, 2022 to 59.2% as of June 30, 2023 which compares to 57.5% as of June 30, 2022.
Our cancellation rate, which refers to sales contracts canceled divided by sales contracts executed during the relevant period, was 7.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 11.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Sales contracts may be canceled by the homebuyer for a number of reasons, including the inability to obtain suitable mortgage financing.

Cost of residential units for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $35.1 million, or 10.1%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the 11.1% decrease in new homes delivered.
Residential units gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to 31.3%, compared to 32.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and up sequentially from 27.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in residential units gross margin is attributable to higher sales incentives offered on new sales orders starting with the second half of 2022 as a result of a significantly more challenging sales environment. Conversely, the residential gross margin percentage increased sequentially 370 basis points to 31.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, which is attributable to declining incentives due to an improving sales environment throughout 2023 and lower construction costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $209.6 million and $76.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, respectively. Our historical cash management strategy includes redeploying net cash from the sale of home inventory to acquire and develop land and lots that represent opportunities to generate desired margins and using cash to make additional investments in business acquisitions, joint ventures, or other strategic activities.
Our principal uses of capital for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were home construction, land development, repayments of lines of credit, operating expenses, payment of routine liabilities and stock repurchases. We used funds generated by operations and available borrowings to meet our short-term working capital requirements. We remain focused on generating positive margins in our builder operations segments and acquiring desirable land positions in order to maintain a strong balance sheet and remain poised for continued growth.
Cash flows for each of our communities depend on the community’s stage in the development cycle. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, entitlements and other approvals, roads,
29
utilities, general landscaping and other amenities. These costs are a component of our inventory and are not recognized in our statement of income until a home closes. In the later stages of community life cycle, cash inflows may significantly exceed earnings reported for financial statement purposes, as the cash outflows associated with home construction and land development previously occurred.
Our debt to total capitalization ratio, which is calculated as the sum of borrowings on lines of credit, the senior unsecured notes, and notes payable, net of debt issuance costs (“total debt”), divided by the total capitalization, which equals the sum of Green Brick Partners, Inc. stockholders’ equity and total debt, was approximately 22.9% as of June 30, 2023. In addition, as of June 30, 2023, our net debt to total capitalization ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, remained low at 10.6%. It is our intent to prudently employ leverage to continue to invest in our land acquisition, development and homebuilding businesses. We target a debt to total capitalization ratio of approximately 30% to 35%, which we expect will provide us with significant additional growth capital.
Reconciliation of a Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we utilize a financial measure of net debt to total capitalization ratio that is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC. Net debt to total capitalization is calculated as the total debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by the sum of total Green Brick Partners, Inc. stockholders’ equity and total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We present this measure because we believe it is useful to management and investors in evaluating the Company’s financing structure. We also believe this measure facilitates the comparison of our financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because this measure is not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The closest GAAP financial measure to the net debt to total capitalization ratio is the debt to total capitalization ratio. The following table represents a reconciliation of the net debt to total capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2023:

Key Sources of Liquidity
The Company’s key sources of liquidity were funds generated by operations and borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Cash Flows
The following summarizes our primary sources and uses of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022:
•Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $210.2 million, compared to $49.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The net cash inflows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily driven by a decrease of inventory of $18.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a $164.8 million increase of inventory during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
•Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased to $7.8 million, compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash outflows of $5.0 million were used for investments in unconsolidated entities.
•Financing activities. Net cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $64.4 million, compared to $51.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The cash outflows were primarily related to
30
share repurchases of $28.0 million, net repayments of our lines of credit of $20.0 million, and distributions of $11.1 million to our noncontrolling interests.
Debt Instruments
Secured Revolving Credit Facility – As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no amounts outstanding under our Secured Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Secured Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. as its “Prime Rate” less 0.25%, subject to a minimum rate. On February 9, 2022, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to this credit agreement to extend its maturity date to May 1, 2025 and to reduce the minimum interest rate from 4.00% to 3.15%. All other material terms of the credit agreement, as amended, remained unchanged.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility – As of June 30, 2023, we had no amounts outstanding under our $325.0 million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility down from $20.0 million as of December 31, 2022. On December 9, 2022, the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to this credit agreement which increased the secured outstanding commitments from $300.0 million to $325.0 million, replaced the Eurodollar rate, and extended the termination date by one year to December 14, 2025.

As amended, the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit commitments under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility is $325.0 million through December 14, 2025.

Principal on the 2026 Notes is required to be paid in increments of $12.5 million on each of August 8, 2024 and August 8, 2025 with a final principal payment of $50.0 million on August 8, 2026.

Our debt instruments require us to maintain specific financial covenants, each of which we were in compliance with as of June 30, 2023. Specifically, under the most restrictive covenants, we are required to maintain the following:
•a minimum interest coverage (consolidated EBITDA to interest incurred) of no less than 2.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2023, our interest coverage on a last 12 months’ basis was 22.89 to 1.0;
•a Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of no less than approximately $748.6 million. As of June 30, 2023, our Consolidated Tangible Net Worth was $1,173.0 million; and
•a maximum debt to total capitalization rolling average ratio of no more than 40.0%. As of June 30, 2023, we had a rolling average ratio of 24.1%.
As of June 30, 2023,we believe that our cash on hand, capacity available under our lines of credit and cash flows from operations for the next twelve months will be sufficient to service our outstanding debt during the next twelve months and fund our operations. For additional information on the Company’s lines of credit and senior unsecured notes, refer to Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Preferred Equity
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we had 2,000,000 Depositary Shares issued and outstanding, each representing 1/1000 of a share of our 5.75% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).
31
We will pay cumulative cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, when and as declared by the Board, at the rate of 5.75% of the $25,000 liquidation preference per share. Dividends will be payable quarterly in arrears. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid dividends of $1.4 million on the Series A Preferred Stock. On July 27, 2023, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.359 per depositary share on the Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend is payable on September 15, 2023 to stockholders of record as of September 1, 2023.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
Land and Lot Option Contracts
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts with third-party developers in order to procure lots for the construction of our homes in the future. We are subject to customary obligations associated with such contracts. These purchase contracts typically require an earnest money deposit, and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements.
We also utilize option contracts with lot sellers as a method of acquiring lots in staged takedowns, which are the schedules that dictate when lots must be purchased to help manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources. Lot option contracts generally require us to pay a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices which typically include escalations in lot prices over time.
Our utilization of lot option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into these arrangements, the availability of capital to finance the development of optioned lots, general housing market conditions and local market dynamics. Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.
We generally have the right, at our discretion, to terminate our obligations under both purchase contracts and option contracts by forfeiting the earnest money deposit with no further financial responsibility to the seller.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had earnest money deposits of $15.9 million at risk associated with contracts to purchase 3,922 lots past feasibility studies with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $202.8 million.
Guarantee
Refer to Note 5 in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for details of our guarantee in relation to EJB River Holdings, LLC joint venture.
Seasonality
The homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements. We typically experience the highest new home order activity in spring and summer, although this activity is highly dependent on the number of active selling communities, timing of new community openings and other market factors. Since it typically takes five to nine months to construct a new home, we normally deliver more homes in the second half of the year as spring and summer home orders are delivered. Because of this seasonality, home starts, construction costs and related cash outflows have historically been highest in the second and third quarters, and the majority of cash receipts from home deliveries occur during the second half of the year.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are described in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer ( “CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”), we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023 in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file, furnish, submit or otherwise provide to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, in such a manner as to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes in our internal controls that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our internal control over financial reporting.
