The Transactions
Smith Douglas Homes Corp., a Delaware corporation, was formed on June 20, 2023. Smith Douglas Homes Corp. is a holding company and the sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC, and its principal asset consists of LLC Interests. Prior to our IPO and the Transactions, all of our business operations were conducted through Smith Douglas Holdings LLC, and the Continuing Equity Owners were the only members of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC. In connection with the consummation of the IPO, we undertook certain organizational transactions, described further below, to reorganize our corporate structure:
•we amended the Smith Douglas LLC Agreement to, among other things, (i) recapitalize all existing ownership interests in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC into 44,871,794 LLC Interests (before giving effect to the use of proceeds from the IPO, as described below), (ii) appoint Smith Douglas Homes Corp. as the sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC upon its acquisition of LLC Interests in connection with the IPO, and (iii) provide certain redemption rights to the Continuing Equity Owners;
•we amended and restated Smith Douglas Homes Corp.’s certificate of incorporation to, among other things, provide (i) for Class A common stock, with each share of our Class A common stock entitling its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to our stockholders generally; (ii) for Class B common stock, with each share of our Class B common stock entitling its holder to ten votes per share on all matters presented to our stockholders generally prior to the Sunset Date and from and after the occurrence of the Sunset Date each share of our Class B common stock will entitle its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to our stockholders generally; (iii) that shares of our Class B common stock may only be held by the Continuing Equity Owners and their respective permitted transferees; and (iv) for preferred stock, which can be issued by our board of directors in one or more series without stockholder approval;
3
•we issued 42,435,897 shares of our Class B common stock (after giving effect to the use of net proceeds from our IPO as described below and taking into account the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 1,153,846 shares of our Class A common stock in the IPO) to the Continuing Equity Owners at the time of such issuance of Class B common stock, which is equal to the number of LLC Interests held by such Continuing Equity Owners, for nominal consideration;
•we issued 8,846,154 shares of our Class A common stock to the purchasers in the IPO in exchange for gross proceeds of approximately $185.8 million based upon the IPO price of $21.00 per share, before deducting the underwriting discount;
•we used the net proceeds from the IPO (i) to purchase 6,410,257 newly issued LLC Interests for approximately $125.2 million directly from Smith Douglas Holdings LLC at the IPO price less the underwriting discount; and (ii) to purchase 2,435,897 LLC Interests from the Continuing Equity Owners on a pro rata basis for $47.6 million at a price per unit equal to the initial public offering price per share of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount;
•Smith Douglas Holdings LLC used the net proceeds from the sale of LLC Interests to Smith Douglas Homes Corp. (i) to repay approximately $84.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility as part of the Refinancing, (ii) to redeem all outstanding Class C Units and Class D Units of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC at par in aggregate for $2.6 million, (iii) to repay $0.9 million in notes payable to certain related parties, and (iv) for general corporate purposes as described under Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—The Transactions of our Proxy Statement;
•Smith Douglas Homes Corp. entered into (i) the Registration Rights Agreement with certain of the Continuing Equity Owners and (ii) the Tax Receivable Agreement with Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and the Continuing Equity Owners. For a description of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Tax Receivable Agreement, see Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions of our Proxy Statement.
Following the Transactions:
•Smith Douglas Homes Corp. is a holding company, and its principal asset consists of LLC Interests it acquired directly from Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and from each Continuing Equity Owner;
•Smith Douglas Homes Corp. is the sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and controls the business and affairs of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC;
•as of July 31, 2026, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. owns, directly or indirectly, 9,109,212 LLC Interests, representing approximately 17.7% of the economic interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC;
•as of July 31, 2026, the Continuing Equity Owners own (i) 42,435,897 LLC Interests, representing approximately 82.3% of the economic interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and (ii) 42,435,897 shares of Class B common stock of Smith Douglas Homes Corp.;
•as of July 31, 2026, the Class A stockholders own (i) 8,392,484 shares of Class A common stock of Smith Douglas Homes Corp., representing approximately 1.9% of the combined voting power of all of Smith Douglas Homes Corp.’s common stock and approximately 100% of the economic interest in Smith Douglas Homes Corp., and (ii) through Smith Douglas Homes Corp.’s ownership of LLC Interests, indirectly hold approximately 17.7% of the economic interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC; and
•our Class A common stock and Class B common stock have what is commonly referred to as a “high/low vote structure,” which means that shares of our Class B common stock initially have ten votes per share and our Class A common stock have one vote per share. Upon the occurrence of the Sunset Date, each share of Class B common stock will then be entitled to one vote per share. This high/low vote structure enables the Continuing Equity Owners to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of our directors, as well as the overall management and direction of our company. Furthermore, the Continuing Equity Owners exert a significant degree of influence, or actual control, over matters requiring stockholder approval. We believe that
4
maintaining this control by the Continuing Equity Owners will help enable them to successfully guide the implementation of our growth strategies and strategic vision.
Our corporate structure following the IPO is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership-C corporation (“Up-C”) structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies when they undertake an initial public offering of their business. The Up-C structure allows the Continuing Equity Owners to retain their equity ownership in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and to continue to realize tax benefits associated with owning interests in an entity that is treated as a partnership, or “flow-through” entity, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Investors in and after our IPO, by contrast, hold their equity ownership in Smith Douglas Homes Corp., a Delaware corporation that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of shares of Class A common stock. One of the tax benefits to the Continuing Equity Owners associated with this structure is that future taxable income of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC that is allocated to the Continuing Equity Owners will be taxed on a flow-through basis and therefore will not be subject to corporate taxes at the entity level. Additionally, because the Continuing Equity Owners may have their LLC Interests redeemed by Smith Douglas Holdings LLC (or at our option, directly exchanged by Smith Douglas Homes Corp.) for newly issued shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends, and reclassifications) or, at our option, for cash, the Up-C structure also provides the Continuing Equity Owners with potential liquidity that holders of non-publicly traded limited liability companies are not typically afforded. In connection with any such redemption or exchange of LLC Interests, a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock held by the relevant Continuing Equity Owner will automatically be transferred to Smith Douglas Homes Corp. for no consideration and be canceled. The Continuing Equity Owners and Smith Douglas Homes Corp. also each expect to benefit from the Up-C structure as a result of certain cash tax savings arising from redemptions or exchanges of the Continuing Equity Owner’s LLC Interests for Class A common stock or cash, and certain other tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement discussed under Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement of our Proxy Statement. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Organizational Structure of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). In general, the Continuing Equity Owners expect to receive payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement of 85% of the amount of certain tax benefits, as described below, and Smith Douglas Homes Corp. expects to benefit in the form of cash tax savings in amounts equal to 15% of certain tax benefits, as described below. Any payments made by us to the Continuing Equity Owners under the Tax Receivable Agreement will reduce cash otherwise arising from such tax savings. We expect such payments will be substantial.
As described under Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement of our Proxy Statement, prior to the completion of the IPO, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and the Continuing Equity Owners that provides for the payment by Smith Douglas Homes Corp. to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that Smith Douglas Homes Corp. actually realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) as a result of (i) Basis Adjustments, (ii) Section 704(c) Allocations, and (iii) certain tax benefits (such as interest deductions) arising from payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
Presentation of Financial Information
Smith Douglas Holdings LLC is the accounting predecessor of Smith Douglas Homes Corp. for financial reporting purposes. As a result, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the combined entity represent a continuation of the financial position and results of operations of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC.
Certain monetary amounts, percentages, and other figures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been subject to rounding adjustments. Percentage amounts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Certain other amounts that appear in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not sum due to rounding.
Key Terms and Performance Indicators used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we use a number of key terms and provide a number of key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures used by management. Please see Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial
5
Measures for definitions and further information about why and how we calculate key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of the following:
•adjusted home closing gross profit, defined as home closing revenue less cost of home closings, excluding capitalized interest charged to cost of home closings, impairment charges and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in cost of sales, if applicable;
•adjusted home closing gross margin, defined as adjusted home closing gross profit as a percentage of home closing revenue;
•adjusted net income, defined as net income adjusted for the tax impact using an applicable federal and state blended tax rate (assuming 100% public ownership to adjust for the impact of taxes on earnings attributable to Smith Douglas Holdings LLC as if Smith Douglas Holdings LLC was a subchapter C corporation in the periods presented);
•EBITDA, defined as net income before (i) interest income, (ii) capitalized interest charged to cost of home closings, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax expense, and (v) depreciation;
•EBITDA margin, defined as EBITDA as a percentage of home closing revenue;
•adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income before (i) interest income, (ii) capitalized interest charged to cost of home closings, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax expense, (v) depreciation, (vi) share-based payment expense, (vii) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in cost of sales, (viii) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in other expense (income), net, and (ix) real estate inventory impairment and lot option contract abandonment charges;
•adjusted EBITDA margin, defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of home closing revenue; and
•net debt-to-net book capitalization, defined as (i) total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by (ii) total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, plus equity.
We use non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted home closing gross profit, adjusted home closing gross margin, adjusted net income, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and net debt-to-net book capitalization, to supplement financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance, as applicable, as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results and make more meaningful period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For example, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. See Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward‑looking statements. We intend such forward‑looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward‑looking statements contained in 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”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be forward‑looking statements. Statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, liquidity runway and capital resources, any future declaration of cash dividends, our status as an emerging growth company, future tax savings, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, statements regarding the Transactions, expected growth, future capital expenditures, and debt service obligations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward‑looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.
The forward‑looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions. We have based these forward‑looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward‑looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward‑looking statements. We believe that these factors include:
•general business, macroeconomic, and geopolitical conditions and risks;
•risks associated with maintaining our land and lot inventory;
•the tightening of mortgage lending standards and mortgage financing requirements;
•the housing market may not continue to grow at the same rate, or may decline;
•the availability, skill, and performance of trade partners;
•a shortage or increase in the costs of building materials, including due to tariffs, could delay or increase the cost of home construction;
•efforts to impose joint employer liability on us for labor, safety, or worker’s compensation law violations committed by our trade partners;
•the effects of data security breaches, IT failures, and violations of data protection and privacy laws and regulations;
•the effects of governmental regulations and requirements on our operations, including land development and homebuilding;
•volatility in the credit and capital markets may impact our cost of capital and our ability to access necessary financing and the difficulty in obtaining sufficient capital could prevent us from acquiring lots for our development or increase costs and delays in the completion of our homebuilding expenditures;
•an active, liquid trading market for our Class A common stock may not continue, which may make it difficult for you to sell your shares of Class A common stock;
•we cannot predict the effect our dual class structure may have on the market price of our Class A common stock;
•the Tax Receivable Agreement requires us to make cash payments to the Continuing Equity Owners in respect of certain tax benefits to which we may become entitled, and we expect that such payments will be substantial;
•our organizational structure, including the Tax Receivable Agreement, confers certain benefits upon the Continuing Equity Owners that will not benefit holders of our Class A common stock to the same extent that it will benefit the Continuing Equity Owners;
7
•the significant influence the Continuing Equity Owners have over us, including control over decisions that require the approval of stockholders; and
•the factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report.
Because forward‑looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward‑looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward‑looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward‑looking statements. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward‑looking statements by these cautionary statements.
These forward‑looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward‑looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

SMITH DOUGLAS HOMES CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies:
Nature of business
Smith Douglas Homes Corp. (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 20, 2023 (Date of Formation) for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock and executing other related transactions in order to carry on the business of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries as a publicly-traded entity.
The Company is a builder of single-family homes in communities in certain markets in the southeastern and southern United States. The Company’s homes and communities are primarily targeted to first-time and empty-nest homebuyers. The Company currently operates in metropolitan Atlanta, Birmingham, Central Georgia, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Dallas-Fort Worth, Greenville, Houston, Huntsville, Nashville, Raleigh and the Alabama Gulf Coast. The Company operates a land-light business model whereby the Company typically purchases finished lots via lot-option contracts from various third-party land developers or land bankers. Additionally, the Company offers title insurance and mortgage brokerage services through unconsolidated joint ventures.
Initial Public Offering and Transactions
The Company successfully closed an IPO of 8,846,154 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $21.00 per share on January 16, 2024, which included 1,153,846 shares of Class A common stock issued pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock. The net proceeds from the IPO aggregated approximately $172.8 million. Shares of Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "SDHC" on January 11, 2024.
In connection with the IPO, Smith Douglas Holdings LLC amended and restated its existing limited liability company agreement to, among other things, (i) recapitalize all existing ownership interests in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC into 44,871,794 LLC Interests (before giving effect to the use of proceeds from the IPO, as described below), (ii) appoint Smith Douglas Homes Corp. as the sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC upon its acquisition of LLC Interests in connection with the IPO, and (iii) provide certain redemption rights to the owners of the LLC Interests in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC, exclusive of the Company (the Continuing Equity Owners).
Simultaneously, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, provide (i) for Class A common stock, with each share of Class A common stock entitling its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the stockholders generally; (ii) for Class B common stock, with each share of Class B common stock entitling its holder to ten votes per share on all matters presented to the stockholders generally, until the aggregate number of shares of Class B common stock then outstanding is less than 10 % of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock then outstanding (Sunset Date), and from and after the occurrence of the Sunset Date, each share of Class B common stock will entitle its holder to one vote per share on all matters presented to the stockholders generally; (iii) that shares of Class B common stock may only be held by the Continuing Equity Owners and their respective permitted transferees; and (iv) for preferred stock, which can be issued by the Company’s board of directors in one or more series without stockholder approval. As a result, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. became a holding company and the sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and controls the business and affairs of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC. After giving effect to the use of net proceeds as described below, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. issued 42,435,897 shares of Class B common stock to the Continuing Equity Owners, which is equal to the number of LLC Interests held by such Continuing Equity Owners, for nominal consideration.
Subsequent to the IPO, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. used the net proceeds to: (i) purchase 6,410,257 newly issued LLC Interests for approximately $125.2 million directly from Smith Douglas Holdings LLC at a price per unit equal to $21.00 per share (IPO price) of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount; and (ii) purchase 2,435,897 LLC Interests from the Continuing Equity Owners on a pro rata basis for $47.6 million in aggregate at a price per unit equal to the IPO price per share of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount.
16
Basis of presentation
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), since the Continuing Equity Owners continue to hold a controlling interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC after the IPO (i.e., there was no change in control of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC), the financial statements of the combined entity represent a continuation of the financial position and results of operations of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC. Accordingly, the historical cost basis of assets, liabilities, and equity of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC are carried over to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the combined company as a common control transaction.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Transactions and IPO have been presented to combine the previously separate entities. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Principles of consolidation and non-controlling interests
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Smith Douglas Homes Corp. and Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC is considered a variable interest entity and Smith Douglas Homes Corp. is the primary beneficiary and sole managing member of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and has decision making authority that significantly affects the performance of the entity. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and reports non-controlling interests representing the economic interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company has less than a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method.
The non-controlling interests in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income represent the portion of earnings attributable to the economic interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners. The non-controlling interests in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the portion of the net assets of the Company attributable to the Continuing Equity Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by such unit holders. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the non-controlling interests were 82.3 % and 82.5 %, respectively.
Use of estimates in the preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when a home closes with a homebuyer, which is the time at which title and possession of the property are transferred to that homebuyer and all cash consideration due from the homebuyer is received. The Company’s performance obligation, to deliver the home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date.
When the Company executes sales contracts with its homebuyers, or when it requires advance payment from homebuyers for custom changes, upgrades or options related to their homes, the cash deposits received are recorded as contract liabilities until the homes are closed or the contracts are canceled. The Company either retains or refunds to the customer
17
deposits on canceled sales contracts, depending upon the applicable provisions of the contract or other circumstances. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, customer deposits totaled $6.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Substantially all customer deposits are recognized in revenue within one year of being received from homebuyers.
Income taxes
Smith Douglas Homes Corp. is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of taxable income of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC assessed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC operates as a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Accordingly, it incurs no significant liability for federal or state income taxes since the taxable income or loss is passed through to its members. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC incurs liabilities for certain state taxes payable directly by it, which are not significant and for which the expense is included in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
In calculating the provision for interim income taxes, in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, an estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to year-to-date ordinary income. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This differs from the method utilized at the end of an annual period.
For annual periods, income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no
Recent rules and accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (ASU 2023-09), which requires expanded disclosure of the Company’s income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the annual period beginning January 1, 2025 and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2026. ASU 2023-09 is applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented.
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (ASU 2024-03), which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be adopted on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures, including the transition method to be applied upon adoption.
In September 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (ASU 2025-06), which modernizes the accounting for the costs of internal-use software by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. ASU 2025-06 is effective for our annual and interim reports within the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2028, and may be applied on a retrospective, modified transition or prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements“ (ASU 2025-11), to clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270, Interim Reporting. ASU 2025-11 is effective for our interim reports covering the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2028, and may be applied on a retrospective
18
or prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adopting this guidance will have on its interim financial statements and disclosures.
Note 2 ‑ Real estate inventory and capitalized interest:
A summary of real estate inventory is as follows as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||
| Lots held for construction | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Homes under construction, completed homes and model homes | ||||||||||||||
| Total real estate inventory | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Real estate inventory consists primarily of the capitalized costs of finished homes, homes under construction, and residential lots. The Company includes the costs of lot acquisitions, development, direct home construction, capitalized interest, closing costs and direct and certain indirect overhead costs incurred during home construction in real estate inventory.
Real estate inventory is stated at cost unless a community is determined to be impaired, at which point the inventory is written down to fair value as required by ASC Topic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company reviews its real estate inventory for indicators of potential impairment on a quarterly basis at the community level considering market and economic conditions, current sales absorption rates and recent profitability of new home sales. When an indicator of impairment is identified, the Company prepares and analyzes cash flows at the community level on an undiscounted basis. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the community's carrying value, the Company generally estimates the fair value using the estimated future discounted cash flows of the respective community. A community with a fair value less than its carrying value is written down to such fair value and resulting losses are reported within cost of home closings in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company evaluated seven and two active communities with carrying values of $24.4 million and $10.1 million, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized inventory impairment charges in the Southeast reporting segment of $2.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, related to two and three communities, respectively. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, inventory impairment charges in the Central reporting segment were $0.5 one 0.6 million was recognized in the Central reporting segment during the six months ended June 30, 2025 related to one community. No impairment charges were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
The below table summarizes the significant quantitative unobservable inputs used in the Company’s discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of its communities for which the Company recorded impairment charges as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Note 3 ‑ Variable interest entities:
The Company enters into lot option agreements to procure finished lots for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these option agreements, the Company generally provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase lots at different times in the future at predetermined prices. Such contracts enable the Company to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties or unconsolidated entities 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.
Based on the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance, the Company has concluded that when it enters into an option or purchase agreement to acquire lots from an entity, a variable interest entity (VIE) may be created. The Company evaluates all option and purchase agreements and amendments for land to determine if the related entity is a VIE. As required by ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, the Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary for each VIE. In order to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company must first assess whether it has the ability to control the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. Such activities include, but are not limited to, the ability to determine the budget and scope of land development work, if any; the ability to control financing decisions for the VIE; the ability to acquire additional land into the VIE or dispose of land in the VIE not under contract with the Company; and the ability to change or amend the existing option contract with the VIE. If the Company does not control such activities, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If the Company has the ability to control such activities, the Company would be the primary beneficiary of the VIE if it has an obligation to absorb losses or has the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company was not identified as the primary beneficiary of any VIEs associated with option and purchase agreements. Therefore, no such VIEs required consolidation under ASC Topic 810.
In all cases, creditors of the entities with which the Company has option agreements have no recourse against the Company and the maximum exposure to loss in option agreements is limited to the Company’s option deposits, any capitalized pre‑acquisition costs, and any termination fees (which approximated $58.4 million as of June 30, 2026).
In certain instances where the Company has entered into option agreements to purchase finished lots from a land banker, the Company may also enter into an agreement to complete the development of the lots on behalf of the land banker at a fixed cost. The Company may be at risk for items over budget related to the development of the property under option. Any unpaid amounts under these development agreements are recorded as development reimbursement receivables from land bankers and are included within other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following provides a summary of the Company's interests in land option agreements (in thousands):

| Deposits or Investments | Remaining Purchase Price | ||||||||||

| Option contracts with unconsolidated entities | |||||||||||
| Total option contracts | $ | $ | |||||||||
For lot option contracts where the lot seller entity is not required to be consolidated under the variable interest model, the Company considers whether such contracts should be accounted for as financing arrangements. Lot option contracts that may be considered financing arrangements include those entered into with third‑party land banks or developers in conjunction with such third parties acquiring a specific land parcel(s) on the Company’s behalf, at the Company’s direction, and those with other landowners where the Company or its designee makes improvements to the optioned land parcel(s) during the applicable option period. For these lot option contracts, the Company records the remaining purchase price of the associated land parcel(s) in inventory in its consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding financing obligation if the Company determines that it is effectively compelled to exercise the option to purchase the land parcel(s). In making this determination with respect to land option contracts, the Company considers the non‑refundable deposit(s), any capitalized pre‑acquisition costs and additional costs associated with abandoning the contract. As a result of such evaluations of lot option contracts, no lot option contracts were determined to be financing arrangements for which the remaining purchase price should be recorded as a financing obligation in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a lot option contract abandonment charge of $3.9 0.6 0.7 million was recognized in the Central reporting segment. No lot option contract abandonment charges were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Note 4 ‑ Investments in unconsolidated entities:

Note 5 ‑ Notes payable:
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has a $325.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility under the Amended Credit Facility. On May 15, 2025, the Company entered into that certain Lender Addition and Acknowledgment Agreement and First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the First Amendment; the Credit Facility as amended by the First Amendment, the First Amendment and Amended Credit Facility) to, among other things, (i) increase the total revolving commitments from $250.0 million to $325.0 million, (ii) increase certain thresholds and sublimits in the borrowing base to allow for additional borrowing flexibility, (iii) extend the revolving loan maturity date from January 2027 to May 2029, and (iv) revise certain financial covenants. The Amended Credit Facility matures in May 2029, except that the Company may request a one-year extension of such maturity date. The Amended Credit Facility also includes a $100.0 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments. The Amended Credit Facility provides that up to $20.0 million of the commitments may be used for letters of credit.
The borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility may not exceed the borrowing base as defined in the Amended Credit Facility. The borrowing base primarily consists of a percentage of commercial land, land held for development, lots under development and finished lots held by the Company.
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest, at the borrower’s option, at either a base rate or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (which may be a daily simple rate or based on 1-, 3- or 6-month interest periods, in each case at the borrower’s option), plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 2.35 % to 3.00 % based on the Company’s leverage ratio as determined in accordance with a pricing grid defined in the Amended Credit Facility and is subject to a floor of 0.00 %. Interest is payable in arrears on the last business day of each month or at the end of each 1-, 3- or 6-month interest period, as applicable. As of June 30, 2026, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility was 6.07 %.
The Amended Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, including requirements to maintain (i) a minimum tangible net worth equal to the sum of (a) $286.1 million, (b) 32.5 % of pre‑tax income earned in any fiscal quarter after March 31, 2025, and (c) 50 % of any new equity proceeds of Smith Douglas Homes Corp. and its subsidiaries after March 31, 2025, (ii) a maximum leverage ratio of 60 %, (iii) a minimum ratio of EBITDA to interest incurred of 2.00 to 1.00, and (iv) a minimum liquidity requirement of $15.0 million. The Amended Credit Facility also contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the ability of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and the other borrowers to incur additional debt and to make certain investments and distributions. Additionally, the Amended Credit Facility contains certain covenants that restrict certain activities of Smith Douglas Homes Corp. The Amended Credit Facility also contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, failure to make payments, breach of covenants and breach of representations. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the borrowers may be required to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Amended Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $63.0 million and $40.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility, respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $0.8 million and $0.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, respectively. Availability as determined in accordance with the Borrowing Base, as defined, totaled approximately $199.7 million as of June 30, 2026.
On July 31, 2023, the Company entered into a three-year seller note payable of $5.0 million as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Devon Street which bears interest at 8 % per annum. The seller note is payable in quarterly installments of principal and accrued interest beginning September 30, 2023 through maturity on September 30, 2026 . The seller was previously employed as the division president of the Houston division until December 31, 2024.

Note 6 ‑ Fair value of financial instruments:
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and disclosing fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three‑level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date.
•Level 1 ‑ Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
•Level 2 ‑ Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or by model‑based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market;
•Level 3 ‑ Valuation is derived from model‑based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to those fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
23
The Company’s financial instruments measured or disclosed at fair value are summarized below. The summary excludes cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying values due to the liquid nature and short maturities of these instruments.

Certain assets are required to be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The non-recurring fair values included in the above table represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value during the quarterly period ended as of the respective balance sheet dates. See Note 2 for more detailed discussion of the valuation methods used for real estate inventory.
The carrying value of the borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility approximates fair value due to variable rate terms that approximate market rates.
The carrying value of the seller note payable and related party note payable approximate fair value because the interest rates on the notes approximate market rates as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Through June 30, 2026, no series of preferred stock have been issued.
Holders of shares of Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock. Upon dissolution or liquidation, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata the remaining assets available for distribution.

The LLC Interests are not classified as temporary equity as the cash settlement is limited to the proceeds from a new offering of Class A Common Stock which is equity-classified.
Distributions to Members Related to Their Income Tax Liabilities
As a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, Smith Douglas Holdings LLC does not incur significant federal, state or local income taxes, as these taxes are primarily the obligations of its members.

26
LLC has cash available, on a pro rata basis to its members to the extent necessary to cover the members’ tax liabilities, if any, with respect to each member’s share of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC taxable earnings. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC makes such tax distributions to its members quarterly, based on an estimated tax rate and projected year-to-date taxable income, with a final accounting once actual taxable income or loss has been determined.

Note 12 - Income taxes and tax receivable agreement:
Smith Douglas Homes Corp. is taxed as a subchapter C corporation and is subject to federal and state income taxes. Smith Douglas Homes Corp.’s sole material asset is its ownership interest in Smith Douglas Holdings LLC, which is a limited liability company that is taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal and certain state and local income tax purposes. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC’s net taxable income and related tax credits, if any, are passed through to its members and included in the members’ tax returns. The income tax burden on the earnings taxed to the non-controlling interest holders is not reported by the Company in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP.
The estimated annual effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2026 is 5.4 %. The difference between the estimated annual effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily due to: (1) income attributable to non-controlling interests which is not taxable to Smith Douglas Homes Corp., (2) Smith Douglas Holdings LLC’s election to be taxed at the entity level, and (3) state income taxes.
The Company’s income tax provision was $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. After considering all those factors, as of June 30, 2026, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $12.3 million for certain deferred tax assets the Company has determined are not more likely than not to be realized.
As each of the Continuing Equity Owners elects to convert their LLC Interests into Class A common stock, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. will succeed to their aggregate historical tax basis which will create a net tax benefit to the Company. These
28
tax benefits are expected to be amortized over 15.0 years pursuant to Sections 743(b) and 197 of the Code. The Company will only recognize a deferred tax asset for financial reporting purposes when it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will be realized.
In connection with the IPO and related transactions, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (TRA) with Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and the Continuing Equity Owners that will provide for the payment by Smith Douglas Homes Corp. to the Continuing Equity Owners of 85 % of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that Smith Douglas Homes Corp. realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) related to the tax basis adjustments as such savings are realized. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has recorded a TRA liability of $9.4 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company made payments under the TRA to the Continuing Equity Owners totaling zero and $0.5 million, respectively. No

Note 14 ‑ Segment information:
The Company operates one principal homebuilding business that is organized, managed and reported by geographic division. Management of the eleven geographic divisions report to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), which consists of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The CODM is regularly provided operating results of individual operating segments, which comprise the Company’s reportable segments. These operating results include key operating metrics which inform the CODM’s decisions regarding the allocation of resources and the assessment of the Company’s overall operational performance. These operating results are reviewed against actual and budgeted figures, with income before income taxes (segment profit) being the key operating metric used to measure segment profit or loss. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated into two reportable segments: Southeast and Central. The Southeast segment consists of the Atlanta, Central Georgia, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Greenville, and Raleigh divisions. The Central segment consists of the Alabama, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Nashville, and Alabama Gulf Coast divisions. Each reportable segment follows the accounting policies described in Note 1. As the Dallas-Fort Worth and Alabama Gulf Coast divisions were formed in the second half of 2025, segment information disclosed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 does not include these divisions.

Note 15 - Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Smith Douglas Homes Corp. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting the net income available to Smith Douglas Homes Corp. and the weighted average shares outstanding to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Shares of Class B common stock are not entitled to receive any distributions or dividends and are therefore excluded from this presentation since they are not participating securities.
Basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock have been computed as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The dilutive impact of unvested RSUs was included using the treasury stock method. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the dilutive impact of 180,526 unvested RSUs is not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. You should read this analysis in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical financial information, this discussion and analysis contains statements of a forward-looking nature relating to future events or our future financial performance, based upon our current plans, expectations and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. These statements are only predictions, and actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating such statements, you should carefully consider the various factors identified in the Annual Report, as updated by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report.
Company Overview
Smith Douglas is engaged in the design, construction, and sale of single-family homes in some of the highest growth and most desirable markets in the Southeastern and Southern United States. We employ an efficient land-light, production focused, and conservatively leveraged business model, which we believe results in a compelling combination of strong home closing gross margins, construction cycle times, and returns. Our communities are primarily targeted to entry-level and empty-nest homebuyers. We offer our homebuyers an attractive value proposition by providing a personalized home buying experience at affordable price points. With the goal of becoming one of the most dominant homebuilders in the Southeastern and Southern United States, we intend to grow operations within our existing footprint and to expand into new markets where we can most effectively implement our business strategy and maximize our profit and returns.
We continued to face market challenges in the second quarter of 2026, with elevated mortgage interest rates and macroeconomic uncertainty weakening potential homebuyer confidence. We have continued to use financing incentives, such as closing cost credits and mortgage rate buydowns, to address these concerns. We achieved 839 homes closed for a total of $273.0 million in home closing revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which reflects an increase of 25% in the number of homes closed and 22% in home closing revenue over the same period of the prior year. Our net new home orders were 970, which reflects a 32% increase period over period, and contract value of net new home orders increased 26% period over period.
We aim to construct most of our homes on a pre-sold basis, where our homebuyers choose their homes based on a select number of value-engineered floor plans and are offered flexibility on the selection of home options. Our SMART Builder enterprise resource planning system and efficient construction process, which we call Rteam, allows us to provide this optionality for homebuyers based on just-in-time modifications. As a result of our differentiated value proposition and efficient construction cycle times, we typically achieve a high level of homebuyer satisfaction and experience low cancellation rates, which were 13% and 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
At the core of our land-light operating strategy lies the principle and discipline of primarily acquiring finished lots from a diverse pool of third-party land developers or land bankers through the effective utilization of lot-option contracts. Our lot acquisition strategy reduces our upfront capital requirements and generally seeks to provide for “just-in-time” lot delivery, better aligning our pace of home orders and home starts. While using land bankers and third-party developers comes at an additional cost, we believe our lot acquisition strategy reduces our operational and financial risk relative to other homebuilders that own a higher percentage of their land supply. As of June 30, 2026, we had 664 owned unstarted lots in real estate inventory on our balance sheet, which represented only 2.8% of our total controlled lot supply.
We believe the geographic markets in which we operate demonstrate strong population and employment growth trends, favorable migration patterns, and desirable lifestyle and weather conditions. Our operations are currently organized into eleven geographical divisions which comprise two reportable segments. Our Southeast segment consists of our Atlanta, Central Georgia, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Greenville, and Raleigh divisions. Our Central segment consists of our Alabama, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Nashville, and Alabama Gulf Coast divisions. We believe there is significant opportunity to expand our presence in each of our respective markets.
We believe our dedication to entry-level and empty-nest homebuyers with a focus on price points that fall below FHA guidelines, our efficient construction process, and our affordable luxury sales experience caters to the desires of today’s aspiring homeowners and is resilient across economic cycles. While we expect the current housing undersupply and favorable demographic trends to provide a strong, long-term runway for future new home buying demand, there are
33
several factors beyond our control that could have a significant impact on our business including, but not limited to, rising inflation, future increases in interest rates, availability and cost of land, labor and construction, availability of mortgage and land bank financing, macroeconomic trends and other factors described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Home closing revenue
Home closing revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $273.0 million, an increase of $49.1 million, or 22%, from $223.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Home closing revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $479.5 million, an increase of $30.8 million, or 7%, from $448.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in revenue for both periods is primarily attributable to increases in the number of homes closed, which increased by 25% and 9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, while ASP of homes closed decreased by 3% and 2%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The growth in the number of homes closed for the current year periods as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily due to increases of 25% and 9%, respectively, in our Southeast segment, and increases of 26% and 10%, respectively, in our Central segment.
The following table sets forth our home closing revenue, number of home closings, and ASP of homes closed for the periods presented, in each of our reportable segments (dollar amounts in thousands):

Cost of home closings
Cost of home closings for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $225.1 million, an increase of $53.1 million, or 31%, from $172.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which was primarily driven by a 25% increase in home closings and a 4% increase in the average cost of home closings. Cost of home closings for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $391.1 million, an increase of $47.9 million, or 14%, from $343.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was primarily driven by a 9% increase in home closings and a 4% increase in the average cost of home closings.
Home closing gross profit
Home closing gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $47.9 million, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 8%, from $51.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Home closing gross margin, expressed as a percentage and calculated as home closing gross profit divided by home closing revenue, was 17.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 23.2% in the same period in 2025. Home closing gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $88.4 million, a decrease of $17.1 million, or 16%, from $105.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Home closing gross margin, expressed as a percentage and calculated as home closing gross profit divided by home closing revenue, was 18.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 23.5% in the same period in 2025.
The decrease in home closing gross margin for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods of the prior year was for each period primarily driven by a 4% increase in the average cost of home closings while the ASP of homes closed decreased by 3% and 2%, respectively.
36
Selling, general, and administrative costs
Selling, general, and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $41.9 million, an increase of $7.2 million, or 21%, from $34.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Selling, general, and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $77.8 million, an increase of $10.1 million, or 15%, from $67.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods of the prior year was for each period primarily due to an increase in sales commissions, advertising costs, and division overhead associated with our increase in homes closed and related home closing revenue, an increase in division overhead primarily due to our recently formed divisions, Dallas-Fort Worth and Alabama Gulf Coast, and increased compensation expenses attributable to higher employee headcount.
Equity in income from unconsolidated entities
Equity in income from unconsolidated entities consists primarily of our portion of income from our interest in the title company in which we hold a 49% interest and which operates in certain of our markets to provide title insurance to our homebuyers and our portion of income from our interest in the company engaged in providing mortgage broker services to our homebuyers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, equity in income from unconsolidated entities increased $0.2 million and $0.5 million from the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, in each case primarily due to an increase in income from the mortgage brokerage company, which ramped up operations in 2025.
Interest expense
Interest expense is comprised of interest incurred, but not capitalized on our Amended Credit Facility, other borrowings, and amortization of debt issuance costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, interest expense decreased $0.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher interest eligible for capitalization. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, interest expense increased $0.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher outstanding borrowings on our Amended Credit Facility.
Other expense (income), net
Other expense (income), net primarily consists of interest income, credit card rebates, insurance settlements, and other miscellaneous income and expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, other expense (income), net increased by $4.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, from the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to lot option contract abandonment charges of $4.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to none and $0.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Provision for income taxes
Smith Douglas Homes Corp. is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of taxable income of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC assessed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Smith Douglas Holdings LLC operates as a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Accordingly, it incurs no significant liability for federal or state income taxes, since the taxable income or loss is passed through to its members. Provision for income taxes was $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, which reflects an effective tax rate of 5.4% and 4.3%, respectively. Provision for income taxes was $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, which reflects an effective tax rate of 5.7% and 4.4%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily related to an increase in state income taxes.

(1)Other primarily includes homebuilding operations in non-reportable segments, corporate overhead costs such as payroll and benefits, business insurance, information technology, office costs, outside professional services and travel costs, and certain other amounts that are not allocated to the reportable segments.
Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $14.7 million, or 89% and $29.3 million, or 83%, respectively, from the same periods of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $4.0 million and $17.1 million in home closing gross profit, respectively, and increases of $7.2 million and $10.1 million in selling, general and administrative costs and in other expense (income), net of $4.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
Southeast: The $11.4 million decrease in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a $5.9 million decrease in home closing gross profit, a $1.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs, and a $3.9 million increase in other expense (income), net, primarily attributable to lot option contract abandonment charges. The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a $17.1 million decrease in home closing gross profit, a $1.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs, and a $4.0 million increase in other expense (income), net, primarily attributable to lot option contract abandonment charges.
Central: The $0.5 million decrease in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in home closing gross profit of $1.8 million, which was more than offset by an increase in selling, general, and administrative costs of $1.8 million and an increase of $0.5 million in other expense (income), net, primarily attributable to lot option contract abandonment charges. The $2.1 million decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to flat home closing gross profit, while selling, general, and administrative costs increased by $2.3 million. The increases in selling, general, and administrative costs for both periods are primarily attributable to the recently formed Dallas-Fort Worth and Alabama Gulf Coast divisions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we have provided information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relating to “adjusted home closing gross profit,” “adjusted home closing gross margin,” “adjusted net income,” “EBITDA”, “EBITDA margin”, “adjusted EBITDA”, “adjusted EBITDA margin”, and “net debt-to-net book capitalization.” We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance.
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with additional useful information in evaluating our performance and to more readily compare these financial measures between past and future periods. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For example, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Adjusted home closing gross profit and adjusted home closing gross margin
Adjusted home closing gross profit and adjusted home closing gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. We define adjusted home closing gross profit as home closing revenue less cost of home closings, excluding capitalized interest charged to cost of home closings, impairment charges and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in cost of sales, if applicable. We define adjusted home closing gross margin as adjusted home closing gross profit as a percentage of home closing revenue. Management believes this information is meaningful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest has on home closing gross margin. However, because adjusted home closing gross profit and adjusted home closing gross margin information excludes capitalized interest, which has real economic effects and could impact our results of operations, the utility of adjusted home closing gross profit and adjusted home closing gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted home closing gross profit and adjusted home closing margin information in the same manner we do. Accordingly, adjusted home closing gross profit and adjusted home closing gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to home closing gross profit and home closing gross margin information as a measure of our performance.

(1)Home closing gross profit is home closing revenue less cost of home closings.
(2)Calculated as a percentage of home closing revenue.
Our adjusted home closing gross profit and adjusted home closing gross margin decreased from both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to the same periods in 2026. The decreases in adjusted home closing gross profit and adjusted home closing gross margin were primarily due to increases in the average cost of home closings of 4% in both periods.
Adjusted net income
Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income or net income margin as determined by GAAP. Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We define adjusted net income as net income adjusted for the tax impact using an applicable federal and state blended tax rate (assuming 100% public ownership to adjust for the impact of taxes on earnings attributable to Smith Douglas Holdings LLC as if Smith Douglas Holdings LLC was a subchapter C corporation in the periods presented).
Management believes adjusted net income is useful because it allows management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and comparability to industry peers who record income tax expense on their income before tax as opposed to the income of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC not being taxed at the entity level and, therefore, not reflecting a charge against earnings for income tax expense. Adjusted net income should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of adjusted net income may not be comparable to adjusted net income of other companies. We present adjusted net income because we believe it provides useful information regarding our comparability to peers.

EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin
EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of net income or net income margin as determined by GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We define EBITDA as net income before (i) interest income, (ii) capitalized interest charged to cost of home closings, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax expense, and (v) depreciation. We define EBITDA margin as EBITDA as a percentage of home closing revenue. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest income, (ii) capitalized interest charged to cost of home closings, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax expense, (v) depreciation, (vi) share-based payment expense, (vii) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in cost of sales, (viii) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in other expense (income), net, and (ix) real estate inventory impairment and lot option contract abandonment charges. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of home closing revenue.
Management believes EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are useful because they allow management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure, or other items that impact comparability of financial results from period to period. EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, net income margin, or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin of other companies. We present EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business.

Our EBITDA and EBITDA margin decreased from the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to the same periods in 2026, primarily as a result of decreases in net income of $14.7 million and $29.3 million, respectively. Our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin also decreased from the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to the same periods in 2026, primarily as a result of the decrease in net income described above, partially offset by the increases

in the add-back for real estate inventory impairment and lot option contract abandonment charges of $7.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively.
Net debt-to-net book capitalization
Net debt-to-net book capitalization is a supplemental measure of our leverage that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to debt-to-book capitalization or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of net debt-to-net book capitalization may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors because not all companies and analysts calculate this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner. We present this non-GAAP financial measure because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our leverage and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
We define net debt-to-net book capitalization as:
•Total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by
•Total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, plus equity.
This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool in that it subtracts cash and cash equivalents and therefore may imply that the Company has less debt than the most comparable measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of this limitation, this non-GAAP financial measure should be considered along with other financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We have reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the following table:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of June 30, 2026, we had $14.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our Amended Credit Facility, and positive cash flows from operations will be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We have historically generated cash and fund our operations primarily from cash flows from operating activities as well as availability under our credit facilities and other borrowings. We exercise strict controls and have a prudent strategy for our cash management, including those related to cash outlays for lot acquisitions and deposits on lot-option contracts. We require multiple party account control and authorization for payments. We competitively bid each phase of the development and construction process and closely manage production schedules and payments. Land acquisitions are reviewed and analyzed by our senior management team and ultimately approved by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, our land-light business model reduces our upfront capital requirements and generally provides for “just-in-
42
time” lot delivery, which better aligns our pace of home orders and home starts. Our principal uses of cash include deposits on lot-option contracts, acquisition of finished lots, home construction, operating expenses, and the payment of interest and routine liabilities.
In the coming 12 months, our primary funding needs will revolve around the construction of homes, acquisition of finished lots under new and existing contracts, and operating expenses. Additionally, we may seek to use our capital to enter new markets through acquisition or greenfield startup if we believe such markets fit our business model. To address these short-term liquidity requirements, we anticipate relying on our existing cash and cash equivalents, as well as the net cash flows generated by our operations, and availability under our Amended Credit Facility.
However, the opportunity to purchase substantially finished lots in desired locations is becoming increasingly more competitive. As a result, we remain open to seeking additional capital if necessary to enhance our liquidity position, further enable the acquisition of additional finished lot inventory in anticipation of improving market conditions and the competitive landscape and fortify our long-term capital structure.
Looking beyond the next 12 months, our primary funding needs will continue to center around home construction, finished lot acquisitions necessary to maintain a minimum four-year lot supply, growing active community count, growth into new and existing markets, and principal and interest payments on our Amended Credit Facility. We expect our existing cash reserves, along with generated cash flows and availability under our Amended Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operational activities and provide the necessary capital for future lot purchases and related growth strategies.
To the extent our current liquidity is insufficient to fund future activities, we may need to raise additional funds, such as refinancing or securing new secured or unsecured debt, common and preferred equity, disposing of certain assets to fund our operations, and/or other public or private sources of capital. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders will be diluted. The incurrence of additional debt financing would result in debt service obligations, and any future instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that could restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors—General Risk Factors—Access to financing sources may not be available on favorable terms, or at all, especially in light of current market conditions, which could adversely affect our ability to maximize our returns of our Annual Report.
Amended Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has a $325.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that was entered into concurrently with the IPO and amended in May 2025 (the Amended Credit Facility). The Amended Credit Facility matures in May 2029, except that the Company may request a one-year extension of such maturity date. The Amended Credit Facility also includes a $100.0 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments. The Amended Credit Facility provides that up to $20.0 million of the commitments may be used for letters of credit.
The borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility may not exceed the borrowing base as defined in the Amended Credit Facility. The borrowing base primarily consists of a percentage of commercial land, land held for development, lots under development, and finished lots held by Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest, at the borrower’s option, at either a base rate or SOFR (which may be a daily simple rate or based on 1-, 3- or 6-month interest periods, in each case at the borrower’s option), plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin will range from 2.35% to 3.00% based on our leverage ratio as determined in accordance with a pricing grid defined in the Amended Credit Facility and is subject to a floor of 0.00%. Interest is payable in arrears on the last business day of each month or at the end of each 1-, 3- or 6-month interest period, as applicable.
The Amended Credit Facility is unsecured. Upon the occurrence of certain triggers set forth in the Amended Credit Facility, Smith Douglas Homes Corp. may be required to provide a guarantee of the obligations of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and the other borrowers under the Amended Credit Facility.
The Amended Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, among others, including requirements to maintain (i) a minimum tangible net worth equal to the sum of (a) $286.1 million, (b) 32.5% of positive pre‑tax income
43
earned in any fiscal quarter after March 31, 2025, and (c) 50% of any new equity proceeds of Smith Douglas Homes Corp. and its subsidiaries at any time after March 31, 2025, (ii) a maximum leverage ratio of 60%, (iii) a minimum ratio of EBITDA to interest incurred of 2.00 to 1.00, and (iv) a minimum liquidity requirement of $15.0 million. The Amended Credit Facility also contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the ability of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC and the other borrowers to incur additional debt and to make certain investments and distributions. Additionally, the Amended Credit Facility contains certain covenants that restrict certain activities of Smith Douglas Homes Corp. The Amended Credit Facility also contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, failure to make payments, breach of covenants, and breach of representations. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the borrowers may be required to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Amended Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $63.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $0.8 million and $0.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, respectively.
The foregoing description of the Amended Credit Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Credit Facility, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025.
Additional liquidity requirements
We are a holding company and have no material assets other than our ownership of LLC Interests. We have no independent means of generating revenue. The Smith Douglas LLC Agreement provides for the payment of certain distributions to the Continuing Equity Owners and to us in amounts sufficient to cover the income taxes imposed on such members with respect to the allocation of taxable income from Smith Douglas Holdings LLC as well as to cover our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement and other administrative expenses.
Regarding the ability of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC to make distributions to us, the terms of their financing arrangements (including the Amended Credit Facility) contain covenants that may restrict Smith Douglas Holdings LLC or its subsidiaries from paying such distributions, subject to certain exceptions. Further, Smith Douglas Holdings LLC is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC (with certain exceptions), as applicable, exceed the fair value of its assets.
In addition, under the Tax Receivable Agreement, we are required to make cash payments to the Continuing Equity Owners equal to 85% of the tax benefits, if any, that we actually realize (or in certain circumstances are deemed to realize), as a result of (i) Basis Adjustments; (ii) Section 704(c) Allocations; and (iii) certain tax benefits (such as interest deductions) arising from payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We expect the amount of the cash payments we will be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be significant. The actual amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of redemptions or exchanges by the Continuing Equity Owners, the amount of gain recognized by the Continuing Equity Owners, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future, and the federal tax rates then applicable. Any payments made by us to the Continuing Equity Owners under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us.
Additionally, in the event we declare any cash dividends, we intend to cause Smith Douglas Holdings LLC to make distributions to us in amounts sufficient to fund such cash dividends declared by us to our stockholders. Deterioration in the financial condition, earnings, or cash flow of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC for any reason could limit or impair their ability to pay such distributions.
If we do not have sufficient funds to pay taxes or other liabilities or to fund our operations, we may have to borrow funds, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and subject us to various restrictions imposed by any such lenders. To the extent we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid; provided, however, that nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, if Smith Douglas Holdings LLC does not have sufficient funds to make distributions, our ability to declare and pay cash dividends will also be restricted or impaired.

Operating activities
We generated $4.9 million and used $63.8 million in net cash in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 benefited from cash generated by net income of $5.8 million and non-cash operating expenses of $14.3 million, which were partially offset by a $32.9 million increase in real estate inventory, $5.0 million increase in deposits on real estate under option or contract, and $25.0 million increase in accounts payable. Operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 benefited from cash generated by net income of $35.1 million and non-cash operating expenses of $5.4 million, which were more than offset by a $64.0 million increase in real estate inventory, $30.1 million increase in deposits on real estate under option or contract, and $10.3 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Investing activities
We used $1.2 million and $4.2 million in net cash in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to $1.1 million in purchases of property and equipment. The net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to $3.2 million in purchases of property and equipment and $1.1 million in investments in unconsolidated entities.
Financing activities
We used $2.2 million and generated $62.5 million in net cash from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to $23.0 million in net borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility, $16.1 million in payments related to repurchases of real estate not owned, $10.1 million in share repurchases, and $8.9 million in tax distributions, which were partially offset by $12.3 million in proceeds from sale of real estate not owned. The net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to $68.9 million in net borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility and $27.1 million in proceeds from sale of real estate not owned, partially offset by $23.6 million in tax distributions, $6.8 million in payments related to repurchases of real estate not owned, and $2.2 million in debt issuance costs.
Material Cash Commitments
There have been no material changes to the material cash commitments described in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
While using land bankers and third-party developers as part of our land-light operating strategy comes at an additional cost, we believe our lot acquisition strategy reduces our operating and financial risk relative to other
45
homebuilders that own and develop a higher percentage of their land supply. As of June 30, 2026, we had 664 owned unstarted lots in real estate inventory on our balance sheet which represented only 2.8% of our total controlled lot supply.
Under the umbrella of our land-light strategy, we generally seek to avoid engaging in land development. Where possible, we prefer to work with third-party developers that will sell us finished lots under lot-option contracts. In situations where we cannot find a developer partner, we will work with third-party land bankers. Under these land bank arrangements, we typically assign the land or lots we have under contract to the land banker. The land banker will acquire the land or lots directly, and if land development is necessary, we will simultaneously enter into a development agreement to complete the lots for the land banker. Additionally, we will enter a lot-option contract to acquire the finished lots on a takedown to match our projected sales absorption and starts pace. Typically, we are required to put up a deposit ranging between 5-20% on our lot-option contracts.
Our asset-light and capital efficient lot acquisition strategy is intended to avoid the financial commitments and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development by allowing us to control a significant number of lots for a relatively low capital cost. These option contracts generally allow us, at our option, to forfeit our right to purchase the lots controlled by these option contracts for any reason, and our sole legal obligation and economic loss as a result of such forfeitures is limited to the amount of the deposits paid pursuant to such option contracts and, in the case of land bank option contracts, any related fees paid to the land bank partner. We do not have any financial guarantees and we typically do not guarantee lot purchases on a specific performance basis under these agreements. In certain circumstances, we may have a completion obligation under development agreements with land bankers where we may be at-risk for certain cost overruns.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $134.8 million of non-refundable cash deposits under land and lot-option contracts pertaining to 13,986 lots with a remaining aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.05 billion.
Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit
From time to time, we may enter into surety bond and letter of credit arrangements with local municipalities, government agencies and developers. These arrangements relate to certain performance or maintenance-related obligations. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $0.8 million and $0.5 million outstanding letters of credit. Surety bonds do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed. These bonds, which totaled $56.6 million and $47.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are typically outstanding over a period of approximately one to five years depending on the pace of development. If banks were to decline to issue letters of credit or surety companies were to decline to issue surety bonds, our ability to operate could be restricted and could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, we must make decisions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. In reaching such decisions, we apply judgments based on our understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances, historical experience, and business valuations. Actual amounts could differ from those estimated at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1—Description of the business and summary of significant accounting policies to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of those significant accounting policies require us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments or estimates. An accounting estimate is considered to be critical if it meets both of the following criteria: (i) the estimate requires assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made, and (ii) different estimates reasonably could have been used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period may have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition, or results of operations. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1—Description of the business and summary of significant accounting policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
JOBS Act
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act, enacted on April 5, 2012. Section 102 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 accounting standards. We are choosing to “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards upon or prior to required public company adoption dates. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is irrevocable.
In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Specifically, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, we are not required to, and do not intend to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our systems of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Act, (iii) comply with the requirement of the PCAOB regarding the communication of critical audit matters in the auditor’s report on the financial statements, and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items, such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply until we no longer meet the requirements of being an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and inflation. These market risks arise in the normal course of business. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to the information included under Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
47
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we are subject to mediation, arbitration, litigation, or claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The results of any current or future claims or proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and litigation costs, diversion of management resources, reputational harm, and other factors. We do not believe that any existing claims or proceedings will have a material effect on our business, consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes in the risks affecting the Company since the filing of our Annual Report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
