    Homebuilding variable-rate borrowings totaled $2.360 billion, including $650.0 million due in the three months ending November 30, 2026, at an average interest rate of 4.7%; higher rates could pressure financing costs and demand.

  • No formal risk-factor update

    The filing states that there were no material changes in risk factors from the 2025 Form 10-K and other reports; however, the disclosed $650.0 million credit-facility balance and $1.4 billion of residential warehouse borrowings remain material exposures.
