CCS Shareholder/Stockholder Letter Transcript:
Dear
Fellow Stockholders
In 2025, we performed well in a challenging
year for the new home market in which
affordability and weaker consumer con dence
weighed on demand. We grew our average
community count of 318 communities by
13% on a year-over-year basis and delivered
10,792 residential units, which consisted of
10,387 new homes, 105 previously leased
rental homes, and 300 multi-family units.
Our direct construction costs on new home
starts decreased by $13,000 per home versus
the prior year, our cycle times fell by 13 days to
a Company record of 114 days, and we reduced
our SG&A expenses excluding commissions
and advertising by 5% year-over-year. For
the full year, we generated net income of
$148 million, our 23rd year of consecutive
pro tability, and increased our book value per
share to a Company record $89.21.
We also continued to return cash to our
shareholders while maintaining a strong
balance sheet. In the rst quarter of 2025, our
Board of Directors announced a 12% increase
in our quarterly cash dividend to $0.29 per
share, which was further increased by 10% to
$0.32 in early 2026. For the full year 2025, we
repurchased 2.3 million shares of our common
stock, or over 7% of shares outstanding at the
beginning of the year, for $144 million at an
average share price of $63.32, or a 29% discount
to our ending book value per share of $89.21.
We ended the year with a net homebuilding
debt to net capital of 25.9%, $1.1 billion of
liquidity, and $2.6 billion in stockholders equity,
and generated cash ow from operations of
over $150 million. During the year, we closed
on a private offering of $500 million of 6.625%
Senior Notes due 2033, with the proceeds used
to redeem our $500 million 6.750% Senior
Notes due 2027. As a result, we do not have
any senior debt maturities until 2029.
Century also received several recognitions in
2025 that highlight our commitment to both
our employees and our customers. Newsweek
named the Company one of America s Most
Trustworthy Companies for three consecutive
years, while Century was also designated
as one of U.S. News & World Report s Best
Companies to Work For (2025 2026).
With a platform stretching across 16 states
and over 45 markets, a strong balance sheet,
and exible, lower-risk land position that is
supportive of attractive growth, Century is
well positioned to navigate 2026 and the
years ahead.
