Green Brick Partners, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

Key Terms

homebuilding gross margin financial

Homebuilding gross margin is the percentage of sales a builder keeps after covering the direct costs to build houses—materials, labor and subcontractors—but before paying for overhead like marketing, administration or interest. Think of it as the profit made on each house before the company’s other bills; higher margins mean the builder is more efficient or has stronger pricing power, which helps investors judge profitability and resilience to rising costs.

backlog financial

A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.

net homebuilding debt to total capital financial

Net homebuilding debt to total capital is a leverage ratio that compares a homebuilder’s interest-bearing debt (after subtracting cash and cash equivalents) tied to its homebuilding operations with the company’s total capital base (debt plus equity). It shows how much of the company’s financing is coming from borrowed money rather than owners’ funds, like comparing the mortgage remaining on a house to the house’s total value; investors use it to gauge financial risk and balance-sheet strength.

sales cancellation rate financial

The sales cancellation rate is the percentage of orders, bookings or signed sales that are later canceled or voided over a given period. It shows how many promised sales fail to convert into completed revenue, like counting how many restaurant reservations are called off compared with those made. Investors watch it because a high or rising rate reduces revenue predictability, can signal product or fulfillment problems, and affects forecasts and cash flow.

average fico score financial

Average FICO score is the typical credit score calculated across a group of borrowers, using the FICO model that lenders use to gauge how likely someone is to repay borrowed money. For investors, it acts like a snapshot of borrower health—higher averages suggest lower default risk and potentially steadier loan returns, while lower averages can signal greater credit losses and pressure on lenders’ profits, similar to watching a community’s average driving record to predict accident rates.

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NYSE: GRBK) (“Green Brick,” “we,” or the “Company”), today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Net income attributable to Green Brick in the second quarter was $74 million or $1.70 per diluted share.

2026 SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

• Net new home orders of 1,079, up 19% year over year
• Backlog of 681 homes with a dollar value of $387 million
• New home deliveries of 1,047
• Home closing revenue of $471 million
• Delivered first homes in Houston
• Homebuilding gross margins of 29.8%
• Book value of $44.82 per share increased 16% year over year
• Liquidity of $462 million, inclusive of $132 million of cash
• Homebuilding debt to total capital of 11.2%; net homebuilding debt to total capital of 6.1%
• Repurchased 143,026 shares of common stock for approximately $9.4 million

Net new home orders increased 19% year over year to 1,079 units. Monthly sales pace for the second quarter was 3.3 sales per community, compared to 3.0 in the same period of the prior year. Incentives on new orders remain elevated at 9% as we continue to respond to market conditions to maintain sales pace. Our sales cancellation rate of 7.8% for the quarter remained among the lowest of our public company peers.

The Company delivered 1,047 new homes in the second quarter, which was relatively unchanged year over year, generating home closings revenue of $471 million. Homebuilding gross margin for the quarter was 29.8%, up 90 bps sequentially and down 150 bps year over year.

Jim Brickman, CEO and co-founder said, "Our second quarter results demonstrate the strength of Green Brick's differentiated operating model where our growth is focused on building in our large, self developed master planned neighborhoods where we believe we provide both affordability and upgraded amenities to our buyers."

"While affordability challenges and economic uncertainty continue to impact buyers, demand in our Texas markets remained strong. Our disciplined operators delivered a 19% year-over-year increase in net new home orders as buyers responded to our targeted incentive strategy and attractive product offerings, especially with our Trophy Signature Homes brand. We were particularly encouraged by the improvement in sales pace during the quarter. Orders exceeded deliveries, resulting in sequential backlog growth and positioning the company well for the second half of 2026."

"Our gross margins continue to be industry-leading and are a direct result of our disciplined land acquisition and development strategy. By concentrating on infill and infill-adjacent communities in high-demand submarkets, we continue to benefit from attractive locations, efficient development economics, and a competitive positioning that is difficult to replicate."

"We are also pleased with the progress of our financial services offerings, especially the growth of our wholly-owned mortgage company, Green Brick Mortgage" added Mr. Brickman. "Financial services operating income for the quarter increased 91% year over year to $5.7 million and exceeded $10 million year to date as Green Brick Mortgage continued to expand, reflecting increased scale and higher customer adoption across our platform. We believe our integrated financial services offering enhances the customer experience while creating an additional source of earnings growth."

"Total liquidity at quarter end was $462 million. The company's homebuilding debt-to-total capital ratio at quarter end was 11.2% and our net homebuilding debt-to-total capital ratio was 6.1%, compared to 14.4% and 9.4%, respectively, over the prior year. Despite having only 6% net homebuilding debt to total capital, our owned lot position grew from 37,023 lots at year-end to 39,588 lots as of June 30, 2026, an increase of 7% sequentially and a 11.6% increase year over year."

Mr. Brickman concluded, “We have worked hard to build an investment grade balance sheet that gives us flexibility. We believe our strong liquidity and disciplined capital strategy enable us to invest with confidence, remain selective in the opportunities we pursue, and position the Company to capitalize on future growth while continuing to generate attractive returns for shareholders.”

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 net homebuilding debt to total capitalization. Net homebuilding 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 homebuilding 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 homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio as of June 30, 2026:

	Total capitalization												Homebuilding capitalization(1)
