United Homes Group, Inc. Reports Preliminary 2025 Third Quarter Unit Statistics

United Homes Group, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:UHG) today announced preliminary operational unit statistics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The following table provides a summary of the Company's net new orders, home starts, and home closings:

The following table provides a summary of the Company's backlog, speculative home, and model home inventory:

"Net new orders declined 5% year-over-year in the third quarter primarily reflecting weaker demand in July, which improved sequentially in August and September," stated Chief Executive Officer Jack Micenko.

"Elevated new home inventory levels continue to drive competition for new sales activity across our markets, and as a result we are not immune to the industry-wide pressures affecting other homebuilders," added Mr. Micenko. "We expect that these competitive dynamics are likely to weigh on the gross margin improvement we have seen as a result of our recent product refresh efforts."

"In addition to weaker demand, sales were impacted by delayed community openings earlier in the year," shared Chief Financial Officer Keith Feldman. "However, we have begun to see an increase in community count in the latter half of 2025, reaching 56 as of September 30, 2025, and we expect to see continued community count growth through the end of 2025. This expansion has contributed to the 66% increase in starts year-over-year, with approximately a third of these starts still in permitting."

About United Homes Group, Inc.

The Company is a publicly traded residential builder headquartered near Columbia, SC. The Company focuses on southeastern markets with active communities in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.

The Company employs a land-light operating strategy with a focus on the design, construction and sale of entry-level, first, second and third move-up single-family houses. The Company principally builds detached single-family houses, and, to a lesser extent, attached single-family houses, including duplex houses and town houses. The Company seeks to operate its homebuilding business in high-growth markets, with substantial in-migrations and employment growth.

Under its land-light lot operating strategy, the Company controls its supply of finished building lots through lot option contracts with third parties, related parties, and land bank partners, which provide the Company with the right to purchase finished lots after they have been developed. This land-light operating strategy provides the Company with the ability to amass a pipeline of lots without the risks associated with acquiring and developing raw land.
