1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Tri Pointe is engaged in the design, construction and sale of innovative single-family attached and detached homes across twelve states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Utah and Washington, and the District of Columbia. In April 2024, we announced our expansion into the Coastal Carolinas region, which includes parts of South Carolina and Georgia. While we have an established presence in South Carolina, we have not yet commenced operations in Georgia as of March 31, 2026.
On February 13, 2026, the Company entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 13, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd., a Japanese corporation (kabushiki kaisha) (“Sumitomo Forestry”), and Teton NewCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Forestry (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Forestry (the “Merger”). For further details, see Note 17, Merger Transaction.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation with respect to interim financial statements, have been included. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026 due to seasonal variations and other factors.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tri Pointe Homes and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as other entities in which Tri Pointe Homes has a controlling interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which Tri Pointe Homes is the primary beneficiary. The noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 represent the outside owners’ interests in the Company’s consolidated entities. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Tri Pointe”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” used herein refer to Tri Pointe Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk
We define cash and cash equivalents as cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions, and short-term liquid investments with a maturity date of less than three months from the date of acquisition, including U.S. Treasury bills and government money-market funds with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. The Company’s cash balances exceed federally insurable limits. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as
appropriate; however, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, we apply the following steps to determine the timing and amount of revenue to recognize: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Home sales revenue
We generate the majority of our total revenues from home sales, which consists of our core business operation of building and delivering completed homes to homebuyers. Home sales revenue and related profit is generally recognized when title to and possession of the home are transferred to the homebuyer at the home closing date. Our performance obligation to deliver the agreed-upon home is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Included in home sales revenue are forfeited deposits, which occur when homebuyers cancel home purchase contracts that include a nonrefundable deposit. Both revenue from forfeited deposits and deferred revenue resulting from uncompleted performance obligations existing at the time we deliver new homes to our homebuyers are immaterial.
Financial services revenues
Tri Pointe Solutions is a reportable segment and is comprised of our Tri Pointe Connect mortgage financing operations, Tri Pointe Assurance title and escrow services operations, and Tri Pointe Advantage property and casualty insurance agency operations.
Mortgage financing operations
Effective February 1, 2024, we acquired the minority equity interest in the joint venture, upon which Tri Pointe Connect became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with this transaction, Tri Pointe Connect expanded operations to include mortgage lending services to our homebuyers in all of the markets in which we operate and provide mortgage financing by utilizing funds made available pursuant to repurchase agreements with third party lenders and by utilizing our own funds. Tri Pointe Connect will retain the ability to act as a mortgage loan broker for our homebuyers that originate loans with third party lenders.
Revenues from mortgage financing operations primarily represent mortgage loan broker fees paid by third party lenders, fees earned on mortgage loan originations and the realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with the sales and changes in the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale. When we act as a mortgage loan broker and originate loans with third party lenders, mortgage loan broker fees and mortgage loan origination fees are recognized at the time the mortgage loans are funded. When we provide mortgage financing, we recognize fees on mortgage loan originations upon loan origination.
Mortgage loans held for sale
We intend to sell all of the loans we originate in the secondary market within a short period of time after origination. As of March 31, 2026, mortgage loans held for sale had an aggregate estimated fair value of $66.2 million and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $66.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded an unrealized loss of $647,000. These amounts were included in Financial Services revenue and relate to the mortgage loans held for sale as of March 31, 2026.
Title and escrow services operations
Tri Pointe Assurance provides title examinations for our homebuyers in the Carolinas and Colorado and both title examinations and escrow services for our homebuyers in Arizona, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Nevada, Texas, Washington and Virginia. Tri Pointe Assurance is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tri Pointe and acts as a title agency for First American Title Insurance Company. Revenue from our title and escrow services operations is fully recognized at the time of the consummation of the home sales transaction, at which time no further performance obligations are left to be satisfied. Tri Pointe Assurance revenue is included in the Financial Services section of our consolidated statements of operations.
Property and casualty insurance agency operations
Tri Pointe Advantage is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tri Pointe and provides property and casualty insurance agency services that help facilitate the closing process in all of the markets in which we operate. The total consideration for these services, including renewal options, is estimated upon the issuance of the initial insurance policy, subject to constraint. Tri Pointe Advantage revenue is included in the Financial Services section of our consolidated statements of operations.
Transaction Expense
On February 13, 2026, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Sumitomo Forestry and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the parties intend to effectuate the Merger. Transaction expense related to the Merger for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $5.9 million and is included on the consolidated statements of operations. We expect to incur additional transaction-related costs in future periods in connection with the Merger, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
New Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for our annual report covering the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2027, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.
2. Segment Information
We operate two principal businesses: homebuilding and financial services.
Tri Pointe Homes is engaged in the business of acquiring and developing land and constructing and selling single-family detached and attached homes. In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, we have aggregated our geographical homebuilding segments under the aggregation criteria outlined. In determining the most appropriate reportable segments, we considered similar economic and other characteristics, including product types, average selling prices, gross profits, production processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, land acquisition results, and underlying demand and supply. In addition, our determination of reporting segments considered how our chief operating decision maker evaluates operating performance and capital allocation. Based upon these factors and in consideration of the geographical layout of our homebuilding markets, we have identified three homebuilding reporting segments which are reported under the following hierarchy:
West region: Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington
Central region: Colorado, Texas and Utah
East region: District of Columbia, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia
In April 2024, we announced our expansion into the Coastal Carolinas region, which includes parts of South Carolina and Georgia. While we have an established presence in South Carolina, we have not yet commenced operations in Georgia as of March 31, 2026.
Our Tri Pointe Solutions financial services operation is a reportable segment and is comprised of our Tri Pointe Connect mortgage financing operations, our Tri Pointe Assurance title and escrow services operations, and our Tri Pointe Advantage property and casualty insurance agency operations. These financial services businesses have been aggregated in accordance with the criteria outlined in ASC 280, considering their similar economic and operational characteristics. For further details, see Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements company-wide strategic initiatives and provides support to our homebuilding reporting segments by centralizing certain administrative functions, such as marketing, legal, accounting, treasury, insurance, internal audit and risk management, information technology and human resources, to benefit from economies of scale. Our Corporate non-operating segment also includes general and administrative expenses related to operating our corporate headquarters.
The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements, as described in Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Operational results of each reportable segment are
not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the reportable segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and reviews segment performance to make resource allocation decisions. The CODM evaluates each segment based on revenue, operating profit, and other key homebuilding metrics to guide strategic decisions.
Total revenues, significant expenses and income before income taxes for each of our reportable segments were as follows (in thousands):

Homes completed or under construction is comprised of costs associated with homes in various stages of construction and includes direct construction and related land acquisition and land development costs. Land under development primarily consists of land acquisition and land development costs, which include capitalized interest and real estate taxes, associated with land undergoing improvement activity. Land held for future development principally reflects land acquisition and land development costs related to land where development activity has not yet begun or has been suspended, but is expected to occur in the future.
Real estate inventories not owned includes deposits related to land purchase and land and lot option agreements. For further details on deposits, see Note 7, Variable Interest Entities. In addition, real estate inventories not owned includes land sold under a land bank financing arrangement for which we retained a repurchase option.
Interest incurred, capitalized and expensed were as follows (in thousands):

Interest is capitalized to real estate inventory during development and other qualifying activities. During all periods presented, we capitalized all interest incurred to real estate inventory in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Interest, as our qualified assets exceeded our debt. Interest that is capitalized to real estate inventory is included in cost of home sales or cost of land and lot sales as related units or lots are delivered. Interest that is expensed as incurred is included in other (expense) income, net.
Real Estate Inventory Impairments and Land Option Abandonments

There were no real estate inventory impairment charges recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
In addition to owning land and residential lots, we also have option agreements to purchase land and lots at a future date. We have option deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with the optioned land and lots. When the economics of a project no longer support acquisition of the land or lots under option, we may elect not to move forward with the acquisition. Option deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with the assets under option may be forfeited at that time.
Real estate inventory impairments and land option abandonments are recorded in cost of home sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
6. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
As of March 31, 2026, we held equity investments in sixteen active homebuilding partnerships or limited liability companies. Our participation in these entities may be as a developer, a builder, or an investment partner. Our ownership percentage varies from 8% to 50%, depending on the investment, with no controlling interest held in any of these homebuilding investments. In addition, we have one consolidated financial services joint venture in which we own an 80% interest. This joint venture is included in our consolidated financial statements, and the noncontrolling interest is presented separately.
Aggregated assets, liabilities and equity of the entities we account for as equity-method investments are as follows (in thousands):

| Total liabilities and equity | $ | 848,446 | | | $ | 731,012 | |
Guarantees
The unconsolidated entities in which we hold an equity investment generally finance their activities with a combination of equity and secured project debt financing. We have, and in some cases our joint venture partner has, guaranteed portions of the loan obligations for some of the homebuilding partnerships or limited liability companies, which may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion; (ii) remargin obligations; and (iii) environmental indemnities.
In circumstances in which we have entered into joint and several guarantees with our joint venture partner, we generally seek to implement a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed-upon share of the guaranteed obligations. In the event our joint venture partner does not have
adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under such a reimbursement agreement, or otherwise fails to satisfy its obligations thereunder, we may be responsible for more than our proportionate share of any obligations under such guarantees.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have not recorded any liabilities for these obligations and guarantees, as the fair value of the related joint venture real estate assets exceeded the threshold where a remargin payment would be required and no other obligations under the guarantees existed as of such time. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, aggregate outstanding debt for unconsolidated entities, included in the “Debt obligations and other liabilities” line of the aggregated assets, liabilities and equity shown in the table above, was $197.4 million and $177.6 million, respectively.

| Company’s equity in (loss) income of unconsolidated entities | | | | | $ | (88) | | | $ | 495 | |
The aggregate results of operations from unconsolidated entities include related party transactions with the Company. When we purchase land from a joint venture in which we are a partner, such transactions are reflected as net sales in the joint ventures’ operating results, with any profit eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, when we act as the general partner or managing member, we earn an immaterial, market-based administrative fee for services provided, which is reflected as other operating expense in the joint ventures’ operating results, and as other income (expense) on our consolidated statements of operations.
7. Variable Interest Entities
Land and Lot Option Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land and lot option agreements in order to procure land and residential lots for future development and the construction of homes. The use of such land and lot option agreements generally allows us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, and reduces our capital and financial commitments. Pursuant to these land and lot option agreements, we generally provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. These deposits are recorded as land purchase and land option deposits under real estate inventories not owned on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
We analyze each of our land and lot option agreements and other similar contracts under the provisions of Accounting Standards Topic 810 (“ASC 810”), Consolidation to determine whether the land seller is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the underlying land, if we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our financial statements and reflect its assets as real estate inventory not owned included in our real estate inventories, its liabilities as debt (nonrecourse) held by VIEs in accrued expenses and other liabilities and the net equity of the VIE owners as noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider, among other things, whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Such activities would include, among other things, determining or limiting the scope or purpose of the VIE, selling or transferring property owned or controlled by the VIE, or arranging financing for the VIE.
Creditors of the entities with which we have land and lot option agreements have no recourse against us. The maximum exposure to loss under our land and lot option agreements is generally limited to non-refundable option deposits and any capitalized pre-acquisition costs. In some cases, we have also contracted to complete development work at a fixed cost on behalf of the landowner and budget shortfalls and savings will be borne by us. Additionally, we have entered into land banking arrangements which require us to complete development work even if we terminate the option to procure land or lots.
The following provides a summary of our interests in land and lot option agreements (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Unconsolidated VIEs represent land option agreements that were not consolidated because we were not the primary beneficiary. Other land option agreements were not with VIEs.
In addition to the deposits presented in the table above, our exposure to loss related to our land and lot option contracts consisted of capitalized pre-acquisition costs of $13.4 million and $13.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These pre-acquisition costs are included in real estate inventories as land under development on our consolidated balance sheets.
8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $139.3 million of goodwill is included in goodwill and other intangible assets, net on each of the consolidated balance sheets, which was recorded in connection with our merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (“WRECO”) in 2014. In addition, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have one intangible asset with a carrying amount of $17.3 million comprised of a Tri Pointe Homes trade name, which has an indefinite useful life and is non-amortizing, resulting from the acquisition of WRECO in 2014.

On April 30, 2025, we entered into a Fifth Modification Agreement (the “Fifth Modification”) to our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 29, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Fifth Modification, among other things, amends the Credit Agreement to (i) increase the maximum amount of the revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) under the Credit Agreement from $750.0 million to $850.0 million, with the ability to increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility up to $1.2 billion under certain circumstances, (ii) extend the maturity date of the Revolving Facility to April 30, 2030, (iii) permit three one-year extension requests for the maturity date of the Revolving Facility under certain circumstances, and (iv) modify certain financial covenants. Following the Fifth Modification, The Credit Facility (as defined below), consisted of an $850 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $250 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility” and together with the Revolving Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Term Facility was scheduled to mature on June 29, 2027 while the Revolving Facility matures on April 30, 2030. We may borrow under the Revolving Facility in the ordinary course of business to repay senior notes and fund our operations, including our land acquisition, land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility will be governed by, among other things, a borrowing base. Interest rates under the Revolving Facility will be based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 1.90%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. Interest rates under the Term Facility will be based on SOFR, plus a spread ranging from 1.10% to 1.85%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.
On September 18, 2025, we entered into a Sixth Modification Agreement (the “Sixth Modification”) to the Credit Agreement. The Sixth Modification increased the Term Facility from $250.0 million to $450.0 million and divided it into two tranches: (i) Term Facility Tranche A, which matures on September 29, 2027 and includes extension options for up to two additional one-year periods under certain conditions, and (ii) Term Facility Tranche B, which comprised $10.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and continues to mature on June 29, 2027.
On April 16, 2026, we entered into a Seventh Modification Agreement (the “Seventh Modification”) to the Credit
Agreement. The Seventh Modification (i) provides that the administrative agent and the lenders consent to, and waive any
default or event of default that would otherwise arise as a result of, the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated by Merger Agreement; and (ii) effective upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, amends the Credit Agreement to revise the definition of “Change in Control” to include the failure of Sumitomo
Forestry to directly or indirectly (a) own more than 50% of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company or (b)
possess the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies, or activities of the Company.
As of March 31, 2026, we had no outstanding debt under the Revolving Facility and there was $827.5 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2026, we had $450 million of outstanding debt under the Term Facility with an interest rate of 4.83%. As of March 31, 2026, there were $6.7 million of capitalized debt financing costs, included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet, related to the Credit Facility that will amortize over the remaining term of the Credit Facility. Accrued interest, including loan commitment fees, related to the Credit Facility was $1.9 million and $2.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit of $22.5 million and $51.9 million, respectively. These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations. We believe it is not probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $6.5 million outstanding related to two seller-financed loans. All seller-financed loans are to acquire lots for the construction of homes. Principal on these loans are expected to be fully paid by the end of fiscal year 2026, provided certain achievements are met. One of the seller-financed loans, representing $5.9 million of the total balance as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accrues interest at an imputed interest rate of 4.50% per annum. The remaining seller-financed loan represented $600,000 of the total balance as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Interest Incurred
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred interest of $18.6 million and $21.3 million, respectively, related to all debt and land banking arrangements. Included in interest incurred are amortization of deferred financing costs of $790,000 and $617,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Covenant Requirements
The Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, create liens or other encumbrances, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. These limitations are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions.
Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants, including those relating to consolidated tangible net worth, leverage, liquidity or interest coverage, and a spec unit inventory test. The Credit Facility also requires that at least 95.0% of consolidated tangible net worth must be attributable to the Company and its guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain grace periods.
The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
12. Fair Value Disclosures
Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in the following three categories:
•Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets
•Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date
•Level 3—Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

__________
(1)The book value of the Senior Notes excludes deferred loan costs of $2.1 million and $2.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is based on quoted market prices.
(2)The estimated fair value of the Term Loan Facility as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 approximated book value due to the variable interest rate terms of this loan.
(3)The estimated fair value of our seller financed loans as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 approximated book value due to the short term nature of these loans.
(4)The estimated fair value for mortgage loans held for sale are determined based on quoted market prices, and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
(5)The estimated fair value of our mortgage repurchase facilities approximated book value due to the short term nature of these maturities.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and receivables approximated fair value due to their short-term nature.
Fair Value of Nonfinancial Assets
Nonfinancial assets include items such as real estate inventories and long-lived assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when events and circumstances indicating the carrying value is not recoverable. The following table presents impairment charges and the remaining net fair value for nonfinancial assets that were measured during the periods presented (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 | | Year Ended December 31, 2025 |
| | Hierarchy | | Impairment Charge | | Fair Value Net of Impairment | | Impairment Charge | | Fair Value Net of Impairment |
Real estate inventories (1) | | Level 3 | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 31,097 | | | $ | 106,315 | |
__________ (1) Fair value of real estate inventories, net of impairment charges represents only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value in the respective periods presented. Fair Value Net of Impairment represents the fair value of the real estate inventories, net of the impairment charge, as of the date that the fair value measurements were made. The carrying value for these real estate inventories subsequently changed from the fair value reflected due to activity that occurred since the measurement date.
We recorded real estate inventory impairment charges of $31.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, comprised of $11.0 million in the West reporting segment, $4.8 million in the Central reporting segment, and $15.3 million in the East reporting segment. These impairment charges related to active communities where the carrying value of the communities exceeded their fair value based on a discounted cash flows analysis with the discount rates used to calculate fair value ranging from 10% to 15%. We considered both market risk and community-specific risk to arrive at a discount rate appropriate for the level of total risk associated with these communities.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been and may be instituted or asserted against us in the normal course of business, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, employment practices, environmental protection and financial services. As a result, we are subject to periodic examinations or inquiry by agencies administering these laws and regulations.
We record a reserve for potential legal claims and regulatory matters when they are probable of occurring and a potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for these matters based on facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates when necessary. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting outcomes of legal claims and related contingencies, we generally cannot predict their ultimate resolution, related timing or eventual loss. Accordingly, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any matter, if in excess of a related accrual or if no accrual was made, could be material to our financial statements. For matters as to which the Company believes a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, we had zero legal reserves as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Warranty
Warranty reserves are accrued as home deliveries occur. Our warranty reserves on homes delivered will vary based on product type and geographic area and also depending on state and local laws. The warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and represents expected future costs based on our historical experience over previous years. Estimated warranty costs are charged to cost of home sales in the period in which the related home sales revenue is recognized.
We maintain general liability insurance designed to protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from warranty and construction defect-related claims. We also generally require our subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify us for liabilities arising from their work, subject to various limitations. However, such indemnity is significantly limited with respect to certain subcontractors that are added to our general liability insurance policy.
Our warranty reserve and related estimated insurance recoveries are based on actuarial analysis that uses our historical claim and expense data, as well as industry data to estimate these overall costs and related recoveries. Key assumptions used in developing these estimates include claim frequencies, severities and resolution patterns, which can occur over an extended period of time. Our warranty reserve may also include an estimate of future fit and finish warranty claims to the extent not contemplated in the actuarial analysis. These estimates are subject to variability due to the length of time between the delivery of a home to a homebuyer and when a warranty or construction defect claim is made, and the ultimate resolution of such claim; uncertainties regarding such claims relative to our markets and the types of product we build; and legal or regulatory actions and/or interpretations, among other factors. Due to the degree of judgment involved and the potential for variability in these underlying assumptions, our actual future costs could differ from those estimated. There can be no assurance that the terms and limitations of the limited warranty will be effective against claims made by homebuyers, that we will be able to renew our insurance coverage or renew it at reasonable rates, that we will not be liable for damages, cost of repairs, and/or the expense of litigation surrounding possible construction defects, soil subsidence or building related claims or that claims will not arise out of uninsurable events or circumstances not covered by insurance and not subject to effective indemnification agreements with certain subcontractors.
We also record expected recoveries from insurance carriers based on actual insurance claims made and actuarially determined amounts that depend on various factors, including the above-described reserve estimates, our insurance policy coverage limits for the applicable policy years and historical recovery rates. Because of the inherent uncertainty and variability in these assumptions, our actual insurance recoveries could differ significantly from amounts currently estimated. Outstanding warranty insurance receivables was $68.9 million and $69.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Warranty insurance receivables are recorded in receivables on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Warranty reserve activity consisted of the following (in thousands):

| Warranty reserves, end of period | | | | | $ | 125,422 | | | $ | 113,865 | |
Performance Bonds
We obtain surety bonds in the normal course of business to ensure completion of certain infrastructure improvements of our projects. The beneficiaries of the bonds are various municipalities. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding surety bonds totaling $644.1 million and $634.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our estimated cost to complete obligations related to these surety bonds was $528.9 million and $492.4 million, respectively.
Lease Obligations
Under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), we recognize a right-of-use lease asset and a lease liability for contracts deemed to contain a lease at the inception of the contract. Our lease population is fully comprised of operating leases, which are now recorded at the net present value of future lease obligations existing at each balance sheet date. At the inception of a lease, or if a lease is subsequently modified, we determine whether the lease is an operating or financing lease. Key estimates involved with ASC 842 include the discount rate used to measure our future lease obligations and the lease term, where considerations include renewal options and intent to renew. Lease right-of-use assets are included in other assets and lease liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.
Operating Leases
We lease certain property and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Office leases are for terms of up to ten years and generally provide renewal options. In most cases, we expect that, in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Equipment leases are typically for terms of three to four years.
Ground Leases
In 1987, we obtained two 55-year ground leases of commercial property that provided for three renewal options of ten years each and one 45-year renewal option. We exercised the three 10-year extensions on one of these ground leases to extend the lease through 2071. The commercial buildings on these properties have been sold and the ground leases have been sublet to the buyers.

14. Stock-Based Compensation
2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan
On April 20, 2022, our stockholders approved the Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which had been previously approved by our board of directors. The 2022 Plan replaced the Company’s prior stock compensation plan, the TRI Pointe Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2022 Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, bonus stock and performance awards. The 2022 Plan will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of its effective date. Our board of directors may terminate or amend the 2022 Plan at any time, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation.
The total number of shares of our common stock initially reserved under the 2022 Plan was 7,500,000 shares.
To the extent that shares of our common stock subject to an outstanding option, stock appreciation right, stock award or performance award granted under the 2022 Plan are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award or the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares of our common stock generally will again be available under the 2022 Plan. However, the 2022 Plan prohibits us from re-using shares that are tendered or surrendered to pay the exercise cost or tax obligation for stock options and stock appreciation rights.
As of March 31, 2026, there were 4,281,085 shares available for future grant under the 2022 Plan.
The following table presents compensation expense recognized related to all stock-based awards (in thousands):

| | | | | | 2026 | | 2025 |

Stock-based compensation is charged to general and administrative expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to all stock-based awards was $44.4 million and the weighted average term over which the expense was expected to be recognized was 1.4 years.
Summary of Restricted Stock Unit Activity
The following table presents a summary of time-based and performance-based RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2026:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Restricted Stock Units | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |
| Nonvested RSUs at December 31, 2025 | 3,122,349 | | | $ | 30.42 | |

| Nonvested RSUs at March 31, 2026 | 2,578,705 | | | $ | 35.95 | |
On February 17, 2026, the Company granted an aggregate of 573,812 time-based RSUs to certain employees and officers. The RSUs granted vest in equal installments annually on the anniversary of the grant date over a three-year period. The fair value of each RSU granted on February 17, 2026 was measured using a price of $46.30 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,517 time-based RSUs to certain employees not described above. The RSUs granted vest in equal installments annually beginning on anniversary of the grant date over a three-year period. The fair value of the RSUs granted were measured using the closing stock prices on the applicable date of each grant. Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
On February 19, 2025, the Company granted an aggregate of 509,446 time-based RSUs to certain employees and officers. The RSUs granted vest in equal installments annually on the anniversary of the grant date over a three-year period. The fair value of each RSU granted on February 19, 2025 was measured using a price of $30.89 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
On February 19, 2025, the Company granted an aggregate of 760,119 performance-based RSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and President, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Human Resources Officer, and division presidents. These performance-based RSUs are allocated to two separate performance metrics, as follows: (i) 50% to homebuilding revenue of the applicable Company division, and (ii) 50% to pre-tax earnings of the applicable Company division. The vesting, if at all, of these performance-based RSUs may range from 0% to 100% and will be based on the applicable Company division’s percentage attainment of specified threshold, target and maximum performance goals. The performance period for these performance-based RSUs is January 1,
2025 to December 31, 2027. The fair value of these performance-based RSUs was measured using a price of $30.89 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed over the requisite service period.
On May 5, 2025, the Company granted an aggregate of 27,820 time-based RSUs to the non-employee members of its board of directors. The RSUs granted to the non-employee directors vest in their entirety on the day immediately prior to the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. The fair value of each RSU granted on May 5, 2025 was measured using a price of $31.45 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted an aggregate of 11,903 time-based RSUs to certain employees not described above.

The fair value of the RSUs granted were measured using the closing stock prices on the applicable date of each grant. Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period
As RSUs vest for employees, a portion of the shares awarded is generally withheld to cover employee tax withholdings. As a result, the number of RSUs vested and the number of shares of Tri Pointe common stock issued will differ.
15. Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered. Each quarter we assess our deferred tax asset to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740. We are required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset we conclude is more likely than not to be unrealizable. Our assessment considers, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of our current and cumulative losses, forecasts of our future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning alternatives.
We had net deferred tax assets of $43.1 million as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. We had a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of $3.7 million and $3.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company will continue to evaluate both positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Changes in positive and negative evidence, including differences between the Company’s future operating results and the estimates utilized in the determination of the valuation allowance, could result in changes in the Company’s estimate of the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Our provision for income taxes totaled $81,000 and $22.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company classifies any interest and penalties related to income taxes assessed by jurisdiction as part of income tax expense. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions recorded as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company has not been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions related to prior years.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., including federal and multiple state and local jurisdictions.

17. Merger Transaction
On February 13, 2026, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Sumitomo Forestry and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the parties intend to effectuate the Merger. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Merger has not yet been completed.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of our common stock will be converted into the right to receive $47.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), except for shares that are (A)(1) held by us as treasury stock; (2) held directly by Sumitomo Forestry or Merger Sub; or (3) held by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Forestry or Merger Sub, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Owned Company Shares”), or (B) held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, and has properly and validly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance, and who complies in all respects, with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”). Further, at the Effective Time, each Owned Company Share will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and no consideration or payment will be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof, and each share held by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company will, if any, be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation with an aggregate value immediately after the consummation of the Merger equal to the Merger Consideration.
Additionally, at the Effective Time, (i) each restricted stock unit (“RSU”) granted under the 2022 Plan granted prior to 2026 and each RSU held by any of our non-employee directors, in each case whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be fully vested, cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and subject to deduction for any required tax withholdings) equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of common stock subject to such RSU, and (B) the Merger Consideration; (ii) each RSU that is not subject to the preceding clause (i) above that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically converted into and substituted with a cash award representing the right to receive, upon each applicable vesting date for such RSU (or if earlier, upon a severance-eligible termination of employment), and subject to the same time-vesting terms and conditions that applied to such RSU (other than vesting terms providing for accelerated vesting in connection with the Merger), as in effect immediately prior to such conversion, an amount in cash (without interest and subject to deduction for any required tax withholdings) equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of common stock subject to such RSU that would have vested on such vesting date had such RSU remained outstanding through such vesting date, and (B) the Merger Consideration; and (iii) each performance stock unit (“PSU”) granted under the 2022 Plan, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be fully vested, cancelled, and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest, and subject to deduction for any required tax withholdings) equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of common stock subject to such PSU (at maximum performance) and (B) the Merger Consideration.
At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares will be cancelled and cease to exist, and the holders of Dissenting Shares will only be entitled to the rights granted to them under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such Dissenting Shares. If the Merger is consummated, our common stock will be de-listed from The New York Stock Exchange and de-registered under the Exchange Act.
The completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the (i) approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote on such matters to adopt the Merger Agreement; (ii) expiration or termination of any waiting period (and extensions thereof) applicable to the Transactions under
the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (iii) absence of any law, order or injunction enacted or issued after the date of the Merger Agreement restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger; and (iv) absence of certain events comprising a material adverse effect on the Company’s business following the date of the Merger Agreement. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the portions of the conditions to the Merger relating to stockholder approval of the Merger Agreement and the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act have been satisfied. The Merger continues to be subject to the remaining conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The obligations of Sumitomo Forestry and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger are not subject to any financing condition.
From the execution of the Merger Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, we will be subject to customary “no-shop” restrictions on our ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to, and participate in discussions and negotiations with, third parties regarding any alternative acquisition proposals, subject to a customary “fiduciary out” provision that allows us, under certain specified circumstances (prior to the receipt of stockholder approval of the Merger Agreement), to provide information to, and participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, third parties with respect to an acquisition proposal if our board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with our independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such alternative acquisition proposal constitutes a superior proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a superior proposal, and the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with our directors’ fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable law. As of April 16, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved the Merger Agreement at a special meeting and, accordingly, as of the
date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the “fiduciary out” is no longer available to the Company.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for us, on the one hand, and Sumitomo Forestry and Merger Sub, on the other hand. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, we would be required to pay Sumitomo Forestry a termination fee of $82,336,000. Following the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders on April 16, 2026, the Company is no longer permitted to terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into an alternative acquisition agreement or to effect a change of recommendation pursuant to the “fiduciary out” provisions of the Merger Agreement.
The Company also made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and agreed to customary covenants regarding the operation of our business prior to the consummation of the Merger. The Merger Agreement also provides that we, on the one hand, or Sumitomo Forestry and Merger Sub, on the other hand, may specifically enforce the obligations under the Merger Agreement, including the obligation to consummate the Merger if the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement are satisfied. The parties to the Merger Agreement have also agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts and take certain actions to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for the Transactions.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions does not purport to be complete, and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which has been filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
