PART I
ITEM 1.    BUSINESS
General
We are engaged in the design, construction and sale of new homes in markets in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, Colorado, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Tennessee, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Alabama, California, Oregon, Nevada, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Utah. Our management team has been in the residential land development business since the mid-1990s. Since commencing home building
operations in 2003, we have constructed and closed over 75,000 homes. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we had 6,131 home closings, including the
bulk sale of 103 leased, single-family homes, compared to 6,729 home closings in 2023.
LGI Homes, Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated on July 9, 2013. Our principal executive offices are located at 1450 Lake Robbins Drive, Suite
430, The Woodlands, Texas 77380, and our telephone number is (281) 362-8998. Information on or linked to our website is not incorporated by reference into
this Annual Report on Form 10-K unless expressly noted.
Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires, “LGI,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer collectively to LGI Homes, Inc. and its
subsidiaries.
Business Opportunities
Since December 2013, we have grown substantially, expanding our operations from eight markets in four states to 36 markets in 21 states. As of
December 31, 2024, we were active in 151 communities throughout the United States. We focus on demographic and economic trends forecasted for these
markets and expect to continue increasing our community count in the future.
Driven by commitment to our customers and our desire to make their dreams of homeownership a reality, we offer multiple product lines, including
attached and detached entry-level homes and active adult offerings that are marketed and sold under our LGI Homes brand and luxury homes that are marketed
and sold under our Terrata Homes brand.
During 2024, our average home completion time was approximately 105 to 135 calendar days, our home size ranged between 900 to approximately
4,100 square feet and our overall sales prices ranged from approximately $191,000 to more than $1,000,000. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we
closed 6,131 homes, including the bulk sale of 103 leased, single-family homes. Excluding the bulk sale of 103 leased, single-family homes, our average sales
price per home closed was $365,394. During 2023, our average home completion time was approximately 108 to 150 days, our home size ranged between 950
to approximately 4,100 square feet and our overall sales prices ranged from approximately $189,000 to more than $1,000,000. For the year ended
December 31, 2023, we closed 6,729 homes at an average sales price per home closed of $350,510.
We pursue a flexible land acquisition strategy of purchasing or optioning finished lots at attractive prices, or purchasing raw land for residential
development. Given our successful history as a land developer, we are experienced in converting raw land into residential communities. We endeavor to
maintain a pipeline of desirable land positions for replacement and new communities. We generally target land acquisitions that are further away from urban
centers than many other suburban communities but have access to major thoroughfares, retail districts and centers of business. Such areas generally result in a
better value for the homeowner, either through lower sales prices or larger lot sizes. We consider development opportunities that meet our profit and return
objectives, including opportunities that may involve the sale of home sites as a part of the product mix. Projects of interest are typically evaluated at the
division level using an extensive due diligence checklist that includes assessing the permitting and regulatory requirements, environmental considerations and
local market conditions and evaluating anticipated floor plans, pricing and financial returns. We also determine the number of potential residents in the market
and rental households that are within driving distance of the proposed project. We will continue to focus primarily on entry-level homebuyers.
Additionally, we engage in other business activities that leverage or complement our core homebuilding operations. Our wholesale business builds and
sells homes primarily to large institutions interested in acquiring single-family rental properties through bulk sales agreements. Beginning in 2021, we began
building and leasing a number of single-family homes in select, existing communities. These rental projects are income producing and we maintain the option
to sell these homes in a bulk purchase agreement. Finally, from time to time, we enter into strategic joint ventures. We have two equity-method real estate joint
ventures and four additional joint ventures engaged primarily to provide services, such as mortgage and insurance, to our homebuyers.

Sales and Marketing
Our well-defined sales and marketing approach focuses on converting renters of apartments and single-family homes into homeowners. We use extensive
digital and print advertising to attract potential homebuyers. We employ various marketing methods, such as digital marketing strategies, interactive online
media, social media, direct mail, directional signage, and billboards. These methods have proven highly successful in reaching our target market, placing
potential homebuyers in front of our trained sales professionals and communicating our core messages of value and dream fulfillment.
While a proportion of our business comes from realtors, our marketing efforts are principally designed to connect directly with potential customers
currently renting their residences and encourage them to schedule an in-person appointment at one of our information centers. Our information centers are
typically open eight to ten hours per day, 359 days per year, and generally staffed by two to four sales professionals who are supported by a dedicated loan
officer.
Our commission-based sales professionals are trained to learn about the current housing situation of the customer, educate them on the value proposition
of owning an LGI home and provide them with a comprehensive understanding of the steps required to achieve homeownership. We also inform customers of
our history, vision and values. Our sales professionals review credit and income qualifications if applicable, provide floor plans and pricing information, and
conduct tours of our homes based on the customer’s needs and budget. We provide each customer with a comprehensive introduction to the community and the
surrounding area, furnishing them with detailed information regarding utilities, schools, homeowners association dues and restrictions, local entertainment and
nearby dining and shopping options. As a result of our transparent approach, we believe customers receive all the critical information needed to make a buying
decision, which we believe sets clear expectations and eliminates confusion during the home buying process.
Homebuilding Operations
Our homebuilding operations are organized and managed by seven operating segments: West, Northwest, Central, Midwest, Florida, Southeast and Mid-
Atlantic. The Midwest division is included in our Central reportable segment and the Mid-Atlantic division is included in our Southeast reportable segment.

These operating segments reflect the way we evaluate our business performance and manage our operations. Additional information on our operating
segments and product information is contained in Note 14, “Segment Information” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We offer a set number of floor plans in each community with standardized finishes. Doing so enables us to utilize an even-flow, continuous construction
process that is designed to efficiently build and maintain an inventory of move-in ready homes that are available for immediate sale.  
We employ experienced construction management professionals to perform the tasks of general contractors for home construction in each of our
communities. Our employees provide the purchasing, construction management and quality assurance for the homes we build, while third-party subcontractors
provide the material and labor components of our homes. In each of our markets, we employ construction managers with local market knowledge and
expertise. Additionally, our construction managers monitor our compliance with zoning, safety, and other regulations, production schedules, and quality
standards for our projects.

Table of Contents
We endeavor to obtain favorable pricing from subcontractors through long-term relationships and consistent workflow. A number of our trade partners
have subcontracted on our projects since we commenced homebuilding operations in 2003. Consistency of our trade partners is an integral part of our
homebuilding operations that also leads to reduced warranty costs. We believe in building long lasting relationships with our trade partners in order to provide
consistent, quality and timely deliveries across our markets. We also work closely with our construction managers and subcontractors and train them using a
comprehensive construction manual that outlines the most efficient way to build an LGI home.
Our homebuilding operations utilize a paperless purchase order system to conduct business with our subcontractors and suppliers. Our master build
schedule allows our trade partners to receive their specific tasks from our electronic system and plan several weeks in advance before starting their work. This
means of communication allows our subcontractors to schedule their crews efficiently, thereby allowing for better pricing and better quality of work. Typically,
our contractors are paid every week, which contributes to the strength of our business relationships with them.
Our homes are designed to meet the preferences of our target market of potential homebuyers and enable cost efficient and effective construction
processes. In 2019, we introduced our CompleteHome
 and CompleteHome Plus
packages to continue our legacy of offering buyers well-appointed, move-
in ready homes, a streamlined buying experience, and superior quality with even more standard features than offered before. Each of these packages includes
preselected, upgraded features, including stainless steel appliances, cabinets with crown molding, granite or quartz countertops, undermount sinks, as well as
convenient outlets with USB charging capability and a Wi-Fi-enabled garage door opener. Additionally, both packages include programmable thermostats,
double-pane Low-E vinyl windows, LED flush mount ENERGY STAR lights and a variety of other energy-saving features. Our CompleteHome Plus package
includes everything in the CompleteHome package plus 42” upper cabinets, nine-foot ceilings, designer paint selections, additional landscaping and window
blinds in every room of the house.
We offer an attached townhome product in certain markets that enables us to keep our entry-level price point within reach of more new homebuyers. We
believe that this product helps to counter rising land and home costs.
Our active adult community offers affordable homes in both open and age-restricted lifestyles in amenity-rich communities. This community leverages
existing floor plans with minor modifications designed to meet the needs of active adult homebuyers at prices that present a compelling value-proposition.
Our Terrata Homes brand allows us to leverage our systems and processes, including our customer centric sales system, to deliver move-in ready homes
with preselected luxury features. During 2024, we closed 318 Terrata Homes at an average sales price per home closed of $637,000, compared to 260 Terrata
Homes at an average sales price per home closed of $587,000 in 2023. As of December 31, 2024, we offered Terrata Homes in 18 of our active communities.
We expect that home closings in our Terrata Homes branded communities will be less than 5% of our annual home closings during 2025.
Our two equity-method real estate joint ventures and four additional joint ventures provide a streamlined, customer-focused experience for our
homebuyers. LGI Mortgage Solutions provides mortgage services to our customers through an unconsolidated joint venture. LGI Insurance Solutions provides
homeowners and other insurance products to our customers through an unconsolidated joint venture.
Our wholesale business provides opportunities for us to leverage our even-flow construction methodology to build and sell homes primarily to large
institutions interested in acquiring homes to be used as rental properties through bulk sales agreements. During 2024 and 2023, we had 552 and 679 wholesale
home closings, respectively, which represented 9.2% and 10.1% of our total home closings in 2024 and 2023, respectively. We expect our wholesale business
to represent approximately 10% of our annual home closings during 2025.
Land Acquisition Policies and Development
We continue to be an active and opportunistic acquirer of land for residential development in our markets. We source land from a wide range of
landowners, brokers, lenders, builders and other land development companies. We generally acquire raw land and finished lots in affordable locations that are
further away from urban centers than many other suburban communities but have access to major thoroughfares, retail districts and centers of business. We
conduct thorough due diligence on each of our potential land acquisitions, and we typically look at numerous opportunities before finding one that meets our
requirements. We also maintain a pipeline of desirable land positions for replacement communities and new communities.
Our lot inventory decreased to 70,899 owned or controlled lots as of December 31, 2024 from 71,081 owned or controlled lots as of December 31, 2023
primarily related to our discipline in the evaluation of and selective approval of new land deals.
We had 151 and 117 active communities as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Generally, it takes us two to five years to turn
raw or undeveloped land into an active community.

We utilize land banking financing arrangements on a limited and strategic basis. We have land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land
banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a method of acquiring finished lots in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the
use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources. In consideration for this repurchase option, we paid a non-refundable commitment fee. Based
on our right to control the ultimate economic outcome of these finished lots, these assets will continue to be held as real estate not owned within our inventory
and have a corresponding obligation within our accrued liabilities to recognize this relationship. While we are not legally obligated to repurchase the balance
of the lots, we are subject to certain performance obligations, financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have any ownership interest
or title to the assets that we have sold to the land banker and we do not guarantee any of the land banker’s liabilities.
Our allocation of capital for land investment is performed at the corporate level with a disciplined approach to portfolio management. Our Acquisitions
Committee consists of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Executive Vice President of Acquisitions. Annually, our divisions prepare a
strategic plan for their respective geographic areas. Supply and demand are analyzed to ensure land investment is targeted appropriately. On an ongoing basis,
the long-term plan is compared to our recent experience in the marketplace and adjusted accordingly.
We have also purchased larger tracts of land across our markets which will provide us with more opportunities to build homes with multiple price points
in our communities. We believe that our land development expertise will allow us to meet our growth and profit objectives with respect to opportunities in
which we are the developer. Similar to our home building operations, our personnel oversee the contractors who perform the development work. Our land
development projects may include the sale of home sites or commercial property as a part of the project.
We have strong relationships with the land brokerage community in many of our markets. We believe that we have established a reputation within the
brokerage community for our systems-based approach to acquiring land, for having the capital to close deals and for making accurate and timely decisions that
benefit both the buyer and seller. For these reasons, we believe that brokers routinely notify us when desirable land opportunities that meet our criteria arise.
In our land acquisition process, projects of interest are typically evaluated at the division level using an extensive due diligence checklist that includes
assessing the permitting and regulatory requirements, environmental considerations and local market conditions and evaluating anticipated floor plans, pricing
and financial returns. We also acquire and develop land for use in our wholesale business.

Homes in Inventory
When entering a new community, we intend to build a sufficient number of move-in ready homes to meet our budgets. We base future home starts on
home closings. As homes are closed, we start more homes to maintain our inventory. As of December 31, 2024, we had a total of 2,685 completed homes,
including information centers, and 1,358 homes in progress.

Backlog
See discussion included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Backlog.”
Raw Materials and Labor
When constructing homes, we use various materials and components. We generally contract for our materials and labor at a fixed price for the anticipated
construction period of our homes. This allows us to mitigate the risks associated with increases in building materials and labor costs between the time
construction begins on a home and the time it is closed. Typically, the raw materials and most of the components used in our business are readily available in
the United States. We purchase some components and materials centrally to leverage our purchasing power to achieve volume discounts, a practice that often
reduces costs and ensures timely deliveries. We typically do not store significant inventories of construction materials, except for work in progress materials
for homes under construction. In addition, the majority of our raw materials are supplied to us by our subcontractors and are included in the price of our
contract with such subcontractors. Most of the raw materials necessary for our subcontractors are standard items carried by major suppliers. Our construction
work is substantially completed by third-party subcontractors, most of whom are non-unionized. We continue to monitor the supply markets to achieve the best
prices available. Typically, the price changes that most significantly influence our operations are price increases in labor, commodities and lumber. In future
quarters, we could see various cost pressures associated with inflation similar to the cost pressures experienced in the last few years. Generally, we have
successfully increased the sales prices of our homes to absorb these increased costs or have successfully made cost-effective changes as we endeavor to keep
our homes affordable.
Seasonality
The homebuilding industry generally exhibits seasonality. We have historically experienced, and in the future expect to continue to experience,
variability in our results on a quarterly basis. See discussion included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Seasonality.”
Government Regulation and Environmental, Health and Safety Matters
We are subject to numerous local, state, federal and other statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning zoning, development, building design,
construction and similar matters, which impose zoning and density requirements in order to limit the number of homes or mandate the type of structure that
can be built within the boundaries of a particular area. Projects that are not entitled may be subjected to periodic delays, changes in use, less intensive
development or elimination of development in certain specific areas due to government regulations. We may also be subject to periodic delays or may be
precluded entirely from developing in certain communities due to building moratoriums or “slow-growth” or “no-growth” initiatives that could be
implemented in the future. Local governments also have broad discretion regarding the imposition of development fees for projects in their jurisdiction.
Projects for which we have received land use and development entitlements or approvals may still require a variety of other governmental approvals and
permits during the development process and can also be impacted adversely by unforeseen health, safety and welfare issues, which can further delay these
projects or prevent their development.
We are also subject to a variety of local, state, federal and other statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning the environment, health and safety.
The particular environmental laws which apply to any given homebuilding site vary according to multiple factors, including the site’s location, whether the site
contains wetlands or other features that may create burdensome permitting requirements, its environmental conditions, the present and former uses of the site,
the presence or absence of endangered plants or species or sensitive habitats, and environmental conditions at adjoining or nearby properties. Environmental
laws and conditions may result in delays, may cause us to incur substantial compliance and other costs, and can
(1)

Table of Contents
prohibit or severely restrict homebuilding activity in environmentally sensitive regions or areas. In addition, in those cases where an endangered or threatened
species is involved, environmental rules and regulations can result in the restriction or elimination of development in identified environmentally sensitive
areas. From time to time, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) and similar federal, state or local agencies review land developers’
and homebuilders’ compliance with environmental laws and may levy fines and penalties, among other sanctions, for failure to strictly comply with applicable
environmental laws or impose additional requirements for future compliance as a result of past failures. Any such actions taken with respect to us may increase
our costs and result in delays. Further, we expect that increasingly stringent requirements will be imposed on land developers and homebuilders in the future.
Environmental regulations can also have an adverse impact on the availability and price of certain raw materials such as lumber.
Under various environmental laws, current or former owners of real estate, as well as certain other categories of parties, may be required to investigate
and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases, and may be held strictly and/or jointly and severally liable to a governmental entity
or to third parties for related damages, including property damage or bodily injury, and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by such parties in
connection with the contamination. A mitigation plan may be implemented during the construction of a home if a cleanup does not remove all contaminants of
concern or to address a naturally occurring condition, such as methane or radon. Some homebuyers may not want to purchase a home that is, or may have
been, subject to a mitigation plan. To date, we have not incurred any material unanticipated liabilities relating to the removal or remediation of toxic wastes or
other environmental conditions.
Competition
The U.S. homebuilding industry is highly competitive. We compete in each of our markets with numerous other national, regional and local
homebuilders for homebuyers, desirable properties, financing, raw materials and skilled labor. We also compete with sales of existing homes and with the
apartment and housing rental markets. Our homes compete on the basis of quality, price, design, mortgage financing terms and location. There has been some
consolidation among national homebuilders in the United States, and we expect that this trend may continue.
Human Capital Resources
LGI Homes is committed to being a people-focused organization and actively promotes a respectful and dignified workplace. We strive to uphold all
applicable laws and regulations in the markets where we conduct business and pursue business relationships with external partners who share our commitment
to lawful, ethical business conduct. We believe our commitments to hiring, training, safety and employee retention form the foundation of our people-focused
culture.
As of December 31, 2024, we employed 1,170 people, of whom 98 were located at our corporate headquarters. Of our employees located outside our
corporate headquarters, 689 were on-site sales and support personnel, and 383 were involved with acquisition and development, purchasing, and construction.
We have built a diverse team of professionals with a wide range of industry experience across our markets. None of our employees are covered by collective
bargaining agreements, and we have not experienced any strikes or work stoppages. We believe we have good relations with our employees. Our human
capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, training, retaining, incentivizing and integrating our existing and additional
employees. We offer our employees a wide array of company-paid benefits, which we believe are competitive relative to others in our industry.
We utilize subcontractors and tradespeople to perform the construction of our homes. We believe we have good relations with our subcontractors and
tradespeople.
We focus on identifying and attracting the best talent and providing our employees with world-class training and continuous development. Typically, all
new vice presidents, sales professionals and purchasing managers come to our corporate headquarters for a week of training in their first 100 days. We directly
invest in our sales professionals by conducting an intensive 100-day introductory training program consisting of 30 days of initial in-depth, in-house education
about our time-proven selling strategies and secondary training at the local division. Our continued commitment to our sales personnel is reflected in the
ongoing weekly training sessions held in each of our information centers and quarterly regional training events. We also work closely with our subcontractors
and tradespeople, training them on the most efficient way to build an LGI home. A number of our subcontractors and tradespeople have worked on our homes
since we commenced homebuilding operations in 2003 and, therefore, are familiar with our business model.
We are committed to providing competitive benefits to attract and retain employees, including benefits that facilitate healthy lifestyles, mental well-being
and preparedness for retirement.
We are committed to creating a safe and secure business environment that protects the health and safety of our employees, business partners and
customers. Our workplaces are required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those established by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, as they pertain to health and safety in the workplace. As part of this commitment, we have implemented a systems-based program of regularly
scheduled safety reviews, meetings

and continuing education that are held in our communities and include our employees and the employees of our subcontractors and tradespeople.
We are committed to improving and giving back to the communities we serve. In addition to ongoing charitable giving, we close all of our offices
nationwide once a year for our Service Impact Day. During this annual service event, our focus turns away from sales and home closings as we dedicate the
entire day to charitable giving and volunteerism. Every LGI employee spends the day contributing to the local community. From constructing fences and
cleaning up parks, organizing food, and volunteering at children's centers, we are committed to being a positive presence in the communities we build. Since
2016, we have contributed over $3.5 million in corporate, non-profit sponsorships, donated over 40,000 employee service hours and collaborated with over
100 non-profit organizations in an effort to make a meaningful impact in our local communities.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
Discussion of our business and operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read together with the risk factors set forth below.
They describe various risks and uncertainties we are or may become subject to, many of which are difficult to predict or beyond our control. Although the risks
summarized below are organized by heading, and each risk is summarized separately, many of the risks are interrelated. These risks and uncertainties, together
with other factors described elsewhere in this report, have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies
or prospects in a material and adverse manner.
Risk Factors Summary
Our business is subject to a number of risks, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or may adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects. These risks are discussed more fully below and include, but are not
limited to, risks related to:
•

our ability to acquire finished lots and land parcels suitable for residential homebuilding at reasonable prices;
◦
labor and raw material shortages and price fluctuations that could delay or increase the cost of home construction or land development;
◦
the impact of an epidemic or pandemic;
•
Industry and Economic Risks:
◦
higher mortgage interest rates, and the tightening of mortgage lending standards and mortgage financing requirements;
◦
a significant downturn in our housing markets or in the homebuilding industry;
◦
the homebuilding industry is highly competitive;
◦
new and existing laws and regulations or other governmental actions, including environmental, health and safety laws and regulations;
◦
increasing attention to environmental, social and governance matters;
◦
the seasonal nature of our business;
•
Strategic Risks Related to Our Business:
◦
our growth or expansion strategies may not be successful;
•
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure:
◦
we depend on key management personnel and other experienced employees;
◦

◦
we are a holding company, and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions from our subsidiaries to service our debt and pay dividends,
if any, taxes and other expenses;
•
General Risks:
◦
we may be subject to litigation, arbitration or other claims;
◦
information system failures, cyber incidents or breaches in security by us or third parties upon which we rely;
◦
complex and evolving U.S. laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection; and
◦
access to financing sources may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Operational Risks Related to Our Business
The long-term sustainability and growth in our home closings depends in part upon our ability to acquire finished lots and land parcels suitable for
residential homebuilding at reasonable prices.
The long-term sustainability of our operations as well as future growth depends in large part on the price at which we are able to obtain suitable finished
lots and land parcels for development to support our homebuilding operation. Our ability to acquire finished lots and land parcels for new single-family homes
and other projects may be adversely affected by changes in the general availability of land parcels, the willingness of land sellers to sell land parcels at
reasonable prices, competition for available land parcels, availability of financing to acquire land parcels, zoning, regulations that limit housing density, the
ability to obtain building permits, environmental requirements and other market conditions and regulatory requirements. If suitable lots or land at reasonable
prices become less available, the number of homes we may be able to build and sell could be reduced, and the cost of land could be increased substantially,
which could adversely impact us. As competition for suitable land increases, the cost of undeveloped lots and the cost of developing owned land could also
rise and the availability of suitable land at acceptable prices may decline, which could adversely impact us. The availability of suitable land assets could also
affect the
12

Table of Contents
success of our land acquisition strategy, which may impact our ability to maintain or increase the number of our active communities, as well as to sustain and
grow our revenues and margins, and achieve or maintain profitability. Additionally, developing undeveloped land is capital intensive and time consuming and
we may develop land based upon forecasts and assumptions that prove to be inaccurate, resulting in projects that are not economically viable.
In recent years, it has become more difficult to acquire finished lots in attractive locations and therefore we have been acquiring more undeveloped land
that we need to develop as compared to finished lots. This shift in our land procurement has resulted in longer lead time between when we acquire the land and
when we can start construction of a home on the land and thus a longer time that these land assets are on our balance sheet.
Risks associated with our land and lot inventories could adversely affect our business or financial results.
Risks inherent in controlling, purchasing, holding and developing land for new home construction are substantial. The risks inherent in purchasing and
developing land parcels increase as consumer demand for housing decreases and the holding period increases. As a result, we may buy and develop land
parcels on which homes cannot be profitably built and sold. In certain circumstances, a grant of entitlements or development agreement with respect to a
particular parcel of land may include restrictions on the transfer of such entitlements to a buyer of such land, which would negatively impact the price of such
entitled land by restricting our ability to sell it for its full entitled value. In addition, inventory carrying costs can be significant and can result in reduced
margins or losses in a poorly performing community or market. Developing land and constructing homes takes a considerable amount of time and requires a
substantial cash investment. Land development is a key part of our operations and we develop land in most of our markets. The time and investment required
for development may adversely impact our business. We have substantial real estate inventories that regularly remain on our balance sheet for significant
periods of time prior to their sale, during which time we are exposed to the risk of adverse market developments. Real estate investments are relatively difficult
to sell quickly. As a result, our ability to promptly sell one or more properties for reasonable prices in response to changing economic, financial and investment
conditions may be limited, and we may be forced to hold non-income producing properties for extended periods of time. Our business model is based on
building homes before a sales contract is executed and a customer deposit is received. Because interest and other expenses are capitalized only during the
development of land and home construction, we incur interest subject to capitalization criteria and recognize maintenance expenses on unsold completed
homes in inventory. As of December 31, 2024, we had 2,512 completed homes in inventory and 1,358 homes in progress in inventory. In the event there is a
continued downturn in home sales in our markets, our inventory of completed homes could increase, leading to additional financing costs and lower margins,
which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and operations. In the event of significant changes in economic or market conditions, we
may have to sell homes at significantly lower margins or at a loss, if we are able to sell them at all. Additionally, deteriorating market conditions could cause
us to record significant inventory impairment charges. The recording of a significant inventory impairment could negatively affect our reported earnings per
share and negatively impact the market perception of our business.
Labor and raw material shortages, price fluctuations and supply chain constraints could delay or increase the cost of home construction or land
development, which could materially and adversely affect us.
The residential construction industry experiences labor and raw material shortages from time to time, including shortages in qualified subcontractors and
tradespeople and supplies of materials such as insulation, drywall, cement, steel and lumber. These labor and raw material shortages can be more severe during
periods of strong demand for housing, during periods following natural disasters that have a significant impact on existing residential and commercial
structures or as a result of broader economic disruptions. In addition, pricing for labor and raw materials can be affected by the factors discussed above and
various other national, regional, local, economic and political factors, including changes in immigration laws or their enforcement, trends in labor migration
and tariffs. For example, the federal government previously imposed, and has recently proposed, new or increased tariffs or duties on an array of imported
materials and goods that are used in connection with the construction and delivery of our homes, including lumber, raising our costs for these items (or
products made with them). Such government-imposed tariffs and trade regulations on imported building supplies, and retaliatory measures by other countries,
may in the future have significant impacts on the cost to construct our homes and on our customers’ budgets, including by causing disruptions or shortages in
our supply chain. We cannot predict what changes to trade policy will be made by the current presidential administration, the U.S. Congress or other
governments, including whether existing tariff policies will be maintained or modified or whether the entry into new bilateral or multilateral trade agreements
will occur, nor can we predict the effects that any such changes would have on our business. We have also experienced labor shortages, price fluctuations and
increased labor costs, including as a result of inflation or wage increases, particularly over the past few years, before stabilizing recently, due to historic
inflation rates in the United States. It is uncertain whether these conditions will continue as is, improve or worsen. Further, our success in recently-entered
markets or those we may choose to enter in the future depends substantially on our ability to source labor and local materials on terms that are favorable to us.
Our markets may exhibit a reduced level of skilled labor relative to increased homebuilding demand in these markets. In the event of shortages in labor or raw
materials in such markets, local subcontractors, tradespeople and suppliers may choose to allocate their resources to homebuilders with an established presence
in the market and with whom they have longer-standing relationships. Labor and raw material shortages, price increases for labor and raw materials and supply
chain constraints could cause delays in and increase our costs of home
13

construction or land development, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our business and results of operations are dependent on the availability, skill and performance of subcontractors.
We engage subcontractors to perform the construction of our homes and the development of our raw land and, in many cases, to select and obtain the raw
materials used for such work. Accordingly, the timing and quality of our construction depend on the availability and skill of our subcontractors. While we
anticipate being able to obtain sufficient materials and reliable subcontractors and believe that our relationships with subcontractors are good, we do not have
long-term contractual commitments with any subcontractors, and we can provide no assurance that skilled subcontractors will be available at reasonable rates
and in our markets. In addition, as we expand into new markets, we typically must develop new relationships with subcontractors in such markets, and there
can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in a cost-effective and timely manner, or at all. The inability to contract with skilled subcontractors at
reasonable rates on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
Despite our quality control and jobsite safety efforts, we may discover from time to time that our subcontractors have engaged in improper construction
or safety practices or have installed defective materials in our homes or subdivisions. When we discover these issues, we typically utilize our subcontractors to
repair the defects. The adverse costs of repairing such defects or satisfying our warranty and other legal obligations in these instances may be significant and
we may be unable to recover the costs from subcontractors, suppliers and insurers, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects,
liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. We may also suffer reputational damage, and may be exposed to potential liability, from the actions of
subcontractors or their failure to comply with applicable laws, including matters that are beyond our control. Attempts at mitigation may not be successful, and
we could be subject to claims relating to actions of, or matters relating to, our subcontractors.
If we are unable to develop our communities successfully or within expected time-frames, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
Before a community generates any revenue, time and material expenditures are required to acquire land, obtain development approvals and construct
significant portions of project infrastructure, amenities and sales facilities. It can take several years from the time we acquire control of an undeveloped
property to the time we make our first home sale on the site. Delays in the development of communities, including delays associated with subcontractors
performing the development activities or entitlements, labor and raw material shortages or supply chain disruptions, expose us to the risk of changes in market
conditions for homes. A decline in our ability to develop and market one of our new undeveloped communities successfully and to generate positive cash flow
from these operations in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations and on our ability to service our debt
and to meet our working capital requirements. In addition, higher than expected absorption rates in existing communities may result in lower than expected
inventory levels until the development for replacement communities is completed.
We are subject to warranty and liability claims arising in the ordinary course of business that can be significant.
As a homebuilder and developer, we are subject to construction defect, product liability and home and other warranty claims arising in the ordinary
course of business. These claims are common to the homebuilding industry and can be costly. There can be no assurance that any developments we undertake
or homes we build will be free from defects once completed, and any defects attributable to us may lead to significant contractual or other liabilities. We rely
on subcontractors to perform the construction of our homes and the development of our communities and, in some cases, to select and obtain building
materials. Although we provide subcontractors with detailed specifications and perform quality control procedures, subcontractors may, in some cases, use
improper construction processes or defective materials. Defective products used during construction or defective construction of our homes or communities
can result in the need to perform extensive repairs. The cost of performing such repairs, or litigation arising out of such issues, may be significant if we are
unable to recover the costs from subcontractors, suppliers and/or insurers. Warranty and construction defect matters can also result in negative publicity,
including on social media outlets, which could damage our reputation and negatively affect our ability to sell homes.
We maintain, and require our subcontractors to maintain, general liability insurance (including construction defect and bodily injury coverage) and
workers’ compensation insurance and generally seek to require our subcontractors to indemnify us for liabilities arising from their work. While these insurance
policies, subject to deductibles and other coverage limits, and indemnities protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from claims related to our land
development and homebuilding activities, we cannot provide assurance that these insurance policies and indemnities will be adequate to address all our home
and other warranty, product liability and construction defect claims in the future, or that any potential inadequacies will not have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, the coverage offered by, and the availability of, general liability insurance for completed
operations and construction defects are currently limited and costly. We
14

Table of Contents
cannot provide assurance that coverage will not be further restricted, increasing our risks and financial exposure to claims, and/or become costlier.
We could be adversely affected by efforts to impose joint employer liability on us for labor law violations committed by our subcontractors.
Our homes are constructed by employees of subcontractors and other third parties. We do not have the ability to control what these parties pay their
employees or the rules they impose on their employees. However, various governmental agencies have taken actions to hold parties like us responsible for
violations of wage and hour laws and other labor laws by subcontractors. Governmental rulings that hold us responsible for labor practices by our
subcontractors could create substantial exposures for us under our subcontractor relationships, which could have a material adverse impact on our business,
prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be unable to obtain suitable bonding for the development of our housing projects.
We are often required to provide bonds, letters of credit or guarantees to governmental authorities and others to ensure the completion of our projects. As
a result of market conditions, some surety providers have been reluctant to issue new bonds and providers may require credit enhancements, such as cash
deposits or letters of credit, in order to maintain existing bonds or to issue new bonds. If we are unable to obtain required bonds in the future for our projects,
or if we are required to provide credit enhancements with respect to our current or future bonds or in place of bonds, our business, prospects, liquidity,
financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Poor relations with the residents of our communities could negatively impact sales, which could cause our revenues or results of operations to decline.
Residents of communities we develop rely on us to resolve issues or disputes that may arise in connection with the operation or development of their
communities. Efforts made by us to resolve these issues or disputes could be deemed unsatisfactory by the affected residents and subsequent actions by these
residents could adversely affect our sales or our reputation. In addition, we could be required to make material expenditures related to the settlement of such
issues or disputes or to modify our community development plans, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Any joint venture investments that we make could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision making authority, our reliance on the financial
condition of our joint venture partners and disputes between us and our joint venture partners.
We have two equity-method real estate joint ventures and four additional joint ventures engaged primarily to provide services, such as mortgage and
insurance, to our homebuyers. We may co-invest in the future with third parties through other partnerships, joint ventures or other entities, acquiring non-
controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for managing the affairs of a land acquisition and/or a development. In this event, we would not be in a
position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the acquisition and/or development, and our investment may be illiquid due to our lack of
control. Investments in partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third-party not
involved, including the possibility that our joint venture partners might become bankrupt, fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, make poor
business decisions or block or delay necessary decisions. Our joint venture partners may have economic or other business interests or goals which are
inconsistent with our business interests or goals and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Such investments may also have
the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor our joint venture partners would have full control over the land acquisition or
development. Disputes between us and our joint venture partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our
officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our joint
venture partners.
In addition, our LGI Mortgage Solutions joint venture involves additional risks associated with the mortgage banking business. The mortgage banking
business is competitive, and competitors include mortgage lenders, such as national, regional and local mortgage banks and other financial institutions. Some
of these competitors are subject to fewer governmental regulations and have greater access to capital than our joint venture does, and some of them may
operate with different criteria than our joint venture does. These competitors may offer a broader or more attractive array of financing and other products and
services to potential customers than our joint venture does. For these reasons, our joint venture may not be able to compete effectively in the mortgage banking
business. Further, the mortgage banking business is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, which, among other things: prohibit
discrimination and establish underwriting guidelines; provide for audits and inspections; require appraisals and/or credit reports on prospective borrowers and
disclosure of certain information concerning credit and settlement costs; establish maximum loan amounts; prohibit predatory lending practices; and regulate
the referral of business to affiliated entities. The regulatory environment for mortgage lending is complex and ever changing and has led to an increase in the
number of audits, examinations and investigations in the industry. The 2008 housing
15

Table of Contents
downturn resulted in numerous changes in the regulatory framework of the financial services industry. Any changes or new enactments could result in more
stringent compliance standards, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the market perception of our business.
Additionally, if we are unable to originate mortgages for any reason going forward, such as a cyberattack on our joint venture partners, our customers may
experience significant mortgage loan funding issues, which could have a material impact on our homebuilding business and our consolidated financial
statements.
Our business could be materially and adversely disrupted by an epidemic, pandemic or similar public health threat.
An epidemic, pandemic or similar serious public health issue, and the measures undertaken by governmental authorities to address it, could significantly
disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period, and thereby, along with any associated economic and social
instability or distress, have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects. For
instance, the COVID-19 pandemic, at its peak, resulted in federal, state and local governments imposing varying degrees of restrictions on business and social
activities to contain COVID-19. To the extent that an epidemic, pandemic or similar public health threat adversely impacts our business, results of operations,
liquidity or financial condition, it may also have the effect of increasing many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section. There is no guarantee
that a future outbreak of any widespread epidemics or pandemics will not occur, or that the U.S. economy will fully recover therefrom, either of which could
materially and adversely affect our business.
Industry and Economic Risks
Inflation could adversely affect our business and financial results.
Inflation could adversely affect our business and financial results by increasing the costs of land, raw materials and labor needed to operate our business.
Inflation may also accompany higher interest rates, which could adversely impact potential customers’ ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, thereby
decreasing demand for our homes. Historically, we have experienced a significant increase in land, labor, materials and costs related to construction. In an
inflationary environment, such as the economic environment we have experienced recently, depending on the homebuilding industry and other economic
conditions, we may be unable to raise the sales prices of our homes enough to offset the increasing costs of our operations, which would decrease our profit
margins. Furthermore, if we need to lower the sales prices of our homes to meet demand, the value of our land inventory may decrease. Inflation may also
raise our costs of capital and decrease our purchasing power, making it more difficult and/or more expensive to maintain sufficient funds to operate our
business.
Higher mortgage interest rates, tightening of mortgage lending standards and mortgage financing requirements, and untimely or incomplete
mortgage loan originations for our homebuyers could adversely affect the availability of mortgage loans for potential purchasers of our homes and
thereby materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
Almost all of our customers finance their home purchases through lenders that provide mortgage financing. Mortgage interest rates have increased
significantly since January 2022, which has negatively impacted the overall housing market. The current and continued macroeconomic conditions impacting
the homebuilding industry include inflation and mortgage interest rates. The significant burden of inflation and higher mortgage interest rates for our
customers since January 2022 are viewed by us as the primary driver behind the subsequent decrease in demand for new homes. However, we cannot predict
whether mortgage interest rates will rise, remain high or fall. If mortgage interest rates increase, the ability of prospective homebuyers to finance home
purchases may be adversely affected, and, as a result, our operating results may be significantly negatively impacted.
Additionally, rapid increases in interest rates may negatively impact the affordability of a home purchase for existing buyers in backlog who still need to
lock in a mortgage interest rate for their loan. This volatility could lead to an increase in cancellations of home purchase contracts. Our homebuilding activities
depend upon the availability of mortgage financing to homebuyers, which is expected to be impacted by ongoing regulatory changes and fluctuations in the
risk appetites of lenders. The financial documentation, down payment amounts and income-to-debt ratio requirements are subject to change and could become
more restrictive.
The federal government has a significant role in supporting mortgage lending through its conservatorship of Federal National Mortgage Association
(“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), both of which purchase or insure mortgage loans and mortgage loan-backed
securities, and its insurance of mortgage loans through or in connection with the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), the Veterans Administration
(“VA”) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). FHA and USDA backing of mortgage loans has been particularly important to the mortgage
finance industry and to our business. If either the FHA or USDA raised their down payment requirements or lowered maximum loan amounts, our business
could be materially affected. Increased lending volume and losses insured by the FHA have resulted in a reduction of the FHA insurance fund. The USDA
rural development program provides for zero down payment and 100%
16

Table of Contents
financing for homebuyers in qualifying areas. If the USDA program was discontinued or if funding was decreased, then our business could be adversely
affected. In addition, if the USDA changed its determination of areas that are eligible to qualify for the program, it could have an adverse effect on our
business. In addition, changes in governmental regulation with respect to mortgage lenders could adversely affect demand for housing.
The availability and affordability of mortgage loans, including mortgage interest rates for such loans, could also be adversely affected by a scaling back
or termination of the federal government’s mortgage loan-related programs or policies. Because Fannie Mae-, Freddie Mac-, FHA-, USDA- and VA-backed
mortgage loans have been an important factor in marketing and selling many of our homes, any limitations or restrictions in the availability of, or higher
consumer costs for, such government-backed financing could adversely affect our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
The elimination or curtailment of state bonds to assist homebuyers could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition
and results of operations.
In addition, certain current regulations impose, and future regulations may strengthen or impose new, standards and requirements relating to the
origination, securitization and servicing of residential consumer mortgage loans, which could further restrict the availability and affordability of mortgage
loans and the demand for such loans by financial intermediaries and, as a result, adversely affect our home sales, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, if, due to credit or consumer lending market conditions, reduced liquidity, increased risk retention or minimum capital level obligations and/or
regulatory restrictions related to certain regulations, laws or other factors or business decisions, these lenders refuse or are unable to provide mortgage loans to
our homebuyers, or increase the costs to borrowers to obtain such loans, the number of homes we close and our business, prospects, liquidity, financial
condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
First-time homebuyers are generally more affected by the availability of mortgage financing than other potential homebuyers. These homebuyers are a
key source of demand for our new homes. A limited availability of suitable mortgage financing may adversely affect the volume and sales price of our home
sales.
Increases in cancellations of purchase contracts could have an adverse effect on our business.
Our backlog reflects standard purchase contracts with our homebuyers for homes that still need to be delivered. We require a deposit from our
homebuyers for all homes reflected in our backlog, and generally, we have the right to retain the deposit if the homebuyer does not complete the purchase. In
some cases, however, a homebuyer may cancel the purchase contract and receive a complete or partial refund of the deposit for reasons such as state and local
law requirements, the homebuyer’s inability to obtain mortgage financing or the homebuyer’s failure to sell their current home. Homebuyers may also choose
to cancel their purchase contract and forfeit their deposit. As of December 31, 2024, we had 599 homes with an ending backlog value of $236.5 million. With
the weakening of the housing market over the past several years, we have experienced an increase in cancellation rates. If economic conditions decline further,
if mortgage financing becomes less available or more costly, or if our homes become less attractive due to market price declines or due to other conditions at
or in the vicinity of our communities, we could experience an additional increase in homebuyers canceling their purchase contracts with us, which could have
an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Any limitation on, or reduction or elimination of, tax benefits associated with homeownership would have an adverse effect upon the demand for
homes, which could be material to our business.
While tax laws generally permit significant expenses associated with homeownership, primarily mortgage interest expense and real estate taxes, to be
deducted for the purpose of calculating an individual’s federal and, in many cases, state taxable income, the ability to deduct mortgage interest expense and
real estate taxes for federal income tax purposes is limited. The federal government or a state government may change its income tax laws by eliminating,
limiting or substantially reducing these income tax benefits without offsetting provisions, which may increase the after-tax cost of owning a new home for
many of our potential homebuyers. Any such future changes may have an adverse effect on the homebuilding industry in general. For example, the loss or
reduction of homeowner tax deductions could decrease the demand for new homes. Any such future changes could also have a material adverse impact on our
business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant downturn in our housing markets or in the homebuilding industry generally may materially and adversely affect our business and
financial condition.
We cannot predict whether and to what extent the housing markets in the geographic areas in which we operate will grow, particularly if interest rates for
mortgage loans, land costs, and construction costs continue to rise or stay at similar levels. Other factors that might impact the homebuilding industry include
uncertainty in domestic and international financial, credit and consumer lending markets amid slow economic growth or recessionary conditions in various
regions or industries around the world, including as a result of an epidemic or pandemic, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle
East, or impacts from the change in U.S. presidential administration, tight lending standards and practices for mortgage loans

that limit consumers’ ability to qualify for mortgage financing to purchase a home, including increased minimum credit score requirements, credit
risk/mortgage loan insurance premiums, homeowners’ insurance premiums and/or other fees and required down payment amounts, higher home prices, more
conservative appraisals, changing consumer preferences, higher loan-to-value ratios and extensive buyer income and asset documentation requirements,
changes to mortgage regulations, slower rates of population growth or population decline in our markets, or Federal Reserve policy changes.
If there is limited economic growth, declines in employment and consumer income, changes in consumer behavior, including as a result of an epidemic
or pandemic, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East, impacts from the change in U.S presidential administration, and/or
tightening of mortgage lending standards, practices and regulation in the geographic areas in which we operate, or if interest rates for mortgage loans or home
prices continue to rise or stay at similar levels, there could likely be a corresponding adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition
and results of operations, including, but not limited to, the number of homes we sell, our average sales price per home closed, cancellations of home purchase
contracts and the amount of revenues or profits we generate, and such effect may be material.
Our industry is cyclical and adverse changes in general and local economic conditions could reduce the demand for homes and, as a result, could have
a material adverse effect on us.
Our business can be substantially affected by adverse changes in general economic or business conditions that are outside of our control, including
changes in short-term and long-term interest rates; employment levels and job and personal income growth; housing demand from population growth,
household formation and other demographic changes, among other factors (which may be driven by birth rate changes, economic factors or U.S. immigration
policies); availability and pricing of mortgage financing for homebuyers; housing affordability; consumer confidence generally and the confidence of potential
homebuyers in particular; consumer spending; financial system and credit market stability; private party and government mortgage loan programs (including
changes in FHA, USDA, VA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac conforming mortgage loan limits, credit risk/mortgage loan insurance premiums and/or other fees,
down payment requirements and underwriting standards), and federal and state regulation, oversight and legal action regarding lending, appraisal, foreclosure
and short sale practices; federal and state personal income tax rates and provisions, including provisions for the deduction of mortgage loan interest payments,
real estate taxes and other expenses; supply of and prices for available new or resale homes (including lender-owned homes) and other housing alternatives,
such as apartments, single-family rentals and other rental housing; homebuyer interest in our current or new product designs and new home community
locations; general consumer interest in purchasing a home compared to choosing other housing alternatives; interest of financial institutions or other businesses
in purchasing wholesale homes; and real estate taxes. Adverse changes in these conditions may affect our business nationally or may be more prevalent or
concentrated in particular submarkets in which we operate. Inclement weather, natural disasters (such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, prolonged
periods of precipitation, droughts and fires), other calamities and other environmental conditions can delay the delivery of our homes and/or increase our costs.
Civil unrest or acts of terrorism can also have a negative effect on our business. If the homebuilding industry experiences another significant or sustained
downturn, it would materially adversely affect our business and results of operations in future years.
In 2022, the Federal Reserve’s aggressive actions to stem inflation caused mortgage interest rates to increase significantly. The resulting increased costs
of borrowing negatively impacted customer sentiment and accelerated existing affordability constraints for potential homebuyers. As a result, many
homebuyers paused their home purchasing decisions.
The potential difficulties described above can cause demand and prices for our homes to fall or cause us to take longer and incur more costs to develop
land and build our homes. We may not be able to recover these increased costs by raising prices because of market conditions. The potential difficulties
described above could also lead some homebuyers to cancel or refuse to honor their home purchase contracts altogether.
The homebuilding industry is highly competitive and, if our competitors are more successful or offer better value to our customers, our business
could decline.
We operate in a very competitive environment that is characterized by competition from a number of other homebuilders and land developers in each
market in which we operate. Additionally, there are relatively low barriers to entry into our business. We compete with large national and regional
homebuilding companies, some of which have greater financial and operational resources than us, and with smaller local homebuilders and land developers,
some of which may have lower administrative costs than us. We may be at a competitive disadvantage with regard to certain of our large national and regional
homebuilding competitors whose operations are more geographically diversified than ours, as these competitors may be better able to withstand any future
regional downturns in the housing market. Furthermore, our market share in certain of our markets may be lower as compared to some of our competitors. In
addition, the homebuilding industry has been subject to increasing consolidation, which could result in existing competitors increasing their market share.
Such changes have the potential to increase competitive dynamics in affected markets. Many of our competitors also have longer operating histories and
longstanding relationships with subcontractors and suppliers in the markets in which we operate or to which we may expand.
18

Table of Contents
This may give our competitors an advantage in marketing their products, securing materials and labor at lower prices and allowing their homes to be delivered
to customers more quickly and at more favorable prices. We compete for, among other things, homebuyers, desirable land parcels, financing, raw materials and
skilled management and labor resources. Our competitors may independently develop land and construct homes that are substantially similar to our products.
Increased competition could hurt our business, as it could prevent us from acquiring attractive land parcels on which to build homes or make such
acquisitions more expensive, hinder our market share expansion and cause us to increase our selling incentives and reduce our prices. An oversupply of homes
available for sale or discounting of home prices could periodically adversely affect demand for our homes in certain markets and could adversely affect pricing
for homes in the markets in which we operate.
If we are unable to compete effectively in our markets, our business could decline disproportionately to our competitors, and our results of operations and
financial condition could be adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully in any of our markets.
Our inability to continue to compete successfully in any of our markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial
condition and results of operations.
Regional factors affecting the homebuilding industry in our current markets could materially and adversely affect us.
Our business strategy is focused on the acquisition of suitable land and the design, construction and sale of primarily single-family homes in residential
subdivisions, including planned communities, in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington,
Tennessee, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Alabama, California, Oregon, Nevada, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Utah. A prolonged economic
downturn in the future in one or more of these areas, or a particular industry that is fundamental to one or more of these areas, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Our communities in our West segment are especially susceptible to
restrictive government regulations and environmental laws.
Moreover, certain insurance companies doing business in states in which we operate could restrict, curtail or suspend the issuance of homeowners’
insurance policies on single-family homes. This could both reduce the availability of hurricane, fire and other types of natural disaster insurance, in general,
and increase the cost of such insurance to prospective purchasers of homes. Mortgage financing for a new home is conditioned, among other things, on the
availability of adequate homeowners’ insurance. There can be no assurance that homeowners’ insurance will be available or affordable to prospective
purchasers of our homes. Long-term restrictions on, or unavailability of, homeowners’ insurance could have an adverse effect on the homebuilding industry in
our markets and on our business. Additionally, the availability of permits for new homes in new and existing developments could be adversely affected by the
significantly limited capacity of the schools, roads, and other infrastructure.
If adverse conditions in these markets develop in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial
condition and results of operations. Furthermore, if buyer demand for new homes in these markets decreases, home prices could decline, which would have a
material adverse effect on our business.
Fluctuations in real estate values may require us to write-down the book value of our real estate assets.
The homebuilding and land development industries are subject to significant variability and fluctuations in real estate values. As a result, we may be
required to write-down the book value of our real estate assets in accordance with GAAP, and some of those write-downs could be material. Any material
write-downs of assets could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
If the market value of our land inventory decreases, our results of operations could be adversely affected by impairments and write-downs.
The market value of our land and housing inventories depends on market conditions. We acquire land for expansion into new markets and for
replacement of land inventory and expansion within our current markets. There is an inherent risk that the value of the land owned by us may decline after
purchase. The valuation of property is inherently subjective and based on the individual characteristics of each property. We may have acquired options on or
bought and developed land at a cost we will not be able to recover fully or on which we cannot build and sell homes profitably. In addition, our deposits for
lots controlled under purchase, option or similar contracts may be put at risk.
Factors such as changes in regulatory requirements and applicable laws (including in relation to building regulations, taxation and planning), political
conditions, the condition of financial markets, both local and national economic conditions, the financial condition of customers, potentially adverse tax
consequences, and interest and inflation rate fluctuations are subject to uncertainty. Moreover, our valuations are made on the basis of assumptions that may
not prove to reflect economic or demographic reality.
19

Table of Contents
If housing demand fails to meet our expectations when we acquired our inventory, our profitability may be adversely affected and we may not be able to
recover our costs when we build and sell houses. We regularly review the value of our land holdings and continue to review our holdings on a periodic basis.
Material write-downs and impairments in the value of our inventory may be required, and we may in the future sell land or homes at a loss, which could
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Interest rate changes may adversely affect us.
Increases in interest rates can make it more difficult and/or expensive for us to obtain the funds we need to operate our business. Increases in interest
rates generally could increase the interest rates we must pay on borrowings under the Credit Agreement (as defined herein) and on any subsequent issuances of
debt securities. Adverse economic conditions could also cause the terms on which we borrow to be unfavorable. We could be required to liquidate one or more
of our assets at times which may not permit us to receive an attractive return on our assets in order to meet our debt service obligations.
Difficulties with appraisal valuations in relation to the proposed sales price of our homes could force us to reduce the price of our homes for sale.
Each of our home sales may require an appraisal of the home value before closing. These appraisals are professional judgments of the market value of
the property and are based on a variety of market factors. If our internal valuations of the market and pricing do not line up with the appraisal valuations and
appraisals are not at or near the agreed upon sales price, we may be forced to reduce the sales price of the home to complete the sale. These appraisal issues
could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Any future government shutdowns or slowdowns may materially adversely affect our business or financial results.
Any future government shutdowns or slowdowns may materially adversely affect our business or financial results. We can make no assurances that
potential home closings affected by any such shutdown or slowdown will occur after the shutdown or slowdown has ended.
Natural disasters, severe weather and adverse geological conditions may increase costs, cause project delays and reduce consumer demand for
housing, all of which could materially and adversely affect us.
Our homebuilding operations are located in areas that are subject to natural disasters, severe weather or adverse geological conditions. These include, but
are not limited to, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods, storm surge, coastal erosion, sea level rise, brushfires, wildfires, prolonged periods of precipitation,
landslides, soil subsidence, earthquakes and other natural disasters. The occurrence of any of these events could damage our land parcels and projects, cause
delays in completion of our projects, reduce consumer demand for housing, increase mortgage default risk, and cause shortages and price increases in labor or
raw materials, any of which could affect our sales and profitability. In addition to directly damaging our land or projects, many of these natural events could
damage roads and highways providing access to our assets, affect the desirability of our land or projects or result in potential buyers facing higher costs for, or
being unable to obtain, fire, flood or other hazard insurance coverage in certain areas, thereby reducing the number of potential buyers who can afford, or are
willing, to purchase homes in those areas, adversely affecting our ability to market homes or sell land in those areas and possibly increasing the costs of
homebuilding completion. For example, the incidence of large wildfires in California has substantially increased in recent years, and the risk of future wildfires
is expected to increase. The housing markets in areas affected by California’s recent wildfires have been adversely affected by increased insurance costs and
difficulties in obtaining homeowners’ insurance, which we expect to be exacerbated by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. These natural events could also
prompt governmental authorities to adopt more stringent building codes, which would likely increase development costs in affected areas and negatively
impact home affordability and/or demand. Furthermore, the occurrence of natural disasters, severe weather and other adverse geological conditions has
increased in recent years due to climate change and may continue to increase in the future. Climate change may have the effect of making the risks described
above occur more frequently and more severely, which could amplify the adverse impact on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results
of operations.
There are some risks of loss for which we may be unable to purchase insurance coverage. For example, losses associated with hurricanes, landslides,
prolonged periods of precipitation, earthquakes and other weather-related and geologic events may not be insurable and other losses, such as those arising from
terrorism, may not be economically insurable. A sizeable uninsured loss could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, liquidity, financial
condition and results of operations.
New and existing laws and regulations or other governmental actions may increase our expenses, limit the number of homes that we can build or
delay completion of our projects.
We are subject to numerous local, state, federal and other statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning zoning, development, building design,
construction, accessibility, anti-discrimination and other matters, which, among other things, impose restrictive zoning and density requirements, the result of
which is to limit the number of homes that can be built within
20

Table of Contents
the boundaries of a particular area. We may encounter issues with entitlement, not identify all entitlement requirements during the pre-development review of a
project site, or encounter zoning changes that impact our operations. Projects for which we have not received land use and development entitlements or
approvals may be subjected to periodic delays, changes in use, less intensive development or elimination of development in certain specific areas due to
government regulations. We may also be subject to periodic delays or incur additional costs or may be precluded entirely from developing in certain
communities due to building moratoriums or zoning changes. Such moratoriums generally relate to availability of utilities, such as insufficient water supplies,
sewage facilities and delays in utility hook-ups, or inadequate road capacity within specific market areas or subdivisions. Local governments also have broad
discretion regarding the imposition of development fees for projects in their jurisdiction. Projects for which we have received land use and development
entitlements or approvals may still require a variety of other governmental approvals and permits during the development process and can also be impacted
adversely by unforeseen health, safety and welfare issues, which can further delay these projects or prevent their development. As a result of any of these
statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations, the timing of our home sales could be delayed, the number of our home sales could decline and/or our costs could
increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, which may increase our costs, result in liabilities, limit the areas in which we
can build homes and/or delay completion of our projects.
We are subject to a variety of local, state, federal and other laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning the environment, hazardous
materials, the discharge of pollutants and human health and safety. The particular environmental requirements that apply to any given site vary according to
multiple factors, including the site’s location, whether the site contains wetlands or other features that may create burdensome permitting requirements, its
environmental conditions, the present and former uses of the site, the presence or absence of endangered plants or animals or sensitive habitats, and
environmental conditions at adjoining or nearby properties. We may not identify all of these concerns during any pre-acquisition or pre-development review of
project sites. Environmental requirements and conditions may result in delays, may cause us to incur substantial compliance and other costs, and can prohibit
or severely restrict development and homebuilding activity in environmentally sensitive regions or in areas contaminated by others before we commence
development. In some instances, regulators from different governmental agencies do not concur on development, remedial standards or property use
restrictions for a project, and the resulting delays or additional costs can be material for a given project.
From time to time, the EPA and similar federal, state or local agencies review land developers’ and homebuilders’ compliance with environmental laws
and may levy fines and penalties, among other sanctions, for failure to strictly comply with applicable environmental laws, including those applicable to the
control of storm water discharges during construction, or impose additional requirements for future compliance as a result of past failures. Any such actions
taken with respect to us may increase our costs and result in project delays. Further, we expect that increasingly stringent requirements will be imposed on land
developers and homebuilders in the future. We cannot assure you that environmental, health and safety laws will not change or become more stringent in the
future in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Environmental laws and regulations relating to climate change and energy can have an adverse impact on our activities, operations and profitability
and on the availability and price of certain raw materials, such as lumber, steel, and concrete.
There is a growing concern from advocacy groups and the general public that the emissions of greenhouse gases and other human activities have caused,
and will continue to cause, significant changes in weather patterns and temperatures and the frequency and severity of natural disasters. Government mandates,
standards and regulations enacted in response to these projected climate change impacts and concerns could result in restrictions on land development in
certain areas or increased energy, transportation and raw material costs. On January 20, 2021, President Biden signed an instrument that led to the United
States’ reentry into the Paris Agreement, which requires countries to review and “represent a progression” in their intended nationally determined
contributions, which set greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, every five years. The Paris Agreement requires the parties to complete a global stocktake,
assessing members’ collective efforts and achievements in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change, every five years.
On December 13, 2023, the 28th annual UN Climate Change Conference (“COP 28”) issued its first global stocktake, which calls on parties, including the
United States, to contribute to transitioning away from fossil fuels, reduce methane emissions, and increase renewable energy
capacity, amongst other things, to achieve net zero by 2050. Despite the issuance of an executive order on January 20, 2025 initiating the process to withdraw
the United States from the Paris Agreement, we anticipate that a variety of legislation may be enacted or considered for enactment at the state and local levels
relating to climate change and energy. This legislation could relate to, for example, matters such as greenhouse gas emissions control and building and other
codes that impose energy efficiency standards or require energy saving construction materials. On June 1, 2022, the Biden Administration launched the
National Initiative to Advance Building Codes, an initiative to modernize building codes, improve climate resilience, and reduce energy costs and the Inflation
Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA 2022”), through various grants and tax incentives, encourages municipalities to adopt stricter energy codes, both of which
could increase the cost to construct homes and cause
21

Table of Contents
delays. Pursuant to an executive order issued on January 20, 2025, the disbursement of funds appropriated under the IRA 2022 and the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act was paused.
Certain state and local governments in areas such as California have passed, or are considering, legislation banning the use of natural gas-fired appliances
in new homes, which could affect our costs to construct homes as well as consumer demand for the homes we construct. New building or other code
requirements that impose stricter energy efficiency standards or requirements for building materials could significantly increase our cost to construct homes.
As climate change concerns continue to grow, legislation, regulations, mandates, standards and other requirements of this nature are expected to continue to be
enacted and become costlier for us to comply with. Similarly, energy-related initiatives affect a wide variety of companies throughout the United States and
because our operations are heavily dependent on significant amounts of raw materials, such as lumber, steel, and concrete, these initiatives could have an
adverse impact on our operations and profitability to the extent the manufacturers and suppliers of our materials are burdened with expensive cap and trade or
similar energy-related regulations.
Ownership, leasing or occupation of land and the use of hazardous materials carries potential environmental risks and liabilities.
We are subject to a variety of local, state and federal statutes, rules and regulations concerning easements, land use and the protection of health and the
environment, including those governing discharge of pollutants to soil, water and air, the handling of hazardous materials such as asbestos, and the cleanup of
contaminated sites. We may be liable for the costs of removal, investigation or remediation of man-made or natural hazardous or toxic substances located on,
under or in a property currently or formerly owned, leased or occupied by us, whether or not we caused or knew of the pollution.
The particular impact and requirements of environmental laws that apply to any given community vary greatly according to the site, its environmental
conditions and the present and former uses of the site. We expect that increasingly stringent requirements will be imposed on land developers and
homebuilders in the future. Environmental laws may result in delays, cause us to implement time consuming and expensive compliance programs and prohibit
or severely restrict development in certain environmentally sensitive regions or areas, such as wetlands. Concerns could arise due to post-acquisition changes
in laws or agency policies, or the interpretation thereof.
Furthermore, we could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, fines, penalties and other sanctions and damages from third-party claims for
property damage or personal injury, as a result of our failure to comply with, or liabilities under, applicable environmental laws and regulations. These matters
could adversely affect our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
As a homebuilding and land development business with a wide variety of historic ownership, development, homebuilding and construction activities, we
could be liable for future claims for damages as a result of the past or present use of hazardous materials, including building materials or fixtures known or
suspected to be hazardous or to contain hazardous materials or due to use of building materials or fixtures that are associated with mold. Any such claims may
adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Insurance coverage for such claims may be limited or nonexistent.
We have provided unsecured environmental indemnities to certain lenders and other contractual counterparties. These indemnities obligate us to
reimburse the guaranteed parties for damages related to environmental matters, and generally there is no term or damage limitation on these indemnities.
Increasing attention to environmental, social and governance matters may impact our business, financial results or stock price.
In recent years, increasing attention has been given to corporate activities related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters in public
discourse and the investment community. A number of advocacy groups, both domestically and internationally, have campaigned for governmental and private
action to promote change at public companies related to ESG matters, including through the investment and voting practices of investment advisers, public
pension funds, universities and other members of the investing community. These activities include increasing attention and demands for action related to
climate change and promoting the use of energy saving building materials. A failure to comply with investor or customer expectations and standards, which
are evolving, or if we are perceived to not have responded appropriately to the growing concern for ESG issues, regardless of whether there is a legal
requirement to do so, could also cause reputational harm to our business and could have a material adverse effect on us.
In addition, organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings systems for
evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. These ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions.
Unfavorable ESG ratings may lead to increased negative investor sentiment toward us and our industry and to the diversion of investment to other industries,
which could have a negative impact on our stock price and our access to and costs of capital.

Climate change is a focus of both the SEC and investors. In March 2024, the SEC adopted a set of rules that require a wide range of climate-related
disclosures, including material climate-related risks, information on any climate-related targets or goals that are material to the registrant’s business, results of
operations, or financial condition, Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions on a phased-in basis by certain larger registrants when those emissions are material
and the filing of an attestation report covering the same, and disclosure of the financial statement effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions
including costs and losses. Compliance dates under the final rule are phased in by registrant category. Multiple lawsuits have been filed challenging the SEC’s
new climate rules, which have been consolidated in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the final
rules until judicial review is complete. In September 2023, California passed climate-related disclosure mandates that are broader than the SEC’s rules.
Compliance with these disclosure rules may be costly and subject a company to criticism by regulators, investors, the media or other stakeholders for the
accuracy, adequacy or completeness of its ESG disclosures and could adversely impact a company’s reputation and financial position.
Changes in tax law could adversely affect our business.
U.S. tax law is always subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect). For example, in August 2022, the United States enacted the IRA 2022, which
contains significant changes to U.S. tax law including, but not limited to, a corporate minimum tax and 1% excise tax on stock repurchases. Other potential
changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), include changes to the U.S. corporate income tax rate and provisions limiting or
eliminating various deductions, credits or tax preferences. Interpretations of the Code and regulations promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service are
likewise subject to change. As states elect to conform (or else have rolling conformity) to the Code, such interpretations and regulations (including those
promulgated by state authorities) could likewise affect our state income and franchise tax obligations. Any future changes in tax law, including changes to U.S.
federal, state, territorial or local tax law, could affect our tax position and adversely impact our business.
Because of the seasonal nature of our business, our quarterly operating results fluctuate.
As discussed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Seasonality,” we have historically
experienced, and in the future expect to continue to experience, variability in our results of operations from quarter to quarter due to the seasonal nature of the
homebuilding industry. We generally close more homes in our second, third and fourth quarters. Thus, our revenues may fluctuate on a quarterly basis, and we
may have higher capital requirements in our second, third and fourth quarters in order to maintain our inventory levels. Accordingly, there is a risk that we will
invest significant amounts of capital in the acquisition and development of land and construction of homes that we do not sell at anticipated pricing levels or
within anticipated time frames. If, due to market conditions, construction delays or other causes, we do not complete home sales at anticipated pricing levels or
within anticipated time frames, our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected. We expect this
seasonal pattern to continue over the long term, but we can make no assurances as to the degree to which our historical seasonal patterns will occur in the
future.

A major health and safety incident relating to our business could be costly in terms of potential liabilities and reputational damage.
Building sites are inherently dangerous, and operating in the homebuilding and land development industry poses certain inherent health and safety risks,
including exposure to hazardous substances. Due to health and safety regulatory requirements and the number of projects we work on, health and safety
performance is critical to the success of all areas of our business.
Any failure in health and safety performance on our building sites may result in penalties for non-compliance with relevant regulatory requirements or
litigation, and a failure that results in a major or significant health and safety incident is likely to be costly in terms of potential liabilities incurred as a result.
Such a failure could generate significant negative publicity and have a corresponding impact on our reputation and our relationships with relevant regulatory
agencies, governmental authorities and local communities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial
condition and results of operations.
Difficulty in obtaining sufficient capital could result in an inability to acquire land for our developments or increased costs and delays in the
completion of development projects, increase home construction costs or delay home construction entirely.
The homebuilding and land development industry is capital-intensive and requires significant up-front expenditures to acquire land parcels and begin
development. In addition, if housing markets are not favorable or permitting or development takes longer than anticipated, we may be required to hold our
investments in land for extended periods of time. If internally generated funds are not sufficient, we may seek additional capital in the form of equity or debt
financing from a variety of potential sources, including additional bank financings and/or securities offerings. The availability of borrowed funds, especially
for land acquisition and construction financing, may be constrained regionally or nationally, and the lending community may require increased amounts of
equity to be invested in a project by borrowers in connection with both new loans and the extension of existing loans. Since the global recession in 2008, credit
and capital markets have, from time to time, experienced unusual volatility. If we are required to seek additional financing to fund our operations, continued
volatility in these markets may restrict our flexibility to access such financing. Furthermore, any downgrade of our credit ratings or other negative rating
actions by credit agencies may make it more difficult and costly for us to access capital. If we are not successful in obtaining sufficient funding for our planned
capital and other expenditures or if we do not properly allocate our funding, we may be unable to acquire additional land for development and/or to construct
new housing. Additionally, if we cannot obtain additional financing to fund the purchase of land under our purchase contracts, we may incur contractual
penalties, fees and increased expenses from the write-off of due diligence and pre-acquisition costs. Any difficulty in obtaining sufficient capital for planned
development expenditures could also cause project delays and any such delay could result in cost increases. Any one or more of the foregoing events could
have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
Strategic Risks Related to Our Business
We cannot make any assurances that our growth or expansion strategies will be successful or not expose us to additional risks.
We have expanded our business through selected investments in new geographic markets and by diversifying our products in certain markets.
Investments in land, finished lots, home inventories and rental properties can expose us to risks of economic loss and inventory impairments if housing
conditions weaken or we are unsuccessful in implementing our growth strategies.
We may develop communities in which we build townhomes or other multi-family homes in addition to single-family homes, sell acreage home sites as a
part of the development, sell homes to investors or portfolio management companies, or develop commercial properties that may be complementary to our
communities. We might acquire another homebuilder or developer in order to accomplish our growth or expansion strategies. We can give no assurance that
we will be able to successfully identify, acquire or implement these new strategies in the future. Accordingly, any such expansion, including through
acquisitions, could expose us to significant risks, beyond those associated with operating our existing business, including understanding and complying with
the laws and regulations of new jurisdictions, diversion of our management’s attention from ongoing business concerns, difficulties in integrating an acquired
business, and incurrence of unanticipated liabilities and expenses and may materially adversely affect our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and
results of operations.
We may incur a variety of costs to engage in future growth or expansion of our operations, including through add-on acquisitions, and the anticipated
benefits may never be realized.
We intend to grow our operations in existing markets, and we may expand into new markets or pursue opportunistic purchases of other homebuilders on
attractive terms as, and if, such opportunities arise. We may be unable to achieve the anticipated benefits of any such growth or expansion, including through
add-on acquisitions or through efficiencies that we may
24

Table of Contents
be unable to achieve, the anticipated benefits may take longer to realize than expected or we may incur greater costs than expected in attempting to achieve the
anticipated benefits. In such cases, we will likely need to employ additional personnel or consultants that are knowledgeable of such markets. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to employ or retain the necessary personnel to successfully implement a disciplined management process and culture with local
management, that our expansion operations will be successful, or that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired homebuilder. This could disrupt
our ongoing operations and divert management resources that would otherwise focus on developing our existing business. Accordingly, any such expansion
could expose us to significant risks beyond those associated with operating our existing business and may adversely affect our business, prospects, liquidity,
financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
We depend on key management personnel and other experienced employees.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of certain key management personnel, including, but not limited to, Eric Lipar, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Although we have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Lipar, there is no guarantee that Mr.
Lipar will remain employed by us. Our ability to retain our key management personnel or to attract suitable replacements should any members of our
management team leave is dependent on the competitive nature of the employment market. The loss of services from key management personnel or a
limitation in their availability could materially and adversely impact our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Further,
such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets. We have not obtained key man life insurance that would provide us with proceeds in the event
of the death or disability of any of our key management personnel.
Experienced employees in the homebuilding, land acquisition, development, and construction industries are fundamental to our ability to generate, obtain
and manage opportunities. In particular, local knowledge and relationships are critical to our ability to source attractive land acquisition opportunities.
Experienced employees working in the homebuilding, development and construction industries are highly sought after. Failure to attract and retain such
personnel or to ensure that their experience and knowledge is not lost when they leave the business through retirement, redundancy or otherwise may adversely
affect the standards of our service and may have an adverse impact on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
Termination of the employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer could be costly and prevent a change in control of our company.
The employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, Eric Lipar, provides that if his employment with us terminates under certain
circumstances, we may be required to pay him a significant amount of severance compensation, thereby making it costly to terminate his employment.
Furthermore, these provisions could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control of our company that might involve a premium paid for shares of our
common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We expect to use leverage in executing our business strategy, which may adversely affect the return on our assets.
We expect to employ prudent levels of leverage to finance the acquisition and development of our lots and construction of our homes. Our existing
indebtedness is recourse to us, and we anticipate that future indebtedness will likewise be recourse. As of December  31, 2024, we had a $1.205 billion
revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement to finance our construction and development activities. As of December 31, 2024, we had outstanding
borrowings of $401.9 million under the Credit Agreement and we could borrow an additional $270.5 million under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31,
2024, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bore interest at a rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.85% per annum. In addition, as
of December 31, 2024, we had outstanding $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes (as defined herein), $300.0 million aggregate
principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes (as defined herein) and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Senior Notes (as defined herein).
The Board will consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding the incurrence of new
indebtedness, including the purchase price of assets to be acquired with debt financing, if any, the estimated market value of our assets and the ability of
particular assets, and our company as a whole, to generate cash flow to cover the expected debt service. As a means of sustaining our long-term financial
health and limiting our exposure to unforeseen dislocations in the debt and financing markets, we currently expect to remain conservatively capitalized.
However, our certificate of incorporation does not contain a limitation on the amount of indebtedness we may incur, and the Board may change our target debt
levels at any time without the approval of our stockholders.
Incurring substantial indebtedness could subject us to many risks that, if realized, would adversely affect us, including the risk that:
25

Table of Contents
•
our cash flow from operations may be insufficient to make required payments of principal of and interest on the debt, which is likely to result in
acceleration of such indebtedness;
•
our indebtedness may increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions with no assurance that our profitability will
increase with higher financing cost;
•
we may be required to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available
for operations and capital expenditures, future investment opportunities or other purposes; and
•
the terms of any refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of the indebtedness being refinanced.
If we do not have sufficient funds to repay our indebtedness at maturity, it may be necessary to refinance the indebtedness through additional debt or
additional equity financings. If, at the time of any refinancing, prevailing interest rates or other factors result in higher interest rates on refinancings, increases
in interest expense could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, we may
be forced to dispose of our assets on disadvantageous terms, potentially resulting in losses. To the extent we cannot meet any future debt service obligations,
we will risk losing some or all of our assets that may be pledged to secure our obligations to foreclosure. Unsecured debt agreements may contain specific
cross-default provisions with respect to specified other indebtedness, giving the unsecured lenders the right to declare a default if we are in default under other
indebtedness in some circumstances. Defaults under the Credit Agreement and our other debt agreements, if any, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
Our current financing arrangements contain, and our future financing arrangements likely will contain, restrictive provisions, performance
obligations and penalties.
Our current financing agreements contain, and the financing arrangements we enter into in the future likely will contain, provisions that limit our ability
to do certain things. In particular, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain (i) a tangible net worth of not less than $1,218.2 million plus 50% of the net
proceeds of equity issuances after December 31, 2022 plus 50.0% of our positive consolidated earnings after taxes for each fiscal quarter ended after
December 31, 2022, (ii) a leverage ratio of not greater than 60.0%, (iii) liquidity of at least $50.0 million and (iv) a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the
most recent four quarters of at least 1.75 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the amount of our
additional debt and our ability to make certain investments.
If we fail to meet or satisfy any of these provisions, we would be in default under the Credit Agreement and our lenders could elect to declare
outstanding amounts due and payable, terminate their commitments, require the posting of additional collateral and enforce their respective interests against
existing collateral. A default also could limit significantly our financing alternatives, which could cause us to curtail our investment activities and/or dispose of
assets when we otherwise would not choose to do so. In addition, future indebtedness may contain financial covenants limiting our ability to, for example,
incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, reduce liquidity below certain levels and pay dividends to our stockholders, and otherwise affect our
operating policies. If we default on one or more of our debt agreements, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial
condition and results of operations.
In addition, we have several land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a
method of acquiring finished lots in staged takedowns. While we are not legally obligated to purchase the balance of the lots, we are subject to certain
performance obligations, financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have any ownership interest or title to the assets that we have
sold to the land banker and we do not guarantee any of the land banker’s liabilities.
Interest expense on debt we incur may limit our cash available to fund our growth strategies.
As of December 31, 2024, we had total outstanding borrowings of $401.9 million under the Credit Agreement, and we could borrow an additional $270.5
million under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bore interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.85% per annum.
In addition, as of December 31, 2024, we had outstanding $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes, which bear interest at a fixed
rate of 8.750%, $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.000%, and $400.0 million
aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Senior Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.000%. If our operations do not generate sufficient cash from
operations at levels currently anticipated, we may seek additional capital in the form of debt financing. Our current indebtedness includes, and any additional
indebtedness we subsequently incur may have, a floating rate of interest. Higher interest rates could increase debt service requirements on our current floating
rate indebtedness and on any floating rate indebtedness we subsequently incur, and could reduce funds available for operations, future business opportunities
or other purposes. If we need to repay existing indebtedness during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to refinance our then-existing
indebtedness on unfavorable terms or liquidate one or more of our assets to repay such indebtedness
26

Table of Contents
at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such assets and could result in a loss. The occurrence of either such event or both could
materially and adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.
We are a holding company, and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions from our subsidiaries to service our debt and pay dividends, if any,
taxes and other expenses.
We are a holding company and have no material assets other than our ownership of membership interests or limited partnership interests in our
subsidiaries. We have no independent means of generating revenue. We intend to cause our subsidiaries to make distributions to their members in an amount
sufficient to cover all applicable taxes payable and dividends, if any, declared by us. Our ability to service our debt depends on the results of operations of our
subsidiaries and upon the ability of such subsidiaries to provide us with cash, whether in the form of dividends, loans or other distributions, to pay amounts
due on our obligations. Future financing arrangements may contain negative covenants that limit the ability of our subsidiaries to declare or pay dividends or
make distributions. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities; to the extent that we need funds, and our subsidiaries are restricted from declaring
or paying such dividends or making such distributions under applicable law or regulations, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds (for example, due to
restrictions in future financing arrangements that limit the ability of our operating subsidiaries to distribute funds), our liquidity and financial condition could
be materially harmed.
If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately determine our financial results or
prevent fraud. As a result, investors could lose confidence in our financial results, which could materially and adversely affect us.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. We may in the future discover areas of
our internal controls that need improvement. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in maintaining adequate internal control over our financial
reporting and financial processes. Additionally, the existence of any material weakness or significant deficiency would require management to devote
significant time and incur significant expense to remediate any such material weakness or significant deficiency and management may not be able to remediate
any such material weakness or significant deficiency in a timely manner. The existence of any material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting could also result in errors in our financial statements that could require us to restate our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting
obligations and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, all of which could materially and adversely affect us.
We may change our operational policies, investment guidelines and our business and growth strategies without stockholder consent, which may
subject us to different and more significant risks in the future.
The Board will determine our operational policies, investment guidelines and our business and growth strategies. The Board may make changes to, or
approve transactions that deviate from, those policies, guidelines and strategies without a vote of, or notice to, our stockholders. This could result in us
conducting operational matters, making investments or pursuing different business or growth strategies than those contemplated in this Annual Report on Form
10-K. Under any of these circumstances, we may expose ourselves to different and more significant risks in the future, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
We participate in certain unconsolidated entities where we may be adversely impacted by the failure of the limited partnership or joint venture or its
participants to fulfill their obligations.
We currently participate through two equity-method real estate joint ventures and four additional joint ventures as a limited partner and with independent
third parties in which we do not have a controlling interest. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have contributed a total of $28.3 million and $21.5 million,
respectively, within other assets on the balance sheet relating to our investment in joint ventures associated with our operations. Contributions into these
unconsolidated entities are used by the entities to invest in certain real estate transactions and residential mortgage services, respectively.
As a result of not having a controlling interest in these entities, we have limited influence over decisions made with regard to these entities and are not
able to require these entities or their participants to honor their obligations. If these entities or their participants do not honor their obligations, we may be
required to expend additional resources or suffer losses of our investments in these entities.
General Risk Factors
Failure to comply with laws and regulations may adversely affect us.
We are required to comply with laws and regulations governing many aspects of our business, such as land acquisition and development, home
construction and sales, and employment practices. Despite our oversight, contractual protections, and other mitigation efforts, our employees or subcontractors
could violate some of these laws or regulations, as a result of which
27

Table of Contents
we may incur fines, penalties or other liabilities, which could be significant, and our reputation with governmental agencies, customers, vendors or suppliers
could be damaged.
We are subject to litigation, arbitration or other claims, which could materially and adversely affect us.
We are subject to litigation and we may in the future be subject to enforcement actions, such as claims relating to our operations, securities offerings and
otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims may result in significant defense costs and potentially significant judgments against us,
some of which are not, or cannot be, insured against. Although we have established warranty, claim and litigation reserves that we believe are adequate, we
cannot be certain of the ultimate outcomes of any claims that may arise in the future, and legal proceedings may result in the award of substantial damages
against us beyond our reserves. Resolution of these types of matters against us may result in our having to pay significant fines, judgments, or settlements,
which, if uninsured or in excess of insured levels, could adversely impact our earnings and cash flows, thereby materially and adversely affecting us.
Furthermore, plaintiffs may in certain of these legal proceedings seek class action status with potential class sizes that vary from case to case. Class action
lawsuits can be costly to defend, and if we were to lose any certified class action suit, it could result in substantial liability for us. Certain litigation or the
resolution thereof may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could materially and adversely impact us, expose us to
increased risks that would be uninsured, and materially and adversely impact our ability to attract directors and officers.
We may suffer uninsured losses or material losses in excess of insurance limits.
We could suffer physical damage to property or sustain liabilities resulting in losses that may not be fully recoverable by insurance. Insurance against
certain types of risks, such as terrorism, earthquakes, floods or personal injury claims, may be unavailable, available in amounts that are less than the full
market value or replacement cost of investment or underlying assets or subject to a large deductible or self-insurance retention amount. In addition, there can
be no assurance that certain types of risks that are currently insurable will continue to be insurable on an economically feasible basis. Should an uninsured loss
or a loss in excess of insured limits occur or be subject to deductibles or self-insurance retention, we could sustain financial loss or lose capital invested in the
affected property, as well as anticipated future income from that property. Furthermore, we could be liable to repair damage or meet liabilities caused by risks
that are uninsured or subject to deductibles. We may also be liable for any debt or other financial obligations related to affected property.
Information system failures, cyber incidents or breaches in security could adversely affect us.
We rely on accounting, financial, operational, management and other information systems, including the Internet and third-party hosted services, to
conduct our operations, store personal data and sensitive data, process financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and
comply with financial reporting, legal and tax requirements. Our information systems, and those of our business partners, vendors and service providers, are
subject to damage or interruption from power outages; computer and telecommunication failures; computer viruses; security breaches, including due to
malware and phishing; cyberattacks, such as denial-of-service or ransomware attacks; natural disasters; usage errors by employees and other related risks. In
addition, cybersecurity risk is exacerbated with the advancement of technologies like artificial intelligence, which malicious third parties are using to create
new, sophisticated and more frequent attacks. Any cyber incident, attack, breach or other disruption or failure in these information systems, or other systems or
infrastructure upon which they rely, could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, any failure or security breach of information systems or data could result in
diversion of management or work force attention; increased costs required to prevent, respond to or mitigate an incident; a violation of applicable privacy, data
security, or other laws; significant legal and financial exposure; damage to our reputation; or a loss of confidence in our security measures which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. We have been the target of a number of unsuccessful
cyberattacks, and we expect these attacks to continue into the foreseeable future. We have employed administrative, physical and technical controls and
processes to mitigate these types of risks and help protect our information systems, including appointing dedicated personnel responsible for overseeing the
Company’s information security posture, maintaining a suite of information security policies, providing routine employee cyber and information security
training and conducting third-party assessments. In addition, our technical safeguards are designed to provide multiple, redundant safeguards to protect against
exploitation of a vulnerability that may arise or if a security control fails. Although we have implemented these safeguards, systems and processes intended to
secure our information systems, there can be no assurance that our efforts to maintain the security and integrity of our information systems will be effective or
that future attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging.
Beyond our service providers, we depend on third parties to handle certain processes required to complete land purchases and home closings, including
title insurers and escrow/settlement companies. Third parties, as well as independent mortgage lenders and other firms involved in real property transactions,
could experience their own cybersecurity incidents or IT resource failures that disrupt or prevent their performance of necessary real estate transaction
services. For example, in late 2023, the third-party lender in our mortgage solutions joint venture identified a cybersecurity incident that included unauthorized
third-party access to its systems. Such cybersecurity incidents or IT resource failures could significantly disrupt our ability to close
28

Table of Contents
on land transactions or our customers’ ability to close on their homes, as well as our production schedules and delivery forecasts, and could have a material
impact on our operations or consolidated financial statements, including by causing home sales contract cancellations.
Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. laws and regulations regarding privacy and data security.
As part of our normal business activities, we collect, process and store certain information, including information specific to homebuyers, customers,
employees, vendors and suppliers. We may share some of this information with third parties who assist us with certain aspects of our business. Privacy and
data security have become significant issues and the subject of rapidly evolving regulation in the United States. Furthermore, federal, state and local
government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, more laws and regulations affecting data privacy. Such laws and
regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of personal information, such as the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), may
significantly impact our business activities and require substantial compliance costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects,
liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
Any actual or perceived failure by us to adequately address privacy and data security concerns or comply with applicable privacy and data security laws,
regulations and policies could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others; subject us to significant fines, penalties, judgments
and negative publicity; require us to change our business practices; increase the costs and complexity of compliance; and adversely affect our business. If we
are not able to adjust to changing laws, regulations and standards relating to privacy or data security, our business may be materially harmed. As noted above,
we are also subject to the possibility of cyber incidents or attacks, which themselves may result in a violation of these privacy and data security laws.
Additionally, if we acquire a company that has violated or is not in compliance with applicable privacy and data security laws, we may incur significant
liabilities and penalties as a result.
Acts of war or terrorism may seriously harm our business.
Acts of war, any outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, acts of terrorism, political uncertainty or conflicts,
such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East, or civil unrest may cause disruption to the U.S. economy, or the local
economies of the markets in which we operate, cause shortages of building materials, increase costs associated with obtaining building materials, result in
building code changes that could increase costs of construction, result in uninsured losses, affect job growth and consumer confidence, or cause economic
changes that we cannot anticipate, all of which could reduce demand for our homes and adversely impact our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition
and results of operations.
While we do not have any customer or direct supplier relationships in any of the foreign countries or regions involved in the current military conflicts,
such conflicts and any related sanctions, export controls or actions that may be initiated by nations (e.g., potential cyberattacks, disruption of energy flows,
etc.) and other potential uncertainties could adversely affect our supply chain by causing shortages or increases in costs for materials necessary to construct
homes and/or increases to the price of gasoline and other fuels. In addition, such events could cause higher interest rates, inflation or general economic
uncertainty, which could negatively impact our business partners, employees or customers, or otherwise adversely impact our business.
Negative publicity could adversely affect our reputation as well as our business, financial results and stock price.
Our reputation and brand are critical to our success. Unfavorable media related to our industry, company, brands, marketing, personnel, operations,
business performance, or prospects may affect our stock price and the performance of our business, regardless of its accuracy or inaccuracy. The speed at
which negative publicity can be disseminated has increased dramatically with the capabilities of electronic communication, including social media outlets,
websites, blogs, newsletters, and other digital platforms. Our success in maintaining, extending and expanding our brand image depends on our ability to adapt
to this rapidly changing media environment. Adverse publicity or negative commentary from any media outlet could damage our reputation and reduce the
demand for our homes, which would adversely affect our business.
Changes in accounting rules, assumptions and/or judgments could materially and adversely affect us.
Accounting rules and interpretations for certain aspects of our financial reporting are highly complex and involve significant assumptions and judgment.
These complexities could lead to a delay in the preparation and dissemination of our financial statements. Furthermore, changes in accounting rules and
interpretations or in our accounting assumptions and/or judgments, such as those related to asset impairments, could significantly impact our financial
statements. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in restating prior period financial statements. Any of
these circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
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.
29

Table of Contents
Our access to additional third-party sources of financing will depend, in part, on:
•
general market conditions;
•
the market’s perception of our growth potential;
•
with respect to acquisition and/or development financing, the market’s perception of the value of the land parcels to be acquired and/or
developed;
•
our current debt levels;
•
our current and expected future earnings;
•
our cash flow; and
•
the market price per share of our common stock.
The global credit and equity markets and the overall economy can be extremely volatile, which could have a number of adverse effects on our operations
and capital requirements. For the past decade, the domestic financial markets have experienced a high degree of volatility, uncertainty and, during certain
periods, tightening of liquidity in both the high yield debt and equity capital markets, resulting in certain periods where new capital has been both more
difficult and more expensive to access. If we are unable to access the credit markets, we could be required to defer or eliminate important business strategies
and growth opportunities in the future. In addition, if there is prolonged volatility and weakness in the capital and credit markets, potential lenders may be
unwilling or unable to provide us with financing that is attractive to us or may increase collateral requirements or may charge us prohibitively high fees in
order to obtain financing. Consequently, our ability to access the credit market in order to attract financing on reasonable terms may be adversely affected.
Investment returns on our assets and our ability to make acquisitions could be adversely affected by our inability to secure additional financing on reasonable
terms, if at all.
Depending on market conditions at the relevant time, we may have to rely more heavily on additional equity financings or on less efficient forms of debt
financing that require a larger portion of our cash flow from operations, thereby reducing funds available for our operations, future business opportunities and
other purposes. We may not have access to such equity or debt capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all.

ITEM 1C.    CYBERSECURITY
Risk Management and Strategy
We have strategically integrated cybersecurity risk management into our broader risk management framework to promote a company-wide culture of
cyber risk awareness. Our Vice President, Information Technology and our information technology group endeavor to evaluate and address cyber risks in
alignment with our business objectives, operational needs and industry-accepted standards, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
and Center for Internet Security (CIS) Critical Security Controls frameworks.
We have processes and procedures in place to monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity risks. These include but are
not limited to:
•
Maintaining a defined and practiced incident response plan;
•
Employing appropriate incident prevention and detection safeguards;
•
Maintaining a defined disaster recovery policy and employing disaster recovery software, where appropriate;
•
Educating, training and testing our user community on information security practices and identification of potential cybersecurity risks and threats;
and
•
Reviewing and evaluating new developments in the cyber threat landscape.
Recognizing the complexity and evolving nature of cybersecurity risk, we engage with a range of external support, including cybersecurity consultants,
in evaluating, monitoring and testing our cyber management systems and related cyber risks. Our collaboration with these third parties includes audits, threat
and vulnerability assessments, company-wide monitoring of cybersecurity risks and consultation on security enhancements.
We recognize the risks associated with the use of vendors, service providers and other third parties that provide information system services to us,
process information on our behalf, or have access to our information systems, and we have processes in place to oversee and manage these risks. We conduct
annual and periodic assessments of these third-party engagements to evaluate compliance with our cybersecurity standards.
To our knowledge, we have not been subject to cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company, its operations or financial standing.
Governance
Our cybersecurity risk management program is overseen by management at multiple levels. Our Vice President, Information Technology plays a key role
in assessing, monitoring and managing our cybersecurity risks with support from dedicated information technology and security personnel. Our cybersecurity
and risk management protocols are led by our Vice President of IT, who has served in this role since 2019. Our Vice President, Information Technology has an
MS in Engineering and Technology Management and over 20 years of experience in managing and leading information technology or cybersecurity teams and
oversees a team of information technology professionals who identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity threats on an ongoing basis.
Our information technology group monitors the latest developments in cybersecurity, including emerging threats and innovative risk management
techniques. We have implemented and oversee processes for the regular monitoring of our information systems. This includes the deployment of advanced
security measures and regular system audits to identify potential vulnerabilities. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, we are equipped with a defined and
practiced incident response plan, which includes immediate actions to mitigate the impact and long-term strategies for remediation and prevention of future
incidents.
Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing our cyber risk. Our Vice President, Information Technology or other members of our information
technology group provide at least semi-annual in-person updates to the Board that encompass a broad range of topics, including:
•
Current cybersecurity threat landscape and emerging threats;
•
Status of ongoing cybersecurity initiatives and strategies;
•
Incident reports and learnings from unique cybersecurity events, including those of other companies; and
•
Compliance status and efforts with regulatory requirements and industry standards.
Furthermore, at the Board meetings at which our Vice President, Information Technology or other members of our information technology group do not
provide in-person updates to the Board, our CEO or another executive team member

provides current updates to the Board. In addition, our information technology group provides updates to the full Board upon request, or timely updates
regarding unique developments such as regulatory updates or vulnerability developments. Our Board is composed of directors with diverse qualifications,
skills and expertise, including risk management, technology and finance, that equips them to oversee cybersecurity risks effectively.
For additional information concerning cybersecurity risks we face, see “General Risk Factors — Information system failures, cyber incidents or breaches
in security could adversely affect us” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 2.     PROPERTIES
We lease approximately 25,000 square feet in The Woodlands, Texas for our corporate headquarters; this lease expires in 2028. In addition, to adequately
meet the needs of our operations, we lease offices in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington. See “Business—Land Acquisition Policies and Development” for a summary of the other property which we owned
or controlled as of December 31, 2024.
ITEM 3.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development, and sale of real
estate and homes and other aspects of our homebuilding operations. Management believes that these claims include usual obligations incurred by real estate
developers and residential homebuilders in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Class Action Lawsuit
On May 23, 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed by Rikki McAlister, a former sales representative, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated,
in the District Court of Arapahoe County, State of Colorado, against LGI Homes Corporate, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, alleging violations of
Colorado employment law, including failure to pay overtime compensation, failure to provide rest periods and improper deductions from wages. On November
21, 2023, the lawsuit was removed to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, which granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification
on December 6, 2024. The plaintiff in the lawsuit is requesting as damages, on behalf of the plaintiff and all members of the class, unpaid back wages, unpaid
minimum wages, unpaid overtime compensation, reimbursement for unlawfully-deducted wages, compensation for rest periods not provided, certain
mandatory and additional penalties, reasonable attorney’s fees and incurred costs. We have responded to the complaint and intend to defend ourselves
vigorously against the allegations.

Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define adjusted
gross margin as gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Our
management believes this information is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on gross margin.
However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments, which have real economic effects and could
impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not
calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement
to gross margin information as a measure of our performance. Please see “—Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin,
which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable.
(4)
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define EBITDA as net income
before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales. Our management believes that
the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and management in analyzing
and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in
interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization and items considered to be unusual or non-recurring. Accordingly, our management believes
that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other companies may define this measure differently and, as a result,
our measure of EBITDA may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies. Although we use EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the
performance of our business, the use of this measure is limited because it does not include certain material costs, such as interest and
(1)

Table of Contents
taxes, necessary to operate our business. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of
performance. Our presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our use
of EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Please see “—Non-GAAP Measures” for reconciliations of EBITDA to net income, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most
directly comparable.

Home Sales Revenues. Home sales revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $2.2 billion, a decrease of $156.0 million, or 6.6%, from $2.4
billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in home sales revenues was primarily due to a 10.4% decrease in homes closed, offset by an
increase in the average sales price per home closed, during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. We closed
6,028 homes during 2024, as compared to 6,729 homes closed during 2023. The overall decrease in home closings was a result of a lower absorption rate,
partially offset by a higher average community count during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Our
average community count at December 31, 2024 increased to 130.5 from 103.9 at December 31, 2023. The overall increase in average community count is
related to timing associated with new community openings, offset by the close out of some communities and transition between certain active communities
during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The average sales price per home closed during the year ended
December  31, 2024 was $365,394, an increase of $14,885, or 4.2%, from the average sales price per home closed of $350,510 for the year ended
December 31, 2023. The increase in the average sales price per home closed was primarily due to geographic mix and a favorable pricing environment. The
overall decrease in absorption rate generally relates to the impact of ongoing affordability constraints, new community openings, and the overall increase in
community count.
Included within our home sales revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $164.1 million in wholesale revenues resulting from 552 home
closings, representing 9.2% of the 6,028 total homes closed during the year ended December 31, 2024. Included within our home sales revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2023 was $202.3 million in wholesale revenues resulting from 679 home closings, representing 10.1% of the 6,729 total homes closed
during the year ended December 31, 2023.

•
Home sales revenues in our Central reportable segment decreased by $166.1 million, or 22.7%, during the year ended December  31, 2024 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a 21.6% decrease in the number of homes closed and a slight decrease in the
average sales price per home closed. The decrease in home closings was primarily the result of a lower absorption rate, partially offset by an increase
in the average community count.
•
Home sales revenues in our Southeast reportable segment decreased by $18.6 million, or 3.3%, during the year ended December  31, 2024 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a 4.7% decrease in the number of homes closed, offset by a slight increase in the
average sales price per home closed. The decrease in home closings was the result of a lower absorption rate, partially offset by a 9.7% increase in
the average community count.
•
Home sales revenues in our Northwest reportable segment increased by $7.2 million, or 2.9%, during the year ended December  31, 2024 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to an 8.8% increase in the average sales price per home closed, partially offset by a
5.5% decrease in the number of homes closed. The decrease in the number of homes closed was the result of a lower absorption rate, offset by a
40.2% increase in the average community count.
•
Home sales revenues in our West reportable segment increased by $91.6 million, or 24.0%, during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared
to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a 14.9% increase in the number of homes closed and a 7.9% increase in the average sales
price per home closed. The increase in home closings was the result of a 55.0% increase in the average community count, partially offset by a lower
absorption rate.
•
Home sales revenues in our Florida reportable segment decreased by $70.1 million, or 16.0%, during the year ended December  31, 2024 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a 20.2% decrease in the number of homes closed, partially offset by a 5.3%
increase in the average sales price per home closed. The decrease in home closings was the result of a lower absorption rate, partially offset by a
17.2% increase in the average community count.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin (home sales revenues less cost of sales).  Cost of sales decreased for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $1.7 billion, a
decrease of $147.1 million, or 8.1%, from $1.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. This overall decrease was primarily due to a 10.4% decrease in
homes closed. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $533.3 million, a decrease of $8.9 million, or 1.6%, from $542.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2023. Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues was 24.2% for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 23.0% for the year
ended December 31, 2023. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues was primarily due to a higher average sales price per home
closed, partially offset by a combination of higher lot costs and higher capitalized interest as a percentage of revenue as well as the impact of sales incentives
offered during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
Selling Expenses.  Selling expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $200.0 million, an increase of $8.4 million, or 4.4%, from $191.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to an increase in advertising expense and an increase in
personnel costs as a result of an increase in communities, offset by a decrease in sales commissions. Sales commissions decreased to $95.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2024 from $102.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to a decrease in home sales revenues during 2024 as
compared to 2023. Selling expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues were 9.1% and 8.1% for the years ended December  31, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. The increase in selling expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues was primarily due to higher advertising expenses, fewer wholesale home
closings and higher other personnel expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December  31, 2024 were $121.2 million, an increase of $3.8
million, or 3.3%, from $117.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in the amount of general and administrative expenses was primarily
a result of increased indirect overhead expenses and professional fees, partially offset by a decrease in payroll related costs for the year ended December 31,
2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues were 5.5% and 5.0% for
the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues
reflects our increased personnel and associated overhead costs, partially offset by a decrease in payroll related costs during the year ended December 31, 2024
as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
Other Income. Other income, net of other expenses was $46.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $18.3 million from $28.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in other income, net of other expenses, primarily reflects gains realized from the bulk sale of 103
leased, single-family homes and the sale of residential lots for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

income and net income before income taxes were primarily due to overall lower home closings at a lower absorption rate, and higher advertising and other
costs associated with the increase in average community count during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
The following reportable segments contributed to net income before income taxes during the year ended December 31, 2024 as follows: Central - $66.7
million, or 25.8%; Southeast - $85.3 million, or 32.9%; Northwest - $25.9 million, or 10.0%; West - $52.2 million, or 20.2%; and Florida - $30.4 million, or
11.7%.
Income Taxes. Income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $62.8 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 0.5%, from income tax
provision of $62.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in our effective tax rate to 24.3% from 23.9% was primarily due to an increase
in the rate for the deductions in excess of compensation cost for share-based payments, and the rate for state income taxes, net of the federal benefit, offset by a
decrease in the rate for the compensation limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and the retroactive extension of the
federal energy efficient homes tax credits for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
Net Income. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $196.1 million, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 1.6%, from $199.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was primarily attributed to overall lower homes closed and lower home sales revenues, partially offset
by a higher gross margin during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have provided
information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K relating to adjusted gross margin and EBITDA.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We
define adjusted gross margin as gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the
cost of sales. Our management believes this information is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments
have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments, which have
real economic effects and could impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance may be limited.
In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin
information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance.
The following table reconciles adjusted gross margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most
directly comparable (dollars in thousands):

EBITDA
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define EBITDA as
net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales. Our
management believes that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both
investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic
performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization and items considered to be unusual
or non-recurring. Accordingly, our management believes that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other
companies may define this measure differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies.
Although we use EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of this measure is limited because it does not include
certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for,
net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future
results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our use of EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this measure in
isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
(i) it does not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, including for purchase of land;
(ii) it does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
(iii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require
improvements in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements or improvements;
(iv) it does not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;
(v) it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and
(vi) other companies in our industry may calculate it differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, our EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our
business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using our EBITDA along with
other comparative tools, together with GAAP measures, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. These GAAP measures include operating income,
net income and cash flow data. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments and other non-recurring charges,
which are not reflected in our EBITDA. EBITDA is not intended as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance, as an alternative
to any other measure of performance in conformity with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. You should therefore not place
undue reliance on our EBITDA calculated using these measures.

comparable (dollars in thousands):

Backlog
We sell our homes under standard purchase contracts, which generally require a homebuyer to pay a deposit at the time of signing the purchase contract.
The amount of the required deposit is minimal (typically $1,000 to $10,000). We permit our retail homebuyers to cancel the purchase contract and obtain a
refund of their deposit in the event mortgage financing cannot be obtained within a certain period of time, as specified in their purchase contract. Typically, our
retail homebuyers provide documentation regarding their ability to obtain mortgage financing within 14 days after the purchase contract is signed. If we
determine that the homebuyer is not qualified to obtain mortgage financing or is not otherwise financially able to purchase the home, we will terminate the
purchase contract. If a purchase contract has not been cancelled or terminated within 14 days after the purchase contract has been signed, then the homebuyer
has met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing. Only purchase contracts that are signed by homebuyers who have met the preliminary criteria to
obtain mortgage financing are included in new (gross) orders.
Our “backlog” consists of homes that are under a purchase contract that has been signed by homebuyers who have met the preliminary criteria to obtain
mortgage financing but have not yet closed and wholesale contracts with varying terms. Since our business model is generally based on building move-in
ready homes before a purchase contract is signed, the majority of our homes in backlog are currently under construction or complete. Ending backlog
represents the number of homes in backlog from the previous period plus the number of net orders (new orders for homes less cancellations) generated during
the current period minus the number of homes closed during the current period. Our backlog at any given time will be affected by cancellations, the number of
our active communities and the timing of home closings. Homes in backlog are generally closed within one to two months, although home closings have been,
and may continue to be, delayed. In addition, we may experience cancellations of purchase contracts at any time prior to closing. It is important to note that net
orders, backlog and cancellation metrics are operational, rather than accounting data, and should be used only as a general gauge to evaluate performance.
Backlog may be impacted by customer cancellations for various reasons that are beyond our control, and in light of our minimal required deposit, there is little
negative impact to the potential homebuyer from the cancellation of the purchase contract.
Our net orders decreased for the year ended December  31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December  31, 2023 due to the increase in new
communities which typically open at a slower sales pace and lower overall demand compared to 2023. Our wholesale orders increased 143.3% to 146 units at
December  31, 2024 from 60 units at December  31, 2023. The number of homes in our backlog at December  31, 2024 increased 1.5% compared to
December 31, 2023.
As of the dates set forth below, our net orders, cancellation rate, and ending backlog homes and value were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Seasonality
In all of our reportable segments, we have historically experienced similar variability in our results of operations and in capital requirements from quarter
to quarter due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. We generally close more homes in our second, third and fourth quarters. Thus, our revenues
may fluctuate on a quarterly basis and we may have higher capital requirements in our second, third and fourth quarters in order to maintain our inventory
levels. Our revenues and capital requirements are generally similar across our second, third and fourth quarters.
As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position at the end of a particular quarter, especially the first quarter, are
not necessarily representative of the results we expect at year end. We expect this seasonal pattern to continue in the long term.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of December 31, 2024, we had $53.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. Cash flows for each of our active communities depend on the status of the
development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings.
Our principal uses of capital are operating expenses, land and lot purchases, lot development, home construction, interest costs on our indebtedness and
the payment of various liabilities. In addition, we may purchase land, lots, homes under construction or other assets as part of an acquisition and repurchase
shares of our common stock. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, land development, plats, vertical
development, construction of information centers, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our inventory and are not
recognized in our statement of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outflows prior to recognition of home sales revenues. In the later
stages of an active community, cash inflows may exceed home sales revenues reported for financial statement purposes, as the costs associated with home and
land construction were previously incurred.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generally rely on our ability to finance our operations by generating operating cash flows and borrowing under the Credit Agreement (as defined
below) to adequately fund our short-term working capital obligations and to purchase land and other assets, develop lots and homes and repurchase shares of
our common stock. As needed, we will consider accessing the debt and equity capital markets as part of our ongoing financing strategy. We rely on our ability
to obtain performance, payment and completion surety bonds as well as letters of credit to finance our projects. Furthermore, we utilize, on a limited and
strategic basis, land banking financing arrangements to access short-term liquidity.
As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that we will be able to fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs for at least the
next twelve months with our cash on hand, cash generated from operations and cash expected to be available from the Credit Agreement or through accessing
debt or equity capital, as needed. However, our ability to engage in the transactions described above may be constrained by volatile or tight economic, capital,
credit and financial market conditions, as well as moderated investor or lender interest or capacity and our liquidity, leverage and net worth, and we can
provide no assurance as to successfully completing, the costs of, or the operational limitations arising from any one or series of such transactions.
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our long-term principal uses of liquidity and capital resources will be inventory related purchases concerning land, lot development,
repurchases of shares of our common stock, other capital expenditures, and principal and interest payments on our debt obligations maturing between 2025 and
2032. We believe that we will be able to fund our long-term liquidity needs with cash generated from operations and cash expected to be available to borrow
under the Credit Agreement or through accessing debt or equity capital, as needed, although no assurance can be provided that such additional debt or equity
capital will be available when needed or on terms that we find attractive. Additionally, we plan to further utilize,
44

Table of Contents
on a limited and strategic basis, land banking financing arrangements to maximize long-term liquidity for lot development projects where we have sufficient
finished lot availability in certain markets. To the extent these sources of capital are insufficient to meet our needs, we may also conduct additional public or
private offerings of our securities, refinance our indebtedness, or dispose of certain assets to fund our operating activities and capital needs.
Material Cash Requirements
We are a party to many agreements that include contractual obligations and commitments to make payments to third parties. These obligations impact
our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Certain contractual obligations are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2024, while others are considered future commitments. Our contractual obligations primarily consist of principal and interest payments on our
senior notes, notes payable and land banking financing arrangements, including our unsecured revolving credit facility, letters of credit and surety bonds and
operating leases. We have no senior note maturities until 2028. We also enter into certain commitments to fund our existing or future unconsolidated joint
ventures, letters of credit and other purchase obligations in the normal course of business. For more information regarding our primary obligations, refer to
Note 5, “Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities,” Note 6, “Notes Payable,” and Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our consolidated financial
statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2024, related to accrued expenses and
other liabilities, debt and commitments and contingencies, respectively.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts in order to procure land and lots for the construction of our homes. We are
subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved lots. These contracts typically require cash
deposits and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the sellers, which may
include obtaining applicable property and development entitlements or the completion of development activities and the delivery of finished lots. We also
utilize contracts with land sellers as a method of acquiring lots and land in staged takedowns, which helps us manage the financial and market risk associated
with land holdings and minimize the use of funds from our corporate financing sources. Such contracts generally require a non-refundable deposit for the right
to acquire land or lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices. We generally have the right at our discretion to terminate our obligations under
purchase contracts during the initial feasibility period and receive a refund of our deposit, or we may terminate the contracts after the end of the feasibility
period by forfeiting our cash deposit with no further financial obligations to the land seller. In addition, our deposit may also be refundable if the land seller
does not satisfy all conditions precedent in the respective contract. As of December  31, 2024, we had $29.0 million of cash deposits pertaining to land
purchase contracts for 17,582 lots with an aggregate purchase price of $653.9 million. Approximately $10.4 million of the cash deposits as of December 31,
2024 are secured by third-party guarantees or indemnity mortgages on the related property.
Our utilization of land purchase contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into contracts at acceptable
terms, which may include option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to financial intermediaries to finance the development of optioned lots,
general housing conditions, and local market dynamics. Land purchase contracts may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets
and are more prevalent in certain markets.
Revolving Credit Facility
On October 9, 2024, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Fifth Amendment”), which amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
dated as of April 28, 2021, with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (as amended to date,
including the Fifth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.205 billion revolving credit facility, which can be increased
at the request of the Company by up to $95.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on April 28,
2028 with respect to $1.085  billion, or 90.0%, of the $1.205  billion of commitments thereunder and on April 28, 2025 with respect to 10.0% of the
commitments thereunder.
Before each anniversary of the Credit Agreement, we may request a one-year extension of its maturity date. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by,
among others, each of our subsidiaries that have gross assets of at least $0.5 million, other than subsidiaries whose sole purpose is to own and operate single-
family rental homes.
The borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, together with the outstanding principal balance of our 8.750% Senior Notes
due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”), our 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”) and our 7.000% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Senior
Notes”), may not exceed the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement. 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 and its subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
As of December 31, 2024, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was $1.205 billion, of which the
45

Table of Contents
maximum available to borrow was $1.8 billion. As of December 31, 2024, borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the outstanding principal amount of the
2028 Senior Notes, the 2029 Senior Notes and the 2032 Senior Notes totaled approximately $1.5 billion, $24.5 million of letters of credit were outstanding and
$270.5 million was available to borrow under the Credit Agreement.
For a further description of the Credit Agreement, please refer to Note 6, “Notes Payable” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II,
Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Senior Notes Offering
On November 15, 2024, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to
be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the Securities Act. Interest on
the 2032 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 7.000% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on
May 15, 2025. The 2032 Senior Notes mature on November 15, 2032. The terms of the 2032 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of July 6,
2018, and Fifth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of November 15, 2024, as may be supplemented from time to time, among us, our subsidiaries that
guarantee our obligations under the Credit Agreement and Regions Bank, as trustee.
On November 21, 2023, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to
be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant
to Regulation S. Interest on the 2028 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 8.750% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of
each year, commencing on June 15, 2024. The 2028 Senior Notes mature on December 15, 2028. The terms of the 2028 Senior Notes are governed by an
Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2018, and Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of November 21, 2023, as may be supplemented from time to time,
among us, our subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the Credit Agreement and Regions Bank, as trustee.
On June 28, 2021, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be
qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to
Regulation S. Interest on the 2029 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.000% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each
year. The 2029 Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2029. The terms of the 2029 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2018, and Third
Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of June 28, 2021, as may be supplemented from time to time, among us, our subsidiaries that guarantee our
obligations under the Credit Agreement and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.
Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Financial Guarantees
We are often required to provide letters of credit and surety bonds to secure our performance under construction contracts, development agreements and
other arrangements. The amount of such obligations outstanding at any time varies in accordance with our pending development activities. In the event any
such bonds or letters of credit are drawn upon, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of such bonds or letters of credit.
Under these letters of credit, surety bonds and financial guarantees, we are committed to perform certain development and construction activities and
provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and financial guarantees under these arrangements,
totaled $377.5 million as of December  31, 2024. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to the
improvements at these sites, the letters of credit and surety bonds are not generally released until all development and construction activities are completed. We
do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds or financial guarantees as of December 31, 2024 will be drawn upon.
Stock Repurchase Program
In February 2022, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a $200.0 million increase to our previously authorized stock repurchase program,
pursuant to which we may purchase up to $550.0 million of shares of our common stock through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or
otherwise in accordance with applicable laws. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2022, we repurchased 307,867 shares of our common stock for
$30.8 million to be held as treasury stock, excluding the excise taxes accrued on our share repurchases as a result of the IRA 2022 and 892,916 shares of our
common stock for $95.1 million to be held as treasury stock, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of our
common stock. A total of 3,247,339 shares of our common stock has been repurchased since our stock repurchase program commenced. As of December 31,
2024, we may purchase up to $180.7 million of shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. The timing, amount and other terms and
conditions of any repurchases
46

Table of Contents
of shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program will be determined by our management at its discretion based on a variety of factors,
including the market price of our common stock, corporate considerations, general market and economic conditions and legal requirements. Our stock
repurchase program may be modified, discontinued or suspended at any time.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $143.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The primary drivers of operating cash flows are
typically cash earnings and changes in inventory levels, including land acquisition and development. Net cash used in operating activities during the year
ended December  31, 2024 was primarily driven by cash outflow from the $365.9 million increase in the net change in real estate inventory, which was
primarily related to our homes under construction and land acquisitions and development level of activity, partially offset by net income of $196.1 million.
Net cash used in operating activities was $57.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The primary drivers of operating cash flows are
typically cash earnings and changes in inventory levels, including land acquisition and development. Net cash used in operating activities during the year
ended December  31, 2023 was primarily driven by cash outflow from the $255.5 million increase in the net change in real estate inventory, which was
primarily related to our homes under construction and land acquisitions and development level of activity, partially offset by net income of $199.2 million, as
well as the $16.2 million increase and $18.3 million decrease in the net change in accounts receivable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was  $15.6 million during the year ended December  31, 2024, primarily due to the sale of property and
equipment, offset by additional investments in unconsolidated entities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $13.6 million during the year ended December  31, 2023, primarily due to additional investments in
unconsolidated entities, net of return of capital from unconsolidated entities.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $132.3 million during the year ended December  31, 2024, primarily driven by $592.3 million of
borrowings under our credit agreement then in effect and $400.0 million of proceeds from the offering of our 2032 Senior Notes. These were partially offset by
$760.0 million of repayments on our credit agreement then in effect, net of payments of $67.9 million related to a financing arrangement with a third-party
land banker and by the $31.0 million in payments for shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $87.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by $887.3 million of borrowings
under our credit agreement then in effect and $50.4 million of proceeds related to financing arrangements with a third-party land banker. These were partially
offset by $746.0 million of repayments on our credit agreement then in effect, net of payments of $95.0 million related to a financing arrangement with a third-
party land banker.

Our business can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material and construction costs. In addition, inflation
can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers. See “Industry and Economic Risks—
Inflation could adversely affect our business and financial results” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, we make estimates,
judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates, judgments and assumptions on
historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions on a regular basis. We also discuss our critical
accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board. Discussed below are accounting policies that we believe are critical because of the
significance of the activity to which they relate or because they require the use of significant judgment in their application.

Home Sales Revenue Recognition
We recognize home sales revenue upon the transfer of promised goods to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect
to be entitled by applying the following five-step process:
•
Identify the contract(s) with a customer
•
Identify the performance obligations
•
Determine the transaction price
•
Allocate the transaction price
•
Recognize revenue when the performance obligations are met
Our contracts with customers include a single performance obligation to transfer a completed home to the customer. We generally determine selling price
per home on the expected cost plus margin. Our contracts contain no significant financing terms as customers who finance do so through a third party.
Performance obligations are satisfied at a moment in time when the home is complete and control of the asset is transferred to the customer at closing. Home
sales proceeds are generally received from the title company within a few business days after closing. Little to no estimation is involved in recognizing such
revenues.
Real Estate Inventory and Cost of Home Sales
Inventory consists of land, land under development, finished lots, information centers, homes in progress and completed homes. Inventory is stated at
cost unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to fair value.
Pre-acquisition costs, land, development and other project costs, including interest and property taxes, incurred during development and home
construction, and net of expected reimbursements of development costs, are capitalized to real estate inventory. Pre-acquisition costs, land development and
other common costs that benefit the entire community, including field construction supervision and related direct overhead, are allocated to individual lots or
homes, as appropriate, on a pro rata basis which we believe approximates the costs that would be determined using an allocation method based on relative
sales values since the individual lots or homes within a community are similar in value.
We use judgements and assumptions to recognize the appropriate amount of cost of sales by estimating the total land development costs. We use
estimates which are affected by changes to the land development project’s schedule; the cost of labor, materials, and subcontractors; and potential cost
reimbursements from various municipalities. Changes to estimated total remaining development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are
allocated to the remaining unsold homes in the community on a prospective basis. Home construction costs and related carrying charges are allocated to the
cost of individual homes using the specific identification method and are capitalized as they are incurred. Capitalized interest, property taxes, and other
carrying costs are generally capitalized to real estate inventory from the point development begins to the point construction is completed. Costs associated with
homes closed are charged to cost of sales simultaneously with revenue recognition. We believe that our policies provide for reasonably dependable estimates to
be used in the calculation and reporting of land development and home construction costs.
Impairment of Real Estate Inventories
Real estate inventory is evaluated for indicators of impairment by each community during each reporting period. In conducting our review for indicators
of impairment on a community level, we evaluate, among other things, the margins on homes that have been closed, communities with slow moving inventory,
projected margins on future home sales over the life of the community, and the estimated fair value of the land. We pay particular attention to communities in
which inventory is moving at a slower than anticipated absorption pace and communities whose average sales prices and/or margins are trending downward
and are anticipated to continue to trend downward. Due largely to the relatively short development and construction periods for our communities and our
growth, we have experienced limited circumstances during 2024, 2023 or 2022 that are indicators of impairment. Our future sales and margins may be
impacted by our inability to realize continued growth, increased cost associated with holding and developing land, local economic factors, pressure on home
sales prices, increased carrying costs, and insufficient access to labor and materials at reasonable costs. For individual communities with indicators of
impairment, we perform additional analysis to estimate the community’s undiscounted future cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are
greater than the carrying value of the asset, no impairment adjustment is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset’s carrying value, the
asset is impaired and is written down to its fair value. We estimate the fair value of communities using a discounted cash flow model; changes to the expected
cash flows may lead to changes in the outcome of our impairment analysis.
We purchase both finished lots and land to be developed. Generally, the life cycle of a community ranges from two to five years. For projects we
develop, the period between the acquisition of a raw piece of land and completion of the development of that land generally ranges from two to three years.
During the life of a project, a constructed home is used as

the community information center and then sold. Actual individual community lives will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate,
and whether the property was purchased as raw land or finished lots. Sustained changes in the life cycle of a community, which is an indicator used for
impairment, may negatively impact our results of operations.
Impairment of Land and Land Under Development
For raw land, land under development and completed lots that our management anticipates will be utilized for future homebuilding activities or to be sold
as finished lots to individuals, the recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted cash flows
expected to be generated by the assets based on home or lot sales, consistent with the evaluation of operating communities discussed above.
Warranty Reserves
We have provided homebuyers with a one-year warranty on the house and a ten-year limited warranty for major defects in structural elements. Estimated
future direct warranty costs are assessed monthly on a consistent basis as part of our policy and accrued and charged to cost of sales in connection with our
home sales.
The primary assumption to record amounts accrued for our warranty liability is based upon a trailing 120 month period of historical warranty cost
experience on a per house basis established based on (i) trends in historical warranty payment levels, (ii) the historical range of amounts paid per house,
(iii) any warranty expenditures not considered to be normal and recurring, and is adjusted as appropriate to reflect qualitative risks associated with the types of
homes built, the geographic areas in which they are built, and potential impacts of our expansion. Our analysis also considers improvements in quality control
and construction techniques expected to impact future warranty expenditures and the expertise of our personnel. Our warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly
to assess the reasonableness and adequacy and we make adjustments to the balance of the pre-existing reserves, as needed, to reflect changes in trends and
historical data as information becomes available. We increased our warranty reserve by $2.5 million, $2.9 million and $2.9 million for the years ended
December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Taxes
We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted
tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities, changes in tax rate are recognized in the year
of enactment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will
not be realized. Our ability to realize deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is established, if required. We compute our
provision for income taxes based on the statutory tax rates. Judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our annual tax provision. We
recognize the impact of a tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. We
recognize potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense, as applicable.

ITEM 7A.         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our operations are interest rate sensitive. As overall housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates, a significant increase in
mortgage interest rates may negatively affect the ability of homebuyers to secure adequate financing. Higher interest rates could adversely affect our revenues,
gross margin, and net income.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Interest Rate Risk
We utilize both fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt as part of financing our operations. We do not have the obligation to prepay our senior notes or our
fixed-rate inventory related obligations prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant
impact on our fixed-rate debt.
We currently do not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, but we may do so in the future. Many of the statements contained in this section
are forward looking and should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under the heading “Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements” in
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding variable rate indebtedness. As of December 31, 2024, we had
$401.9 million of variable rate indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement. All of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement are at
variable rates based on SOFR. The interest rate for our variable rate indebtedness as of December 31, 2024 was SOFR plus 1.85%. At December 31, 2024,
SOFR was 4.36%, subject to the 0.50% SOFR floor as included in the Credit Agreement. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the average interest rate
above the SOFR floor on our variable rate indebtedness would increase our annual interest cost by approximately $4.0 million.
Based on the current interest rate management policies we have in place with respect to our outstanding indebtedness, we do not believe that the future
interest rate risks related to our existing indebtedness will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of LGI Homes, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LGI Homes, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related
consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes
(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the
Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 25, 2025 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to
those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also
included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required
to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our
especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the
consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the
critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Land development costs
Description of the
Matter
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s cost of sales was approximately $1.7 billion, which includes construction
costs of each closed home and allocable land acquisition and land development costs, capitalized interest, and other related costs.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, land development costs that are not specifically identifiable to a
home are allocated on a pro rata basis. At the time of home closings, land development activities may not be finalized. To recognize
the appropriate amount of cost of sales, the Company estimates the total remaining development costs. Estimates are affected by
changes to the land development project’s schedule; the cost of labor, materials, and subcontractors; and potential cost
reimbursements from various municipalities.
Auditing the Company's land development cost measurement was complex and subjective due to the significant estimation required
to determine the costs to complete land development. Specifically, the land development cost estimate is sensitive to significant
management assumptions, including the project’s schedule, estimated cost of labor, materials and subcontractors and potential
reimbursements.
How We Addressed
the Matter in Our
Audit
We obtained an understanding and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Company's process and controls over its land
development cost measurement, including controls over management's review of the estimated costs to complete.
To test the Company's land development cost measurement, our audit procedures included, among others, testing the significant
assumptions used to develop the estimated costs to complete the land development projects and testing the completeness and
accuracy of the underlying data. For example, we sampled the Company’s land development project budgets and agreed the
estimated development costs and cost reimbursements to supporting documentation, including underlying contracts; and performed
observational procedures to understand the completeness of development activities included in the estimated land development
costs. In addition, we performed lookback analyses to historical actual costs to assess management’s ability to estimate and
performed sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in total costs of land development that would
result from changes in these assumptions.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.     ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Organization and Description of the Business
LGI Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”), is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. We engage in the
development of communities and the design, construction and sale of new homes in markets in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, Colorado,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Tennessee, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Alabama, California, Oregon, Nevada, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Utah.
2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could have a significant impact on the
financial statements. The significant accounting estimates include land development cost of sales, impairment of real estate inventory, warranty reserves, loss
contingencies, incentive compensation expense, and income taxes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions, and short-term liquid investments with an initial
maturity date of less than three months. Our cash in demand deposit accounts may exceed federally insured limits and could be negatively impacted if the
underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, we have experienced no loss or diminished
access to cash in our demand deposit accounts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of proceeds due from title companies for sales closed prior to period end and are generally collected within a few
days from closing.
Real Estate Inventory
Inventory consists of land, land under development, finished lots, information centers, homes in progress, completed homes and real estate not owned.
Inventory is stated at cost unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case the affected inventory is written down to fair value.
Land, development and other project costs, including interest and property taxes incurred during development and home construction, net of expected
reimbursable development costs, are capitalized to real estate inventory. Land development and other common costs that benefit the entire community,
including field construction supervision and related direct overhead, are allocated to individual lots or homes, as appropriate. The costs of lots are transferred
to homes in progress when home construction begins. Home construction costs and related carrying charges are allocated to the cost of individual homes using
the specific identification method. Costs that are not specifically identifiable to a home are allocated on a pro rata basis, which we believe approximates the
costs that would be determined using an allocation method based on relative sales values since the individual lots or homes within a community are similar in
value. Changes to estimated total development costs subsequent to initial home closings in a community are generally allocated to the remaining unsold lots
and homes in the community on a pro rata basis. Inventory costs for completed homes are expensed to cost of sales as homes are closed.
We purchase both finished lots and land to be developed. Generally, the life cycle of a community ranges from two to five years. For projects we
develop, the period between the acquisition of a raw piece of land and completion of the development of that land generally ranges from two to three years.
During the life of a project, a constructed home is used as the community information center and then sold. Actual individual community lives will vary based
on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate, and whether the property was purchased as raw land or finished lots.

Table of Contents
We have land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a method of acquiring
finished lots in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources. In consideration for
this repurchase option, we paid a non-refundable commitment fee. Based on our right to control the ultimate economic outcome of these finished lots, these
assets will continue to be held as real estate not owned within our inventory as shown in tabular form in Note 3 and have a corresponding obligation within our
accrued liabilities as more fully discussed in Note 5 to recognize this relationship. While we are not legally obligated to repurchase the balance of the lots, we
are subject to certain performance obligations, financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have any ownership interest or title to the
assets that we have sold to the land banker and we do not guarantee any of the land banker’s liabilities.
Interest and financing costs incurred under our debt obligations and financing arrangements, as more fully discussed in Note 6 and Note 5, respectively,
are capitalized to qualifying real estate projects under development and homes under construction.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, real estate inventory is evaluated for
indicators of impairment by each community during each reporting period. In conducting its review for indicators of impairment on a community level,
management evaluates, among other things, the margins on homes that have been closed, communities with slow moving inventory, projected margins on
future home sales over the life of the community, and the estimated fair value of the land. For individual communities with indicators of impairment,
additional analysis is performed to estimate the community’s undiscounted future cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are greater than
the carrying value of the community group of assets, no impairment adjustment is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the community’s
carrying value, the asset group is impaired and is written down to its fair value. We estimate the fair value of communities using a discounted cash flow model.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the real estate inventory is stated at cost; there were no inventory impairment charges recorded during the years ended
December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Capitalized Interest
Interest and other financing costs are capitalized as cost of inventory during community development and home construction activities, in accordance
with ASC Topic 835, Interest and expensed in cost of sales as homes in the community are closed. To the extent the debt exceeds qualified assets, a portion of
the interest incurred is expensed.
Pre-Acquisition Costs and Deposits
Amounts paid for land options, deposits on land purchase contracts, and other pre-acquisition costs are capitalized and classified as deposits to purchase.
Upon execution of the purchase, these deposits are applied to the acquisition price of the land and recorded as a cost component of the land in real estate
inventory. To the extent that any deposits are nonrefundable and the associated land acquisition process is terminated or no longer determined probable, the
deposit and related pre-acquisition costs are charged to general and administrative expenses. Management reviews the likelihood of the acquisition of
contracted lots in conjunction with its periodic real estate impairment analysis.
Under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), a nonrefundable deposit paid to an entity is deemed to be a variable interest that will absorb some or
all of the entity’s expected losses if they occur. Non-refundable land purchase and lot option deposits generally represent our maximum exposure if we elect
not to purchase the optioned property. In some instances, we may also expend funds for due diligence, development and construction activities with respect to
optioned land prior to close. Such costs are classified as preacquisition costs, which we would have to absorb should the option not be exercised. Therefore,
whenever we enter into a land option or purchase contract with an entity and make a nonrefundable deposit, we may have a variable interest in a variable
interest entity (“VIE”). In accordance with ASC 810, we perform ongoing reassessments of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE and would
consolidate the VIE if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we were not deemed to be the primary beneficiary for
any VIEs associated with non-refundable land deposits.
Deferred Loan Costs
Deferred loan costs represent debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability and are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from
the carrying amount of that debt liability.
Other Assets
Other assets consist primarily of land held for sale, municipal utility district reimbursements, prepaid insurance, prepaid expenses, financing arrangement
commitment fees, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, investments in unconsolidated entities, forward commitments and other receivables. Prepaid insurance and
prepaid expenses were $14.1 million and $6.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
58

Table of Contents
We have investments in unconsolidated entities with independent third parties. The equity method of accounting is used for unconsolidated entities over
which we have significant influence; generally, this represents ownership interests of at least 20% and not more than 50%. Under the equity method of
accounting, we recognize our proportionate share of the earnings and losses of this entity.
We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for recoverability in accordance with ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint
Ventures. If we determine that a loss in the value of any of the investments is other than temporary, we write down the investment to its estimated fair value.
Any such losses are recorded to equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated entities, which is reflected in other income, net.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses and in
other income, net for rental properties. Upon sale or retirement, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and
any resulting gain or loss is included in other income, net. Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets, ranging from two to five years for property and equipment and 27.5 years for our rental properties. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over
the shorter of the asset life or the term of the lease. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. We are lessors of the homes representing rental
properties. Our leasing contracts are typically for terms of one year.
Impairments of long-lived assets are determined periodically when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, the determination
of the amount of impairment is based on judgments as to the future undiscounted operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout the
remaining estimated useful lives. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the related asset, impairment is recognized for the
excess of the carrying value over its fair value. There were no impairments of property, equipment and leasehold improvements recorded during the years
ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Goodwill
The excess of the purchase price of a business acquisition over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is capitalized as goodwill in
accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Goodwill that do not have finite lives are not amortized, but are assessed for impairment at least annually
or more frequently if certain impairment indicators are present. The $12.0 million of goodwill is related to the reorganization transactions completed in
connection with the initial public offering of our common stock in November 2013. In applying the goodwill impairment test, we have the option to perform a
qualitative test. Under the optional qualitative test, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the
reporting units is less than their carrying value. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, industry and market
considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit and other entity and reporting unit specific events. If after assessing these
qualitative factors, we determine it is “more-likely-than-not” that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, then performing a
quantitative test is necessary. Annually, we have performed a qualitative analysis and determined that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair values of the
reporting units were less than their carrying amounts. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded in 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Warranty Reserves
Future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of sales in the period when the related home is closed. Our warranty liability is based upon
historical warranty cost experience and is adjusted as appropriate to reflect qualitative risks associated with the types of homes built, the geographic areas in
which they are built, and potential impacts of our continued expansion.
Warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly to assess the reasonableness and adequacy and adjusted, as needed, to reflect changes in trends and historical
data as information becomes available.
Customer Deposits
Customer deposits are received upon signing a purchase contract and are typically $1,000 to $10,000. Deposits are generally refundable if the customer is
unable to obtain financing. Forfeited buyer deposits related to home sales are recognized in other income in the period in which it is determined that the buyer
will not complete the purchase of the property and the deposit is nonrefundable to the buyer.

Table of Contents
Home Sales
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenues from home sales are recognized when control of the promised
goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or
services. Revenues from home sales are recorded at the time each home sale is closed, title and possession are transferred to the customer and we have no
significant continuing involvement with the home. Home sales discounts and incentives granted to customers, which are related to the customers’ closing costs
that we pay on the customers’ behalf, are recorded as a reduction of revenue in our consolidated financial statements of operations.
Cost of Sales
As discussed under “Real Estate Inventory” above, cost of sales for homes closed include the construction costs of each home and allocable land
acquisition and land development costs, capitalized interest, and other related common costs (both incurred and estimated to be incurred).
Selling and Commission Costs
Sales commissions are paid and expensed based on homes closed. Other selling costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $43.6 million, $33.1 million and $18.7 million for the years ended December 31,
2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Income Taxes
We are a taxable entity subject to federal and state taxes. We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded
assets and liabilities. Changes in tax rates are recognized in the year of enactment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Our ability to realize deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and
a valuation allowance is established, if required. We recognize the impact of a tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination
based on the technical merits of the position. We recognize potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding. Diluted earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential shares of
common stock if their effect is antidilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation costs for non-performance-based restricted stock awards are measured using the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant
and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Compensation costs for performance-based restricted stock awards also
contain a market condition. These costs are measured using the derived grant date fair value, based on a third party valuation analysis, and are expensed in
accordance with ASC 718-10-25-20, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires an assessment of probability of attainment of the performance
target. Once the performance target outcome is determined to be probable, the cumulative expense is adjusted, as needed, to recognize compensation expense
on a straight-line basis over the award’s requisite service period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting -
(Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures. ASU 2023-
07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating
decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. It also requires disclosure of the amount and description of the
composition of other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The standard is effective for the Company’s
annual periods beginning in fiscal year 2024 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 on a retrospective basis to all periods
presented. We applied the amendment retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 impacted the presentation of the performance
measures in the tables in “Segment Information” under Note 14.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which is
intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to
require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold,
(2) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) (disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes) as well as individual jurisdictions in which
income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid net of refunds, (3) the income or loss from continuing operations before
income tax expense or benefit (disaggregated between domestic and foreign) and (4) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (disaggregated
by federal, state and foreign). The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual
financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, while retrospective
application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim
and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments in this update are to be applied on a prospective basis, with the option for
retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our disclosures.

Land Banking Financing Arrangements
We have land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a method of acquiring
finished lots in staged takedowns. Principal payments on these financing arrangements will generally coincide with the repurchase of lot takedowns from the
land banker. We expect to complete the repurchase of all lots via takedowns associated with these transactions over the course of approximately one to two
years.
Inventory Related Obligations
We own lots in certain communities in Florida and Texas that have Community Development Districts or similar utility and infrastructure development
special assessment programs that allocate a fixed amount of debt service associated with development activities to each lot. This obligation for infrastructure
development is attached to the land, which is typically payable over a 30-year period and is ultimately assumed by the homebuyer when home sales are closed.
The obligations assumed by the homebuyer represent a non-cash cost of the lots.
Estimated Warranty Reserve
We generally provide homebuyers with a one-year warranty on the house and a limited warranty for major defects in structural elements, such as framing
components and foundation systems, typically ranging from six to ten years depending on the applicable state.

Revolving Credit Agreement

Table of Contents
On October 9, 2024, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Fifth Amendment”), which amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
dated as of April 28, 2021, with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (as amended to
date,including the Fifth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.205 billion revolving credit facility, which can be
increased at the request of the Company by up to $95.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures
on April 28, 2028 with respect to $1.085 billion, or 90.0%, of the $1.205 billion of commitments thereunder and on April 28, 2025 with respect to 10.0% of
the commitments thereunder.
Before each anniversary of the Credit Agreement, we may request a one-year extension of its maturity date. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by,
among others, each of our subsidiaries that have gross assets of at least $0.5 million, other than subsidiaries whose sole purpose is to own and operate single-
family rental homes.
The borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, together with the outstanding principal balance of our 8.750% Senior Notes
due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”), our 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”) and our 7.000% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Senior
Notes”), may not exceed the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement. 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 and its subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
As of December 31, 2024, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was $1.205 billion, of which the maximum available to borrow was $1.8 billion. As
of December 31, 2024, borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the outstanding principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes, the 2029 Senior Notes and the
2032 Senior Notes totaled approximately $1.5 billion, $24.5 million of letters of credit were outstanding and $270.5 million was available to borrow under the
Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, payable monthly in arrears, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the Adjusted Term SOFR
(defined as a term SOFR that is based on a fixed 1, 3 or 6 month interest period, as selected by the Company, plus a 10, 15 or 25 basis point adjustment,
respectively), which rate is subject to a 50 basis point floor, plus an applicable margin ranging from 145 basis points to 210 basis points (the “Applicable
Margin”) based on the Company’s leverage ratio as determined in accordance with a pricing grid, or (2) the Base Rate (defined as a term SOFR that is based
on a daily variable 1 month interest period plus a 10 basis point adjustment), subject to a 50 basis point floor, plus the Applicable Margin. At December 31,
2024, the Applicable Margin was 1.85%, and SOFR was 4.36%, subject to the 0.50% SOFR floor as included in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth, a leverage ratio, a minimum liquidity amount and
an EBITDA to interest expense ratio. The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the amount of our additional debt
and our ability to make certain investments. At December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
Senior Notes Offering
On November 15, 2024, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to

The 2024 effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income tax expense on current year earnings and non-deductible
salaries related to Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), partially offset by benefits associated with the federal energy
efficient homes tax credits (the “45L Tax Credits”). The 2023 effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income tax expense
on current year earnings and non-deductible salaries related to Section 162(m) of the Code, partially offset by the windfalls for share-based payments and
benefits associated with the 45L Tax Credits. The 2022 effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income tax expense on
current year earnings and non-deductible salaries related to Section 162(m) of the Code, partially offset by benefits associated with the 45L Tax Credits and the
windfalls for share-based payments.
Income tax expense for 2024, 2023 and 2022 includes a benefit of $1.8 million, $1.2 million and $9.1 million, respectively, associated with the 45L Tax
Credits. The 45L Tax Credits provision applies to qualifying homes closed through December 31, 2024.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

All Company operations are domestic. We file U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The statute of
limitations with regards to our federal income tax filings is three years. The statute of limitations for our state tax jurisdictions is three to four years depending
on the jurisdiction. In the normal course of business, we are subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions, and such jurisdictions may assess additional income
taxes. We do not expect the outcome of any audit to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, audit outcomes and the timing
of audit adjustments are subject to significant uncertainty.
8.     EQUITY
We are authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per
share. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.
At December 31, 2024, we had 27,644,413 shares of common stock issued and 23,397,074 shares of common stock outstanding, including 4,247,339
treasury shares of our common stock. At December 31, 2023, we had 27,521,120 shares of common stock issued and 23,581,648 shares of common stock
outstanding, including 3,939,472 treasury shares of our common stock.
Stock Repurchase Program
In February 2022, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a $200.0 million increase to our previously authorized stock repurchase program,
pursuant to which we may purchase up to $550.0 million of shares of our common stock through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or
otherwise in accordance with applicable laws. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2022, we repurchased 307,867 shares of our common stock for
$30.8 million to be held as treasury stock, excluding the excise taxes accrued on our share repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and
892,916 shares of our common stock for $95.1 million to be held as treasury stock, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not
repurchase any shares of our common stock. A total of 3,247,339 shares of our common stock has been repurchased since our stock repurchase program
commenced. As of December 31, 2024, we may purchase up to $180.7 million of shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program.

In 2024, we issued 17,767 RSUs to senior management for the time-based portion of our 2024 long-term incentive compensation program and 30,876
RSUs for 2023 annual bonuses to managers, which generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. In 2023, we issued 22,912 RSUs to senior
management for the time-based portion of our 2023 long-term incentive compensation program and 8,256 RSUs for 2022 annual bonuses to managers, which
generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. In 2022, we issued 16,731 RSUs to senior management for the time-based portion of our 2022
long-term incentive compensation program and 10,404 RSUs for 2021 annual bonuses to managers, which generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the
grant date. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we issued 56,707, 17,778 and 56,116 RSUs, respectively, to certain
employees, executives and non-employee directors, which vest over periods ranging from one to three years. Under the terms of the grant award agreements,
all of the RSUs may only be settled in shares of our common stock.
We recognized $5.2 million, $4.9 million, and $3.6 million of stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs for the years ended
December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At December 31, 2024, we had unrecognized

compensation cost of $11.0 million related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
The Compensation Committee of the Board has granted awards of performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) under the 2013 Incentive Plan to certain members
of senior management based on three-year performance cycles. At December 31, 2024, there were 196,770 PSUs outstanding that have been granted to certain
members of management at a $0.00 exercise price. The PSUs provide for shares of our common stock to be issued based on the attainment of certain
performance metrics over the applicable three-year periods. The number of shares of our common stock that may be issued to the recipients for the PSUs range
from 0% to 200% of the target amount depending on actual results as compared to the target performance metrics. The terms of the PSUs provide that the
payouts will be capped at 100% of the target number of PSUs granted if absolute total stockholder return is negative during the performance period, regardless
of EPS performance; this market condition applies for amounts recorded above target. The compensation expense associated with the PSU grants is
determined using the derived grant date fair value, based on a third-party valuation analysis, and expensed over the applicable period. The PSUs vest upon the
determination date for the actual results at the end of the  three-year period and require that the recipients continue to be employed by us through the
determination date. The PSUs can only be settled in shares of our common stock.

At December 31, 2024, management estimates that the recipients will receive approximately 100%, 73.3% and 0% of the 2024, 2023 and 2022 target
number of PSUs, respectively, at the end of the applicable three-year performance cycle based on projected performance compared to the target performance
metrics. We recognized $4.3 million, $2.9 million and $4.5 million of total stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding PSUs for the years ended
December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The 2021 - 2023 performance period PSUs vested and issued on March 8, 2024 at 93.6% of the target
number. At December 31, 2024, we had unrecognized compensation cost of $8.2 million, based on the probable amount, related to unvested PSUs, which is
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The LGI Homes, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) provides for employees to make quarterly elections for payroll withholdings to
purchase shares of our common stock at a 15% discount from the closing price of our common stock on the purchase date, which is the last business day of
each calendar quarter. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we issued 54,794, 53,078 and 73,461 shares of our common stock to the
ESPP participants. We received net proceeds of approximately $4.8 million, $5.3 million and $5.6 million related to the ESPP for 2024, 2023 and 2022,
respectively. We recognized $0.9 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million in stock compensation expense related to the ESPP for 2024, 2023 and 2022,
respectively. The ESPP contributions are not refundable (other than in the case of termination of employment) and, therefore, the shares purchasable with the
amounts withheld are included in weighted-average shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share. The maximum aggregate number of
shares of our common stock which may be issued pursuant to the ESPP is 500,000 shares, and as of December 31, 2024, 51,921 shares of our common stock
remain available for issuance under the ESPP.
10.    FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the
market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the most significant volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it
is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly,
this exit price concept may result in a fair value that differs from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.
68

Table of Contents
ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a fair value
hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The
three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:
Level 1 - Fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Fair value is determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for
similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices in markets that are not active.
Level 3 - Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the
measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow, or similar technique.
We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value
measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets. The fair value of financial instruments, including
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term
nature of these instruments. As of December 31, 2024, the Credit Agreement’s carrying value approximates market value since it has a floating interest rate,
which increases or decreases with market interest rates and our leverage ratio.
In order to determine the fair value of each of the 2028 Senior Notes, the 2029 Senior Notes and the 2032 Senior Notes, the future contractual cash flows
are discounted at our estimate of current market rates of interest, which were determined based upon the average interest rates of similar senior notes within
the homebuilding industry (Level 2 measurement).

11.     RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Our employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) savings plan. Employees are eligible to participate beginning in the quarterly period after
completing 30 days of service and attaining the age of 21. Salary deferrals are allowed in amounts up to 100% of an eligible employee’s salary, not to exceed
the maximum permitted by law. We may make a discretionary match of up to 100% of the first 4% of an eligible employee’s deferral, not to exceed the
maximum allowed by law. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, our matching contributions were $4.5 million, $4.4 million and $4.5
million, respectively.
12.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development and sale of real
estate and homes and other aspects of our homebuilding operations. Management believes that these claims include usual obligations incurred by real estate
developers and residential home builders in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We have provided unsecured environmental indemnities to certain lenders and other counterparties. In each case, we have performed due diligence on the
potential environmental risks including obtaining an independent environmental review from outside environmental consultants. These indemnities obligate us
to reimburse the guaranteed parties for damages related to environmental matters. There is no term or damage limitation on these indemnities; however, if an
environmental matter arises, we may have recourse against other previous owners. In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to regulatory
proceedings from time to time related to environmental and other matters. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Class Action Lawsuit
On May 23, 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed by Rikki McAlister, a former sales representative, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated,
in the District Court of Arapahoe County, State of Colorado, against LGI Homes Corporate,
(1)

Table of Contents
LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, alleging violations of Colorado employment law, including failure to pay overtime compensation, failure to provide rest
periods and improper deductions from wages. On November 21, 2023, the lawsuit was removed to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado,
which granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification on December 6, 2024. The plaintiff in the lawsuit is requesting as damages, on behalf of the plaintiff
and all members of the class, unpaid back wages, unpaid minimum wages, unpaid overtime compensation, reimbursement for unlawfully-deducted wages,
compensation for rest periods not provided, certain mandatory and additional penalties, reasonable attorney’s fees and incurred costs. We have responded to
the complaint and intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the allegations.
Land Deposits
We have land purchase contracts, generally through cash deposits, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms.
We do not have title to the property, and obligations with respect to the land purchase contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related
nonrefundable cash deposits. The following is a summary of our land purchase deposits included in pre-acquisition costs and deposits (in thousands, except for
lot count):

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately $10.4 million and $11.4 million, respectively, of the land deposits are related to purchase contracts to
deliver finished lots that are refundable under certain circumstances, such as feasibility or specific performance, and secured by mortgages or letters of credit
or guaranteed by the seller or its affiliates.
Lease Obligations
We recognize lease obligations and associated ROU assets for our existing non-cancelable leases. Our lease agreements do not contain any material
residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We have non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with our corporate and regional
office facilities.   Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectations
regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as common area costs and property taxes are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or
less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will
exercise that option. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement
date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets, as included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, were $5.6 and $4.6 million
as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Lease obligations, as included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets,
were $6.1 million and $4.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Operating lease cost, as included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations, totaled $2.4 million, $2.5 million
and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities
for operating leases during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the
weighted-average discount rate was 5.9% and our weighted-average remaining life was 2.1 years. We do not have any significant lease contracts that have not
yet commenced at December 31, 2024.

the Credit Agreement) and $357.0 million (including $28.1 million of letters of credit issued under the our credit agreement then in effect) at December 31,
2024 and 2023, respectively, related to our obligations for site improvements at various projects. Management does not believe that draws upon the letters of
credit, surety bonds, or financial guarantees if any, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
As of December 31, 2024, we had two equity-method real estate joint ventures and four additional joint ventures engaged primarily to provide services,
such as mortgage and insurance, to our homebuyers. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have a total of $28.3 million and $21.5 million, respectively,
within other assets on the balance sheet relating to our investment in joint ventures associated with our operations. Contributions into the unconsolidated
entities are for the use of investing in certain real estate transactions and residential mortgage services, respectively. Income associated with our investment in
unconsolidated entities was $13.3 million, $12.8 million and $5.5 million, within other income, net on the statement of operations for the years ended
December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
13.     REVENUES
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from home sales are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the
consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenues from home sales are recorded at the time each home sale is closed,
title and possession are transferred to the customer and we have no significant continuing involvement with the home. Home sales discounts and incentives
granted to customers, which are related to the customers’ closing costs that we pay on the customers’ behalf, are recorded as a reduction of revenue in our
consolidated financial statements of operations.

Home Sales Revenues
We generate revenues primarily by delivering move-in ready entry-level and move-up spec homes sold under our LGI Homes brand and our luxury series
spec homes sold under our Terrata Homes brand.
Retail homes sold under both our LGI Homes brand and Terrata Homes brand focus on providing move-in ready homes with standardized features within
favorable markets that meet certain demographic and economic conditions. Our LGI Homes brand primarily markets to entry-level or first-time homebuyers,
while our Terrata Homes brand primarily markets to move-up homebuyers.
Wholesale homes are primarily sold under a bulk sales agreement and focus on providing move-in ready homes with standardized features to real estate
investors that will ultimately use the single-family homes as rental properties.
Performance Obligations
Our contracts with customers include a single performance obligation to transfer a completed home to the customer. We generally determine selling price
per home on the expected cost plus margin. Our contracts contain no significant financing terms as customers who finance do so through a third party.
Performance obligations are satisfied at a moment in time when the home is complete and control of the asset is transferred to the customer at closing. Home
sales proceeds are generally received from the title company within a few business days after closing.
Sales and broker commissions are incremental costs incurred to obtain a contract with a customer that would not have been incurred if the contract had
not been obtained. Sales and broker commissions are expensed upon fulfillment of a home closing. Advertising costs are costs to obtain a contract that would
have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained and are recognized as an expense when incurred. Sales and broker commissions and
advertising costs are recorded within sales and marketing expense presented in our consolidated statements of operations as selling expenses.
14.     SEGMENT INFORMATION
We operate one principal homebuilding business that is organized and reports by division. We have seven operating segments (our Central, Midwest,
Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Northwest, West and Florida divisions) that we aggregate into five qualifying reportable segments at December 31, 2024: our Central,
Southeast, Northwest, West and Florida divisions. These segments reflect the way we evaluate our business performance and manage our operations. For
reporting purposes, our homebuilding operations are aggregated into five reportable segments as follows:
Central:        Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota
Southeast:    Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina,
West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia
Northwest:    Colorado, Washington, Oregon
West:        Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, California, Utah
Florida:        Florida
In determining the most appropriate reportable segments, we consider operating segments’ economic and other characteristics, including home floor
plans, average selling prices, gross margin percentage, geographical proximity, production construction processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory
environments, customer type and underlying demand and supply. Each operating segment follows the same accounting policies and is managed by our
management team. We have no inter-segment sales, as all sales are to external customers. Operating results for each segment may not be indicative of the
results for such segment had it been an independent, stand-alone entity for the periods presented.

Table of Contents
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and our President and Chief Operating Officer have been determined to be our chief operating
decision-makers (“CODMs”). The CODMs primarily evaluate the segments’ operating performance and allocate resources for all of our reportable segments
based on net income before income taxes. For all of the segments, the CODMs use segment income before income tax expense in the annual budget and
forecasting process. These operating results are reviewed against actual and forecasted figures, with income before income taxes being the key operating
metric used to measure profit or loss.

    None.    
ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of
December  31, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of LGI Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and
for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States.
In connection with respect to the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, and the processes under which they were
prepared, management of the Company has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the 2013
COSO framework). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of
the operational effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which appears
below.
Changes in Internal Controls
No change in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) occurred during the year ended
December 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of LGI Homes, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited LGI Homes, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our
opinion, LGI Homes, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024,
based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated
balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and our report dated February 25, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

EXHIBIT 19.1
LGI HOMES, INC. INSIDER TRADING POLICY
Background and Purpose
LGI Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted this Insider Trading Policy for our directors, officers, employees and consultants with
respect to the trading of the Company's securities, as well as the securities of publicly traded companies with whom we have a business
relationship. Securities include common stock, performance based stock units, restricted stock units, debt securities and any other type of
securities or equity interests that the Company may issue, as well as derivative securities that are not issued by the Company, such as
exchange-traded put or call options or swaps relating to the Company’s securities. For purposes of this policy, “securities” and “stock” may
be used interchangeably.
Federal and state securities laws prohibit the purchase or sale of a company's securities by persons who are aware of material information
about the company that is not generally known or available to the public. These laws also prohibit persons who are aware of such material
nonpublic information from disclosing this information to others who may trade. Companies and their controlling persons are also subject to
liability if they fail to take reasonable steps to prevent insider trading by company personnel.
The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted this policy to promote compliance with federal and state securities laws that prohibit certain
persons who are aware of material nonpublic information about a company from: (i) trading in the securities of that company; or (ii)
providing material nonpublic information to other persons who may trade on the basis of that information.
It is important that you understand the breadth of activities that constitute illegal insider trading and the consequences, which can be severe.
Both the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) investigate
and are very effective at detecting insider trading. The SEC, together with the U.S. Attorneys, vigorously pursue insider trading violations.
Cases have been successfully prosecuted against trading by employees through foreign accounts, trading by family members and friends,
and trading involving only a small number of shares.
This policy is designed to prevent insider trading or allegations of insider trading, and to protect the Company's reputation for integrity and
ethical conduct. This policy serves to prevent both actual insider trading and the appearance of possible insider trading. It is your obligation
to understand and comply with this policy. Should you have any questions regarding this policy, contact the Compliance Officer (as defined
below).
Administration of the Policy
The General Counsel shall serve as the compliance officer for the purposes of this policy, and in his/her absence, our Chief Executive
Officer or another employee designated by the General Counsel shall be responsible for administration of this policy (the “Compliance
Officer”). All determinations and interpretations by the Compliance Officer shall be final and not subject to further review.
Penalties for Noncompliance
Potential penalties for insider trading violations include hefty fines and imprisonment. In addition, the Company can be fined for failing to
prevent insider trading.
April 2023

Scope of Policy
Persons Covered. This policy applies to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The same
restrictions that apply to you apply to your family members who reside with you, anyone else who lives in your household and any family
members who do not live in your household but whose transactions in Company securities are directed by you or are subject to your
influence or control (such as parents or children who consult with you before they trade in Company securities). This policy also applies to
any entities that you influence or control, including any corporations, partnerships or trusts (collectively referred to as “Controlled Entities”),
and transactions by these Controlled Entities should be treated for the purposes of this policy and applicable securities laws as if they were
for your own account. You are responsible for making sure that the purchase or sale of any security covered by this policy by any such
person or entity complies with this policy.
Companies Covered. The prohibition on insider trading in this policy includes trading in the securities of other firms, such as customers or
suppliers of the Company and those with which the Company may be negotiating major transactions, such as an acquisition, investment or
sale. Information that is not material to the Company may nevertheless be material to one of those other firms.
Transactions Covered. Trading includes purchases and sales of capital stock, derivative securities such as put and call options and
convertible debentures or preferred stock, and debt securities (debentures, bonds and notes). The trading restrictions do apply, however, to
any sale of the underlying stock or to a cashless exercise of the option through a broker, as this entails selling a portion of the underlying
stock to cover the costs of exercise.
Generally Prohibited Activities
The Company considers it improper and inappropriate for those employed by or associated with the Company to engage in short-term or
speculative transactions in the Company's securities or in other transactions in the Company's securities that may lead to inadvertent
violations of the insider trading laws.
Trading on Inside Information. You may not trade in the securities of the Company, directly or through family members or other persons or
entities, if you are aware of material nonpublic information relating to the Company. Similarly, you may not trade in the securities of any
other company if you are aware of material nonpublic information about that company which you obtained in the course of your
employment with the Company.
Tipping. You may not pass material nonpublic information on to others or recommend to anyone the purchase or sale of any securities when
you are aware of such information. This practice, known as “tipping,” also violates the securities laws and can result in the same civil and
criminal penalties that apply to insider trading, even though you did not trade and did not gain any benefit from another's trading.
Misappropriation. You may not disclose material nonpublic information to persons within the Company whose jobs do not require them to
have that information, or outside of the Company to other persons, including, but not limited to, family, friends, business associates,
investors and expert consulting firms, unless any such disclosure is made in accordance with the Company’s policies regarding the
protection or authorized external disclosure of information regarding the Company.
Hedging. The Company’s employees, officers and directors may not engage in any hedging or monetization transactions with respect to the
Company’s securities, including, but not limited to,
April 2023
2

through the use of financial instruments such as exchange-traded funds, prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, puts, calls, collars,
forwards and other derivative instruments, or through the establishment of a short position in the Company’s securities. These transactions
are speculative in nature and therefore create the appearance that the transaction is based on material nonpublic information.
Short Sales. You may not engage in short sales of the Company's securities (sales of securities that are not then owned), including a “sale
against the box” (a sale with delayed delivery).
Publicly Traded Options. You may not engage in transactions in publicly traded options, such as puts, calls or other derivative or
speculative securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market.
Financial Instruments. You may not purchase or use financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps,
collars, and exchange-traded funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Company's securities.
Standing Orders. Standing orders should be used only for a very brief period of time. A standing order placed with a broker to sell or
purchase stock at a specified price leaves you with no control over the timing of the transaction. A standing order transaction executed by
the broker when you are aware of material nonpublic information may result in unlawful insider trading.
Margin Accounts and Pledges. Securities held in a margin account or pledged as collateral for a loan may be sold without your consent by
the broker if you fail to meet a margin call or by the lender in foreclosure if you default on the loan. Because a margin or foreclosure sale
may occur at a time when you are aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise are not permitted to trade in Company securities,
you are prohibited from holding Company securities in a margin account and are strongly discouraged from pledging Company securities as
collateral for a loan. Directors, officers, employees and consultants interested in pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan must
obtain pre-clearance from the Compliance Officer. See the Pre-Clearance Procedures described in this policy.
Definition of Material Non-Public Information
Note that inside information has two important elements - materiality and public availability.
Material Information. Information is material if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in
deciding whether to buy, hold or sell a security. Any information that could reasonably be expected to affect the price of the security is
material. Common examples of material information are:
•
Projections of future sales, earnings or losses or other earnings guidance.
•
Earnings that are inconsistent with the consensus expectations of the investment community.
•
Private confirmation or rejection of public rumors.
•
Changes in control and significant mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, joint ventures or acquisitions or dispositions of significant
assets.
•
A change in management and other senior personnel.
•
Events regarding the Company's securities, including defaults on senior securities, calls of securities for redemption, repurchase
plans, declaration of a stock split, changes in dividends, changes in the rights of security holders or the public or private offering of
additional securities.
•
Bankruptcies, receiverships or severe financial liquidity problems.
•
A change in auditors or auditor notification that the Company may no longer rely on an auditor's audit report.
April 2023
3

•
A cyberattack or any other significant cyber incident involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
•
Actual or threatened major litigation, or the resolution of such litigation.
•
Significant developments regarding customers, suppliers or finance sources.
•
Significant new products or discoveries.
The above list is not exhaustive. Both positive and negative information can be material. Because trading that receives scrutiny will be
evaluated after the fact with the benefit of hindsight, questions concerning the materiality of particular information should be resolved in
favor of materiality, and trading should be avoided. You may always contact the Compliance Officer with questions.
Nonpublic Information. Nonpublic information is information that is not generally known or available to the public. One common
misconception is that material information loses its “nonpublic” status as soon as a press release is issued disclosing the information. In fact,
information is considered to be available to the public only when it has been released broadly to the marketplace (such as by a press release
or an SEC filing) and the investing public has had time to absorb the information fully. As a general rule, information is considered
nonpublic until the second full trading day after the information is released. For example, if the Company announces financial earnings
before trading begins on a Tuesday, the first time you can buy or sell Company securities is the opening of the market on Thursday
(assuming you are not aware of other material nonpublic information at that time). However, if the Company announces earnings after
trading begins on that Tuesday, the first time you can buy or sell Company securities is the opening of the market on Friday.
Exceptions
Gift Exception. Bona fide gifts are not transactions subject to this policy, unless the person making the gift has reason to believe at the time
the gift is made that (i) the recipient intends to sell the Company's securities while the officer, employee or director is aware of material
nonpublic information, or (ii) the person making the gift is subject to the trading restrictions specified herein under the heading “Additional
Provisions for Insiders” and, at the time the gift is made, the sales by the recipient of the Company's securities is reasonably expected to
occur during a blackout period.
Post-Termination Transactions
This policy continues to apply to your transactions in Company securities even after you have terminated employment or your service
relationship has ended if you are aware of material nonpublic information at the time your employment or service relationship with the
Company or its subsidiaries terminates. In such case, you may not trade in the Company's securities until that information has become
public or is no longer material.
Unauthorized Disclosure
Maintaining the confidentiality of Company information is essential for competitive, security and other business reasons, as well as to
comply with securities laws. You should treat all information you learn about the Company or its business plans in connection with your
employment as confidential and proprietary to the Company. Inadvertent disclosure of confidential or inside information may expose the
Company and you to significant risk of investigation and litigation.
The timing and nature of the Company's disclosure of material information to outsiders is subject to legal rules, the breach of which could
result in substantial liability to you, the Company and its management. Accordingly, it is important that responses to inquiries about the
Company by the press,
April 2023
4

investment analysts or others in the financial community be made on the Company's behalf only through authorized individuals.
Personal Responsibility
You should remember that the ultimate responsibility for adhering to this policy and avoiding improper trading rests with you. If you violate
this policy, the Company may take disciplinary action against you, including dismissal for cause, whether or not your failure to comply with
this policy results in a violation of law. This includes violations made by your Controlled Entities or individuals over which you have or may
be deemed to have control.
Company Assistance
Your compliance with the Company's Insider Trading Policy is of the utmost importance both for you and for the Company. If you have any
questions about this policy or its application to any proposed transaction, contact the Compliance Officer.
Policy Subject to Revision
The Company may change or otherwise revise the terms of this policy from time to time to respond to developments in law and practice.
The Company will take steps to inform all affected persons of any material changes or revisions to this policy.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR INSIDERS
In addition to the rules above, directors, executive officers, and employees designated in the attached Schedule I (collectively “Insiders”),
are subject to blackout and trading pre-clearance procedures. Family members who reside with any Insider and other members of the
Insider’s household, must also follow the pre-clearance procedures set out below before engaging in any transaction involving the
Company's securities (including a stock plan transaction such as an option exercise, or a gift, loan, pledge or hedge, contribution to a trust or
any other transfer). Family members include, any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-
law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law.
Pre-Clearance Procedures
A request for pre-clearance should be submitted to the Compliance Officer at least two trading days before the requested transaction.
Clearance of a transaction is only valid for the period designated on the pre- clearance form. If the transaction does not take place within the
approved trading period, clearance must be re-requested. The Compliance Officer is under no obligation to approve a trade submitted for
pre- clearance, and may determine not to permit the trade. The Compliance Officer himself or herself may not trade in Company securities
unless the Chief Executive Officer has approved the trade(s) in accordance with the procedures set forth in this policy.
Blackout Procedures
All Insiders are subject to the following blackout periods.
Quarterly Blackout Periods. The Company’s announcement of its quarterly financial results almost always has the potential to have a
material effect on the market for the Company’s securities. Therefore,
April 2023
5

you may not trade in the Company's securities during the period beginning on the 8th day prior to the end of the quarter and ending after the
second full trading day following the release of the Company's earnings
for that quarter. Persons subject to these quarterly blackout periods include the persons currently listed on the attached Schedule I and all
other persons who are informed by the Compliance Officer that they are subject to the quarterly blackout periods.
Interim Earnings Guidance and Event-Specific Blackouts. The Company may on occasion issue interim earnings guidance or other
potentially material information by means of a press release, SEC filing on Form 8-K or other means designed to achieve widespread
dissemination of the information. You should anticipate that trading will be blacked out while the Company is in the process of assembling
the information to be released and until the information has been released and fully absorbed by the market.
From time to time, an event may occur that is material to the Company and is known by only a few directors or executives. So long as the
event remains material and nonpublic, the persons who are aware of the event, as well as other persons covered by the quarterly earnings
blackout procedures, may not trade in the Company's securities. The existence of an event- specific blackout will not be announced other
than to those who are aware of the event giving rise to the blackout. If, however, a person whose trades are subject to pre-clearance requests
permission to trade in the Company's securities during an event-specific blackout, the compliance officer will inform the requesting person
of the existence of a blackout period, without disclosing the reason for the blackout. Any person made aware of the existence of an event-
specific blackout should not disclose the existence of the blackout to any other person. The failure of the compliance officer to designate a
person as being subject to an event-specific blackout will not relieve that person of the obligation not to trade while aware of material
nonpublic information.
Even if a blackout period is not in effect, at no time may you trade in Company securities if you are aware of material nonpublic information
about the Company.
Open Trading Window. Trading is permitted during open trading windows. In general, the Company’s trading window opens after the close
of trading on the second full trading day following the Company’s public announcement of quarterly earnings, and remains open through the
8th day prior to the end of that quarter.
Hardship Exception. A covered person who has an unexpected and urgent need to sell the Company's securities in order to generate cash may,
in appropriate circumstances, be permitted to sell the Company's securities even during the quarterly blackout period. Hardship exceptions may
be granted only by the Compliance Officer and must be requested at least three trading days before the requested transaction. A hardship
exception may be granted only if the Compliance Officer concludes that the Insider is not in possession of material nonpublic information at
the time of the transaction.
Rule 10b5-1 Plans. The Company requires that all Rule 10b5-l plans adopted by an Insider (or subsequently modified) be approved in writing
in advance of such adoption or modification by the Compliance Officer.
At the time of the adoption or modification of a Rule 10b5-l plan, an Insider will be required to provide a written certification to the
Compliance Officer that the Insider’s Rule 10b5-1 plan meets all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1, that the Insider is not aware of any
material, nonpublic information about the Company or its securities at the time of adoption or modification, as the case may be, and that the
Insider is adopting the Rule 10b5-1 plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the
April 2023
6

prohibitions on insider trading. If an Insider provides this certification and the Insider’s Rule 10b5-1 plan meets the requirements of Rule
10b5-1, subsequent trades in the securities of the Company may occur pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 plan. Such trades may occur regardless
of whether the Insider is aware of material non-public information at the time of the trade. The Rule 10b5-1 plan must either specify
(including by formula) the
amount, pricing and timing of transactions in advance or delegate discretion on those matters to an independent third party. Once the Rule
10b5-1 plan is adopted, the Insider must not exercise any influence over the amount of securities to be traded, the price at which they are to
be traded or the date of the trade. If the Insider modifies or changes the number of securities to be purchased or sold, price or timing of the
purchase or sale of securities, or the formula, algorithm, or computer program that affects the amount, price, or timing of the purchase or
sale of securities, it will be deemed under Rule 10b5-1 to be a termination of the Insider’s Rule 10b5-1 plan and the adoption of a new Rule
10b5-1 plan. Overlapping Rule 10b5-1 plans will not be approved if the overlapping plan does not fit within one of the exceptions specified
in Rule 10b5-1.
The first transaction under an Insider’s Rule 10b5-1 plan may not be made until the later of (i) ninety (90) days after the adoption of the Rule
10b5-1 plan, and (ii) two business days after the release of the Company’s financial results for the quarter in which the Rule 10b5-1 plan was
adopted or modified.
Rule 10b5-1 Plan Exception. Trades in the Company's securities executed by Insiders pursuant to an approved Rule 10b5-l plan are not
subject to the prohibition on trading provided that the Rule 10b5-1 plan is set up in accordance with this policy.
LGI Code of Conduct
