Date of Report: April 29, 2026
Event Date: April 27, 2026 (Audit Committee conclusion)
Subject: Non-reliance on previously issued financial statements due to accounting reclassification.
Key Financial Metrics and Impact
This filing addresses a reclassification of closing cost incentives (including interest-rate buy-downs) previously recorded as costs. The Audit Committee determined these should be treated as a reduction in revenue under ASC 606.
- Revenue: Will be reduced to reflect closing cost incentives as a reduction of the transaction price.
- Cost of Revenues: Will be reduced by the same amount previously included in cost of residential units.
- Gross Profit, Net Income, EPS: No impact.
- Cash Flow, Balance Sheet, Stockholders' Equity: No impact.
- Gross Margin: Expected to increase due to the reclassification.
- Operating Metrics: Average sales price and SG&A leverage are expected to decrease.
Material Changes Versus Prior Periods
The filing mandates a restatement of financial statements for the following periods due to the incorrect gross reporting of residential units revenue:
- Fiscal Years: Ended December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
- Interim Quarters: Ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025.
The filing text does not provide specific dollar amounts for the adjustments; it only confirms the direction of the reclassification.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Management Action: The Company will file a Form 10-K/A to include restated audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years 2023–2025. This filing will also include restated unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the specified 2025 quarters.
Accounting Firm: The Audit Committee has discussed these matters with RSM US LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
Risks/Contingencies: The primary risk is the historical inaccuracy of reported revenue and cost figures, which has been identified and is being corrected. No new operational risks or contingencies were disclosed in this text.
