The following provides additional details on the Company's performance during the fiscal third quarter 2026:

Profitability. Net loss was $4.2 million, generating diluted loss per share of $0.16. This included inventory impairment and abandonment charges and loss on debt extinguishment of $3.0 million or $0.07 per share. Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $15.6 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $32.1 million a year ago. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower operating margin.

Orders. Net new orders for the third quarter increased to 900, up 4.5% from 861 in the prior year quarter, driven by a 3.7% increase in sales pace to 1.8 orders per community per month from 1.7 in the prior year quarter and a 0.8% increase in average community count to 169 from 167 a year ago. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 15.9%, down from 19.8% in the prior year quarter.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of June 30, 2026 was $758.5 million, representing 1,303 homes, compared to $742.5 million, representing 1,352 homes, at the same time last year. The ASP of homes in backlog was $582.1 thousand, up 6.0% versus the prior year quarter. The increase in backlog ASP was primarily due to changes in product and community mix.

Homebuilding Revenue. Third quarter homebuilding revenue was $490.9 million, down 8.3% year-over-year. The decrease in homebuilding revenue was driven by a 13.4% decrease in home closings to 896 homes, partially offset by a 5.9% increase in ASP to $547.8 thousand. The decrease in closings was primarily due to lower beginning backlog, partially offset by improved construction cycle times compared to the prior year quarter.

Homebuilding Gross Margin. Homebuilding gross margin was 13.6%, up 10 basis points compared to a year ago. Excluding impairments, abandonments, and amortized interest, homebuilding gross margin was 16.9% for the third quarter, down from 18.4% in the prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in price concessions and closing cost incentives and changes in existing product and community mix. Homebuilding gross margin was up by 160 basis points sequentially from 12.0% in the prior fiscal quarter, and up 130 basis points from 15.6% sequentially when excluding impairments, abandonments, and interest amortization, primarily driven by reductions in direct construction costs and a larger share of closings from newer, higher-margin communities.

SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 14.1% for the quarter, up 90 basis points year-over-year primarily due to lower homebuilding revenue. SG&A expense was $72.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, relatively flat compared to the prior year quarter.

Income Taxes. Income tax benefit for the third quarter was $6.3 million compared to income tax benefit of $2.2 million in the prior year quarter. The Company's effective tax rate for the current fiscal quarter was impacted by a change in the approach used to calculate the interim income tax provision, reducing comparability with the prior year quarter. Refer to Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements within the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 for additional details.

Land Position. During the third quarter, land acquisition and land development spending was $199.6 million, up 29.7% year-over-year. Controlled lots decreased 11.9% to 24,489, compared to 27,794 from the prior year quarter. Excluding land held for future development and land held for sale lots, active lots controlled were 23,083, down 14.3% year-over-year, as the Company manages land spend and lot position to improve capital efficiency and support future community count growth. As of June 30, 2026, the Company controlled 60.0% of its total active lots through option agreements compared to 60.1% as of June 30, 2025.

Liquidity. At the close of the third quarter, the Company had $263.8 million of available liquidity, including $124.6 million of unrestricted cash and $139.2 million of remaining capacity under the unsecured revolving credit facility, compared to total available liquidity of $292.3 million a year ago. During the third quarter, the Company issued $400.0 million of 8.000% Senior Unsecured Notes due in January 2032 and retired the $357.0 million of 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes, which were set to mature in October 2027. The Company’s nearest maturity is now the $350.0 million tranche of Senior Unsecured Notes due in October 2029.

Share Repurchases. During the third quarter, the Company repurchased 1.0 million shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate $21.0 million at an average price per share of $21.01, bringing year-to-date repurchase activity to $66.2 million for 2.9 million shares at an average price of $23.04 per share. This equates to repurchasing 9.7% of the Company’s shares that were outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Commitment to Sustainability

During the third fiscal quarter, Beazer Homes received the Hearthstone BUILDER Humanitarian Award, the highest recognition for charitable leadership and community impact in the homebuilding industry.

• macroeconomic uncertainty, including high levels of inflation, elevated interest rates and insurance costs, stock market volatility, enhanced and/or altered government regulation resulting from legislation and/or executive orders, and historic changes in U.S. trade policy, negatively impacting consumer sentiment and softening demand for the homes we sell;

• elevated mortgage interest rates for prolonged periods, as well as further increases to, and reduced availability of, mortgage financing;

• supply chain challenges (including as a result of U.S. trade policies and retaliatory responses from other countries) negatively impacting our homebuilding production, including shortages of raw materials and other critical components such as windows, doors, and appliances;

• our ability to meet or achieve our sustainability related goals, aspirations, initiatives, and our public statements and disclosures regarding them;

• geopolitical disruptions, acts of war, terrorist attacks and other geopolitical developments outside the Company’s control, including the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, which have heightened, and may continue to heighten, existing economic uncertainty and contribute to increases in mortgage rates, higher energy prices, and other adverse macroeconomic pressures;

• decreased land values underlying land option agreements;

• increased land development costs in communities under development or delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to reduce our cycle times and production and overhead cost structures;

• the availability and cost of land and the risks associated with the future value of our inventory, including impairments and abandonment charges;

• our ability to raise debt and/or equity capital, due to factors such as limitations in the capital markets (including market volatility), adverse credit market conditions and financial institution disruptions, and our ability to otherwise meet our ongoing liquidity needs (which could cause us to fail to meet the terms of our covenants and other requirements under our various debt instruments and therefore trigger an acceleration of a significant portion or all of our outstanding debt obligations), including the impact of any downgrades of our credit ratings or reduction in our liquidity levels;

• market perceptions regarding any capital raising initiatives we may undertake (including future issuances of equity or debt capital);

• inefficient or ineffective allocation of capital, including with respect to planned share repurchases;

• increased competition or delays in reacting to changing consumer preferences in home design;

• natural disasters, severe weather, or other related events that could result in delays in land development or home construction, increase our costs or decrease demand in the impacted areas;

• shortages of or increased costs for labor used in housing production, including as a result of federal or state legislation, and/or enforcement, and the level of quality and craftsmanship provided by such labor;

• the potential recoverability of our deferred tax assets;

• potential delays or increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes to, or complying with, laws, regulations or governmental policies, and possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations or governmental policies, including those related to the environment;

• the results of litigation or government proceedings and fulfillment of any related obligations;

• the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims;

• the impact of governmental regulations on homebuilding in key markets, such as regulations limiting the availability of water and electricity (including availability of electrical equipment such as transformers and meters); and

• the success of our sustainability initiatives, as well as the success of any other related partnerships or pilot programs we may enter into in order to increase the energy efficiency of our homes.

Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income (GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP measure) is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing core operating results and underlying business trends by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position, level of impairments, and other non-recurring items. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
