Our note on each quarter Century Communities files

10-Q filed October 29: Century Communities

Century Communities reported revenue of $3.81bn for the twelve months to September 2026, down 8.2% on a year earlier. That decline eased slightly from the 8.9% drop recorded a quarter earlier, suggesting the pace of contraction is slowing. Free-cash-flow margin, however, moved in the other direction, falling to -2.3% from 5.1% a year earlier, a sign that cash generation has weakened even as the top-line slide moderates. On the balance sheet side, the diluted share count is down 6.4% on a year earlier. Fewer shares outstanding means each remaining share carries a larger claim on the business, though this effect does not offset the deterioration in cash profitability.

Our model value for Century Communities is under review, so past values are not shown until it is resolved.

10-Q filed July 23: Century Communities

Century Communities reported revenue of $3.81bn for the twelve months to June 2026, down 8.2% on the prior year. That decline has eased somewhat, following an 8.9% drop a quarter earlier. Less encouraging is the free-cash-flow margin, which slid to -2.3% from 5.1% a year earlier, a sharp reversal in cash generation. On the capital side, the diluted share count has shrunk by 6.4% over the same period, which spreads earnings and cash flow across fewer shares and lifts the value attributable to each one remaining. Taken together, these shifts have nudged the company's fundamentals grade up from D to C, suggesting a modest improvement in overall quality even as top-line pressure persists and cash conversion remains weak.

10-Q on SEC EDGAR

Where Century Communities stands after its latest 10-Q

Revenue for the twelve months to June 2026 was $3.93bn, down 8.9% on a year earlier, a steeper fall than the 8.0% decline a quarter earlier. Free-cash-flow margin fell to 0.9% from 3.0% a year earlier. The diluted share count is down 6.7% on a year earlier, which lifts each remaining share. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades D.

  • Cash conversion 4 / 20

  • Discipline 20 / 20

    The diluted share count fell 14.8% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 0.6% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Low. In this industry, the business rests on physical assets, regulated networks or products AI itself depends on.

Source: SEC EDGAR XBRL company facts (US and foreign periodic filings); column headings link to the filing. EBITDA is operating income plus depreciation and amortisation. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
