United Homes Group, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results
COLUMBIA, S.C.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--United Homes Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: UHG) today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Operating Results
For the fourth quarter 2025, net income was $3.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, which included a gain from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $22.1 million, with that change primarily due to changes in fair value on the Company's warrants due to fluctuation in the warrant price during the measurement period, representing a non-cash expense item, partially offset by deferred tax expense of $20.4 million related to a valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax assets. Net income for the fourth quarter 2024 was $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, which included a change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $38.0 million, partially offset by a predominantly non-cash loss on extinguishment of Convertible Notes of $45.6 million. Adjusted book value 2, which excludes derivative liabilities and goodwill, was $78.3 million as of December 31, 2025.
Revenue, net of sales discounts, for the fourth quarter 2025 was $123.4 million, compared to $134.8 million in the fourth quarter 2024. Home closings during the fourth quarter 2025 were 375 compared to 414 in the fourth quarter 2024. Net new orders during the fourth quarter 2025 were 303 compared to 351 in the fourth quarter 2024. ASP of 374 production-built homes closed during the fourth quarter 2025 was approximately $329,000, compared to $324,000 during the fourth quarter 2024 for 413 production-built homes.
Gross margin during the fourth quarter of 2025 was 17.5% compared to 16.2% during the fourth quarter 2024. Adjusted gross margin 3 in the fourth quarter 2025 was 19.1%, compared to 18.1% in the fourth quarter 2024. UHG’s year-over-year gross margin increase is primarily attributable to savings in direct construction costs, partially offset by higher relative land costs and higher discounting.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") as a percentage of revenues was 16.2% in the fourth quarter 2025, which included $1.3 million of stock-based compensation and $2.5 million of transaction-related expenses. Excluding stock-based compensation and transaction-related expenses, Adjusted SG&A 4 for the fourth quarter 2025 was 13.2% of revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA 5 during the fourth quarter 2025 was $8.6 million compared to $7.7 million during the fourth quarter 2024.
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025 Operating Results
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, net loss was $16.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, which included deferred tax expense of $20.4 million related to a valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax assets, partially offset by a gain of $9.9 million predominantly due to changes in fair value on potential earn-out consideration due to fluctuation in the stock price during the measurement period, representing a non-cash income item. The earnout consideration would be paid in common shares upon reaching certain stock price hurdles, or upon a change in control. The Company is required to record the fair value of this earnout as derivative liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and to record changes in fair value of derivative liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, in each case until UHG shares reach certain predetermined values, a change of control occurs, or the expiration of the five year earnout period. Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 was $46.9 million, or $0.90 per diluted share.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, revenue, net of sales discounts, was $406.7 million, compared to $463.7 million for fiscal 2024. Home closings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 were 1,192 compared to 1,431 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Net new home orders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 were 1,227 compared to 1,399 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Gross margin for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 was 17.6% compared to 17.2% for fiscal year 2024. The increase in gross margin is attributable to a decrease in direct costs and interest as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by higher discounting.
Adjusted gross margin 3 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 was 19.7%, compared to 19.9% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted gross margin decreased slightly due primarily to increased discounting, partially offset by reduced direct construction costs.
SG&A as a percentage of revenues was 17.6% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which included $6.6 million of stock-based compensation, $3.9 million of transaction-related expenses, and $0.1 million of severance expense in SG&A. Excluding stock-based compensation, transaction-related expenses, and severance expense, Adjusted SG&A 4 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 was 15.0% of revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA 5 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 was $22.5 million compared to $31.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent Developments
Merger Agreement
On February 22, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Stanley Martin Homes, LLC (“Parent”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to which the subsidiary will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to the Merger Agreement and any shares held by stockholders who properly exercise dissenters’ rights under applicable law) will be converted into the right to receive $1.18 in cash per share, without interest. The Merger is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions. If the Merger is consummated, the Company’s common stock and warrants will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company will become a privately held company.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted Gross Profit
Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management of the Company as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines adjusted gross profit as gross profit excluding the effects of capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales, amortization included in homebuilding cost of sales, abandoned project costs, severance expense in cost of sales, and non-recurring remediation costs. The Company’s management believes this information is meaningful because it separates the impact that capitalized interest and non-recurring costs directly expensed in cost of sales have on gross profit to provide a more specific measurement of the Company’s gross profits. However, because adjusted gross profit information excludes certain balances expensed in cost of sales, which have real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results of operations, the utility of adjusted gross profit information as a measure of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. Other companies may not calculate adjusted gross profit information in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted gross profit information should be considered only as a supplement to gross profit information as a measure of the Company’s performance.
The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted gross profit to the GAAP financial measure of gross profit for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages).

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management of the Company. The Company defines EBITDA as net income before (i) capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales, (ii) interest expensed in other (expense) income, net, (iii) depreciation and amortization, and (iv) taxes. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense, transaction cost expense, amortization included in homebuilding cost of sales, severance expense, abandoned project costs, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, loss on extinguishment of Convertible Notes, and non-recurring remediation costs. Management of the Company believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful because they provide a more effective evaluation of UHG’s operating performance and allow comparison of UHG’s results of operations from period to period without regard to UHG’s financing methods or capital structure or other items that impact comparability of financial results from period to period such as fluctuations in interest expense or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. UHG’s computations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA of other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages).

Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense, or adjusted SG&A, is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management of UHG. UHG defines adjusted SG&A as SG&A, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense, transaction cost expense, and severance expense in selling, general and administrative expense. Management of UHG believes adjusted SG&A provides useful information to investors because it enables an alternative assessment of the Company's operating results in a manner that is focused on its operating performance.

Adjusted Book Value
Adjusted book value is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management of UHG. UHG defines adjusted book value as total stockholders' equity (book value), excluding the effect of derivative instruments and goodwill. Management of UHG believes adjusted book value is useful to investors because it excludes the impact of fair value adjustments on derivative instruments and goodwill which are not expected to result in economic gain or loss.
