PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 29, 2026-- Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) (“we,” “Green Brick” or the “Company”) today reported results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Net income attributable to Green Brick in the first quarter of 2026 was $60.9 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.39. The company delivered 908 homes. Net new sales orders were 1,037 for the quarter, with the monthly sales pace for the first quarter of 2026 decreasing slightly to 3.4, as compared to 3.5 in prior year period. At quarter end, we had 649 backlog units with corresponding backlog revenue of $381.3 million. We started 979 homes in during the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 13% over the first quarter of 2025.

Jim Brickman, CEO and co-founder said, “The new home market remains challenging as mortgage rates increased during the quarter and consumer confidence remains challenged for many of our consumers. We achieved strong results in Q1 despite these continuing headwinds, which we believe is a testament to our disciplined approach to managing incentives and price to maintain sales pace. We also are pleased to announce the milestone of our first sales in the Houston market.”

Commencing with the first quarter, we began to report our mortgage, title and insurance operations, which were previously reported within the Corporate segment, as a separate financial services segment. Mr. Brickman stated, “We are very pleased with the growth of Green Brick Mortgage. By the end of the first quarter of 2026 we had completed the rollout of Green Brick Mortgage to all our builders in our Texas markets, and we expect to continue the expansion of Green Brick Mortgage into the Atlanta market with our builder, The Providence Group, during the latter half of 2026. We believe that the growth of our financial services segment should further strengthen our operating results and balance sheet.”

Restatement of Closing Cost Incentives Recorded in Prior Periods

As reported in our Form 8-K filed last night, the Company has determined that residential units revenue in prior periods had been incorrectly reported on a gross basis and excluded closing cost incentives offered to homebuyers, including interest-rate buy-downs, which had previously been included in cost of residential units. The Company concluded that these closing cost incentives should have been reflected as a reduction in revenue. As a result, the Company will reduce residential units revenue, with a corresponding impact on total revenues, for the closing costs incentives, including interest-rate buydowns, that were paid on behalf of the homebuyer. In addition, the Company will reduce cost of residential units, with a corresponding impact on total cost of revenues, by this same amount of closing cost incentives. As a result, and based on the amounts of such reclassifications, the Company will be restating its audited consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for each of the quarters within 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company intends to file an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 2025 to restate the affected financial statements and related disclosures and the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income will be included within a footnote.

The restatement will not impact reported gross profit, operating income, net income, earnings per share, cash flow, debt covenant compliance, shareholders’ equity, or the underlying economics of the Company’s business. As a result of this change, reported residential units revenue and average sales price for each of the affected periods will be reduced, while reported homebuilding cost of revenues will decrease and gross margin will increase. The first quarters of 2025 and 2026 included in this earnings release reflect this reclassification. In addition, the Company has filed a Form 8-K that sets forth the Company’s preliminary assessments of the impact of this reclassification for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, as well as each of the quarters in 2025 and 2024.

Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026:

Homebuilding - During the first quarter of 2026, the Company generated $448.0 million in home closings revenue as compared to $484.5 million in the prior year period. Total homebuilding cost of revenues decreased to $324.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $328.7 million in the prior year period. Homebuilding gross margin for the quarter was 28.9%, which was the highest amongst our public homebuilding peers.

Financial Services - Green Brick Mortgage was established at the end of 2024 and funded its first loan in the first quarter of 2025. Mortgage revenue increased more than 330% year over year from $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 to $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2026 as we funded 365 loans in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 105 in the first quarter of 2025.

Liquidity - We continue to maintain strong liquidity, with no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facilities. Homebuilding debt to capital declined to 11.5%, down 130 basis points sequentially, while net homebuilding debt to capital declined to 5.5%, among the lowest of our public homebuilding peers, even with purchasing 114,000 shares of stock valued at $7.2 million during the quarter. “Our first quarter results were achieved with an investment grade balance sheet and low leverage, which gives us the flexibility to navigate the current challenging environment, continue to invest strategically in future growth, and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases,” said Mr. Brickman.

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. We present these measures because we believe they and similar measures are useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and financing structure. We also believe these measures facilitate the comparison of our operating performance and financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table represents the non-GAAP measure of adjusted homebuilding gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and reconciles these amounts to homebuilding gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Net debt to total capitalization is calculated as the total debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by the sum of total Green Brick Partners, Inc. stockholders’ equity and total debt less cash and cash equivalents. The closest GAAP financial measure to the net debt to total capitalization ratio is the debt to total capitalization ratio. The following table represents a reconciliation of the net debt to total capitalization ratio as of March 31, 2026.
