EXHIBIT 99.1

LGI Homes, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - LGI Homes, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGIH) today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

“We are pleased with our first quarter results, which met or exceeded our expectations across nearly every metric,” said Eric Lipar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LGI Homes. “Our teams executed well throughout the quarter and the early weeks of the spring selling season have reinforced our confidence in the year ahead.

“In the first quarter, we delivered a total of 916 homes. 881 home closings contributed to revenue of $319.7 million and 35 currently or previously leased homes were recognized in other income. Notably, our average sales price per home closed increased nearly 3% to approximately $362,924, demonstrating our ability to preserve pricing while continuing to support affordability through targeted price discounts and financing strategies. We are pleased with our margin performance, including delivering an adjusted gross margin of 23.4%, exceeding our previous guidance range and further demonstrating our continued focus on cost discipline.

“Our teams remained focused on driving leads, managing inventory, and executing on sales initiatives that directly contributed to ending the quarter with 1,699 homes in backlog, up 63.4% compared to the same period last year and 21.9% sequentially.

“The performance to date in 2026 reinforces our confidence in the full‑year guidance we shared on our last call. Additionally, based on first quarter margins exceeding our previous guidance range, we are raising full year gross margin guidance to between 18.5% and 20.5% and adjusted gross margin between 22.0% and 24.0%.”

Mr. Lipar concluded, “Our first quarter results reflect the strength of our operating model and the dedication of our teams across the country. The structural advantages of our self-developed land pipeline, combined with our disciplined approach to pricing and inventory management, continue to support our margins and position us to perform through varying market conditions.”

Full Year 2026 Outlook

Subject to the caveats in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release and the assumptions noted below, the Company is updating its gross margin and adjusted gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues outlook for the full year 2026 and reiterating its other outlook items for the full year 2026. Currently, the Company expects for full year 2026:

•Home closings between 4,600 and 5,400

•Active selling communities at the end of 2026 between 150 and 160

•Average sales price per home closed between $355,000 and $365,000

•Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues between 18.5% and 20.5%, adjusted for estimated capitalized interest and estimated purchase accounting of approximately 3.5%, which results in Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues between 22.0% and 24.0%

•SG&A as a percentage of home sales revenues between 15.0% and 16.0%

•Effective tax rate of approximately 26.5%

This outlook assumes that general economic conditions, including input costs, materials, product and labor availability, interest rates and mortgage availability, in the remainder of 2026 are similar to those experienced to date in 2026 and that the average sales price per home closed, construction costs, availability of land and land development costs for the remainder of 2026 are consistent with the Company’s recent experience. In addition, this outlook assumes that governmental regulations relating to land development and home construction are similar to those currently in place and does not take into account any additional changes to U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and duties on homebuilding products.

(3)Ending backlog consists of retail homes at the end of the period that are under a purchase contract that has been signed by homebuyers who have met preliminary financing criteria but have not yet closed and wholesale contracts with varying terms. Ending backlog is valued at the contract amount.

(4)As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 442 units related to bulk sales agreements associated with its wholesale business.

(5)As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 253 units related to bulk sales agreements associated with its wholesale business.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has provided information in this press release relating to adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, gross margin excluding inventory impairment, adjusted gross margin, and net debt to capital ratio.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

Adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income less inventory impairment charges. The Company defines adjusted basic earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average basic shares outstanding. The Company defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share provides useful information to investors because such measures isolate the impact that inventory impairment charges have on net income and earnings per share. However, because adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the inventory impairment charge, which has real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results, the utility of adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share as measures of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share should be considered only as supplements to net income, basic earnings per share, and diluted earnings per share, respectively, as measures of the Company’s performance.

The following table reconciles adjusted net income to net income, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable, and adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing adjusted net income by basic or diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively (dollars in thousands, except earnings per share, unaudited):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Net income	$	2,160	$	3,994
Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding	23,149,912		23,396,470

Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding	23,219,224		23,466,746
Adjusted diluted earnings per share	$	0.24	$	0.17

Gross Margin Excluding Inventory Impairment and Adjusted Gross Margin

Gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines gross margin excluding inventory impairment as gross margin less inventory impairment charges. The Company defines adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding inventory impairment, less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Management believes gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin are useful because they isolate the impact that capitalized interest, purchase accounting adjustments, and inventory impairment (as applicable) have on gross margin. However, because gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin exclude capitalized interest, purchase accounting adjustments, and inventory impairment (as applicable), which have real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results, the utility of gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin as measures of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin should be considered only as supplements to gross margin as a measure of the Company’s performance.

The following table reconciles gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands, unaudited):





	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025
Home sales revenues	$	319,736		$	351,420
Cost of sales	259,807			277,707
Gross margin	$	59,929		$	73,713
Inventory impairment	4,681			—
Gross margin excluding inventory impairment	$	64,610		$	73,713
Capitalized interest charged to cost of sales	9,976			8,267
Purchase accounting adjustments (1)	389			809
Adjusted gross margin	$	74,975		$	82,789
Gross margin % (2)	18.7		%	21.0		%
Gross margin % excluding inventory impairment (2)	20.2		%	21.0		%
Adjusted gross margin % (2)	23.4		%	23.6		%

(1)Adjustments result from the application of purchase accounting for acquisitions and represent the amount of the fair value step-up adjustments included in cost of sales for real estate inventory sold after the acquisition dates.

(2)Calculated as a percentage of home sales revenues.

Net Debt to Capital Ratio

Net debt to capital ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations and as an indicator of its ability to obtain financing. The Company defines net debt to capital ratio as net debt (which is total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) divided by net debt plus total equity. Management believes that the presentation of net debt to capital ratio provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial leverage and its ability to meet long-term obligations. By excluding cash and cash equivalents from total debt, the ratio offers a clearer view of the Company’s capital structure and financial flexibility. Management uses this metric to monitor the Company’s capital efficiency and to evaluate the effectiveness of its capital management strategies over time. Other companies may define this measure differently and, as a result, the Company’s measure of net debt to capital ratio may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies.

The following table reconciles net debt to capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) to debt to capital ratio, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands):





	March 31, 2026			December 31, 2025
Total debt (Notes payable)	$	1,709,457		$	1,656,803
Total equity	2,102,414			2,096,289
Total capital	$	3,811,871		$	3,753,092
Debt to capital ratio	44.8		%	44.1		%

Total debt (Notes payable)	$	1,709,457		$	1,656,803
Less: Cash and cash equivalents	60,860			61,247
Net debt	$	1,648,597		$	1,595,556
Total equity	2,102,414			2,096,289
Total net capital	$	3,751,011		$	3,691,845
Net debt to capital ratio (1)	44.0		%	43.2		%

(1) Net debt to capital ratio is calculated as net debt (which is total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) divided by net debt plus total equity.
