About this update from Green Brick Partners, Inc.

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.” Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Three Months Ended June 30,         2026       2025     Change New homes delivered   1,047       1,042     0.5 %             Total homebuilding revenues $ 481,596     $ 534,563     (9.9 )% Homebuilding cost of revenues   336,320       367,049     (8.4 )% Total gross profit $ 145,276     $ 167,514     (13.3 )% Income before income taxes $ 99,477     $ 112,288     (11.4 )% Net income attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. $ 74,170     $ 81,948     (9.5 )% Diluted net income attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. per common share $ 1.70     $ 1.85     (8.1 )%             Residential units revenue $ 471,996     $ 532,525     (11.4 )% Average sales price of homes delivered $ 450.3     $ 511.1     (11.9 )% Homebuilding gross margin percentage   29.8 %     31.3 %   -150 bps             Backlog revenue $ 387,376     $ 507,137     (23.6 )% Backlog units   681       730     (6.7 )% Homes under construction   2,205       2,204     — %     Three Months Ended June 30,           2026       2025     % Total financial services revenues   $ 12,243     $ 6,315     93.9 % Financial services expenses     (6,604 )     (3,351 )   97.1 % Financial services operating income   $ 5,639     $ 2,964     90.2 % Total originations:             Loans     521       146     256.8 % Principal   $ 196,531     $ 31,374     526.4 %               Average FICO score     736       745       Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026: (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Six Months Ended June 30,         2026       2025     Change New homes delivered   1,955       1,952     0.2 %             Total homebuilding revenues $ 937,583     $ 1,019,016     (8.0 )% Homebuilding cost of revenues   660,592       695,717     (5.0 )% Total gross profit $ 276,991     $ 323,299     (14.3 )% Income before income taxes $ 183,740     $ 218,436     (15.9 )% Net income attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. $ 135,115     $ 157,007     (13.9 )% Diluted net income attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. per common share $ 3.09     $ 3.52     (12.2 )%             Residential units revenue $ 920,483     $ 1,014,674     (9.3 )% Average sales price of homes delivered $ 470.3     $ 519.8     (9.5 )% Homebuilding gross margin percentage   29.4 %     31.7 %   -230 bps     Six Months Ended June 30,           2026       2025     % Total financial services revenues   $ 21,915     $ 11,182     96.0 % Financial services expenses     (11,955 )     (6,409 )   86.5 % Financial services operating income   $ 9,960     $ 4,773     108.7 % Total originations:             Loans     886       251     253.0 % Principal   $ 346,886     $ 108,901     218.5 %               Average FICO score     739       743       Earnings Conference Call: We will host our earnings conference call to discuss our second quarter ended June 30, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, July 30, 2026.

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)   Gross   Cash and cash equivalents   Net   Gross   Cash and cash equivalents   Net Total debt, net of debt issuance costs $ 284,015     $ (131,642 )   $ 152,373     $ 249,383     $ (121,583 )   $ 127,800   Total Green Brick Partners, Inc. stockholders’ equity   1,975,496       —       1,975,496       1,975,496       —       1,975,496   Total capitalization $ 2,259,511     $ (131,642 )   $ 2,127,869     $ 2,224,879     $ (121,583 )   $ 2,103,296                           Debt to total capitalization ratio   12.6 %             11.2 %         Net debt to total capitalization ratio           7.2 %             6.1 % ___________ (1) Homebuilding capitalization ratio excludes cash and debt related to our wholly owned mortgage company.
