Home Closings Revenue of $547M

Homebuilding Gross Margins of 30.4%

Diluted EPS of $1.85

Net New Home Orders of 908, up 6.2% YOY, Record for Any Second Quarter

Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE:GRBK) ("we," "Green Brick" or the "Company"), today reported results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"Our performance remained resilient despite a softer housing market, and underscores the strength of our land acquisition and self-development strategy. Second quarter net income attributable to Green Brick was $82 million or $1.85 per diluted share," said Jim Brickman, CEO "New homes delivered increased 5.6% year-over-year to 1,042 units, a record for any second quarter. The growth in deliveries was offset by a lower average sales price primarily as a result of increased discounts and incentives. As a result, home closings revenue of $547 million in the second quarter was roughly in line with the same period last year. Approximately 80% of home closings revenue was once again generated from infill and infill-adjacent locations. Homebuilding gross margins of 30.4% decreased 410 bps year-over-year and 80 bps sequentially due to higher incentives and lower average sales prices. However, our gross margins remained the highest in the public homebuilding industry, and we have successfully maintained gross margins in excess of 30% for nine consecutive quarters. "

"Net new orders grew 6.2% year-over-year to 908 units, marking our strongest second quarter on record," continued Mr. Brickman. "Moreover, our monthly sales pace remained steady year-over-year at approximately 3.0 sales per community. Incentives for new orders rose 320 bps year-over-year and 100 bps sequentially to 7.7%. Operationally, we achieved a major milestone by reducing our average construction cycle times to under 5 months. In particular, Trophy's average cycle time was only 3.5 months."

Mr. Brickman added, "While affordability and the sales environment became more challenging in the second quarter, we remain laser focused on executing our long-term strategies and delivering value to our shareholders, all while staying agile in response to evolving market conditions. Year-to-date, we invested $109 million in land acquisition and $139 million in land development. For 2025, we continue to expect full-year land development spending to be about $300 million. With a high-quality land position of over 40,000 lots, we remain extremely disciplined and selective on land acquisitions. In addition, we continued to return capital to our shareholders by repurchasing approximately $44 million of common stock during the second quarter at an average cost of $58.24 per share. Year-to-date, we have repurchased a total of $60 million in shares, with $40 million remaining under the current buyback authorization."

Mr. Brickman concluded, "At the end of the second quarter, our net debt to total capital ratio was 9.4% and our debt to total capital ratio was only 14.4%, the lowest level since 2015. The weighted average interest rate on our long-term notes was 3.4%. With the backbone of an investment grade balance sheet and our strategic land advantages, we believe Green Brick is poised to navigate near-term market headwinds successfully and capitalize on long-term demographic trends leading to growing demand for housing in our markets."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, we utilize certain financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
