What they said: Century Communities delivered 10,792 residential units in full year 2025, with Q4 new home deliveries of 3,030 and record Q4 net orders of 2,702 homes (+10% YoY, +13% sequentially). The company reduced direct construction costs by $13,000 per home, cut cycle times 13 days to a record 114 days, reduced net leverage to 26%, generated $150M+ operating cash flow, and achieved record book value per share of $89.
