Century Communities US1565043007

The U.S. homebuilder Century Communities concluded its 2025 fiscal year with a robust financial position, highlighted by a new all-time high in book value per share. While navigating a volatile housing market, the company experienced a notable stabilization in buyer demand, which translated into double-digit growth for new orders. Its strategic path forward is already paved, supported by an extensive inventory of owned land.

• Record Equity Value: Book value per share reached a historic peak of $89.21.
• Capital Return: The company returned $178 million to shareholders through a combination of dividend payments and share repurchases.
• Order Growth: New contracts signed in the fourth quarter increased by 10% year-over-year.

Century Communities demonstrated strong operational execution in the final quarter, delivering 3,435 homes. This performance drove a sequential quarterly increase of 16% in home sales revenue, which reached $1.1 billion. For the quarter, the company posted total revenue of $1.2 billion and an adjusted profit of $1.59 per share.

Management deployed the firm's substantial financial strength, evidenced by full-year operating cash flow of $153 million, toward an aggressive capital return program. The company repurchased over seven percent of its outstanding shares. With a solid liquidity position of $1.1 billion and a conservative leverage ratio of 29.1%, Century Communities maintains a balanced sheet poised to capitalize on future market opportunities.

Strategic Land Portfolio Fuels Forward Outlook

The corporation’s long-term growth strategy is anchored in the steady expansion of its community footprint. This was exemplified just yesterday by the launch of sales at the new Creekbend community in North Carolina. Such developments are part of a broader pipeline supported by a controlled portfolio of approximately 61,000 lots.

This substantial land reserve is central to the company's growth targets. Management asserts that the existing inventory is sufficient to support a sustainable annual delivery growth rate of 10% for both 2026 and 2027, assuming stable market conditions. For the current 2026 fiscal year, Century Communities anticipates delivering between 10,000 and 11,000 homes, which would generate up to $4.1 billion in revenue. With planned investments in land development expected to hold steady at around $1.2 billion, matching the prior year's level, the strategic emphasis is clearly on the efficient monetization of its current asset base.
