Taylor Morrison Home Corp,
Fiscal Year 2025.

Amenity and Other Revenue We own and operate certain amenities such as golf courses, club houses, and fitness centers, which require us to provide club members with access to the facilities in exchange for the payment of club dues. We collect club dues and other fees from club members, which are invoiced on a monthly basis. Revenue from our golf club operations is also included in Amenity and other revenue. Amenity and other revenue also includes revenue from our Urban Form and Build-to-Rent operations which is recorded as control transfers to the buyer at transaction close and when other criteria of ASC 606 are met. In addition, lease revenue is recognized by Urban Form for commercial and residential leases and Build-to-Rent operations for rental home leases.

Investing Cash Flow Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $154.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $136.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities, partially offset by a decrease in investments of capital into unconsolidated entities.

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES We are involved in joint ventures with independent third parties for real estate development, homebuilding and mortgage lending activities. We use the equity method of accounting for entities over which we exercise significant influence but do not have a controlling interest over the operating and financial results of the investee. For unconsolidated entities in which we function as the managing member, we have evaluated the rights held by our joint venture partners and determined that they have substantive participating rights that preclude the presumption of control. For these unconsolidated joint ventures, our share of net earnings or losses is included in Net income from unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated statements of operations when earned and distributions are credited against our Investment in unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated balance sheets when received. We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for indicators of impairment semi-annually. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized, if any, is the excess of the investment's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Additionally, we consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, stage in its life cycle, intent and ability to recover our investment in the unconsolidated entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the unconsolidated entity, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the general economic environment of the land, entitlement status of the land held by the unconsolidated entity, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future cash flows and relationships with the other partners. If we believe that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded.

Ending Active Selling Communities Year Ended December 31,Change 20252024 East13812411.3% Central9199(8.1%) West112116(3.4%) Total3413390.6% Ending active selling communities were relatively consistent as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The increase in the East segment was primarily attributable to the timing of community openings, including master planned communities, which were partially offset by community close-outs. The decreases in the Central and West segments were due to the close-out of several higher paced communities in certain markets. In addition, we strategically delayed certain community openings from the fourth quarter of 2025 into the first quarter of 2026.

We provide club members access to the amenity facilities and other services in exchange for club dues and fees. Our Corporate region includes the activity relating to our Build-to-Rent and Urban Form operations. Amenity and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 in Corporate was primarily due to the sale of one Build-to-Rent project and the sale of one Urban Form asset for $55.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively. Amenity and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 in Corporate was primarily due to the sale of two Build-to-Rent projects for an aggregate of $88.4 million.

Net Income from Unconsolidated Entities Net income from unconsolidated entities was $4.9 million and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in net income from unconsolidated entities was primarily due to our joint venture relating to our Build-to-Rent operations which is still in the lease ramp-up phase. This decrease was partially offset by increases in income from our joint ventures related to our financial services segment.

Income Tax Provision Our effective tax rate was 24.1% and 23.3% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate for both years was affected by state income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Additionally, the effective tax rate in 2024 benefitted from certain energy tax credits related to homebuilding activities. We did not pursue energy credits in 2025 due to increasing costs to qualify which outweighed the benefits of obtaining such credits.

Material Cash Requirements We have various contractual obligations with commitments to pay third parties, including but not limited to our debt facilities, land purchase and land banking contracts, and leases. These obligations impact our liquidity and capital resource needs and are presented in the table below. Our short-term demands are cash requirements for the next twelve months and long-term demands are cash requirements beyond twelve months.

(1)Amount includes interest. (2)Estimated interest expense amounts for debt outstanding at the respective contractual interest rates, the weighted average of which was 5.1% as of December 31, 2024. In addition to our contractual obligations, we also have forecasted operational cash outlays on items such as future land purchases or common stock repurchases, to maintain our strategic growth and returns to our investors. Management expects to invest approximately $2.6 billion in land acquisition and development during the next twelve months which is consistent with our spend during 2024. As of December 31, 2024 we had approximately $910.1 million remaining on our share repurchase authorization, which expires on December 31, 2026.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 35 ITEM 7 | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In some locations where we act as a developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land. Land is considered held for sale once it meets all criteria in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. Land held for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. In determining the value of land held for sale, we consider recent offers received, prices for land in recent comparable sales transactions, and other factors. We record fair value adjustments for land held for sale within Cost of land closings on the Consolidated statements of operations.

INSURANCE COSTS, SELF-INSURANCE RESERVES AND WARRANTY RESERVES We are the parent of Beneva, which provides insurance coverage for construction defects discovered up to ten years following the close of a home, coverage for premise operations risk, and from time to time, property damage. We have certain deductible limits for each of our policies under our workers' compensation, automobile, and general liability insurance policies, and we record warranty expense and liabilities for the estimated costs of potential claims for construction defects. We also generally require our subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify us and provide evidence of insurance for liabilities arising from their work, subject to certain limitations. The excess liability limits are aggregated annually and applied in excess of automobile liability, employer's liability under workers compensation and general liability policies. We accrue for the expected costs associated with the deductibles and self-insured amounts under our various insurance policies based on historical claims, estimates for claims incurred but not reported, and potential for recovery of costs from insurance and other sources. The estimates are subject to significant variability due to factors, such as claim settlement patterns, litigation trends, and the extended period of time in which a construction defect claim might be made after the closing of a home. We offer a one-year limited warranty to cover various defects in workmanship or materials, a two-year limited warranty on certain systems (such as electrical or cooling systems), and a ten-year limited warranty on structural defects. In addition, any outstanding warranties which were offered by our acquired companies are also honored. Warranty reserves are established as homes close in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. Our warranty is not considered a separate performance obligation in the sales arrangement since it is not priced apart from the home; therefore, it is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, which states that warranties that are not separately priced are generally accounted for by accruing the estimated costs to fulfill the warranty obligation. The amount of revenue related to the product is recognized in full upon the delivery of the home if all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. As a result, we accrue the estimated costs to fulfill the warranty obligation at the time a home closes, as a component of Cost of home closings on the Consolidated statements of operations. Our loss reserves for self-insured claims insured by Beneva are based on factors that include an actuarial study for structural, historical and anticipated claims, trends related to similar product types, number of home closings, and geographical areas. We also provide third-party warranty coverage on homes where required by FHA or VA lenders. We regularly review the reasonableness and adequacy of our reserves and make adjustments to the balance of the preexisting reserves to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. Self-insurance and warranty reserves are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheets. We have not made any material changes in our methodology or significant assumptions used to establish our warranty reserves during these periods. In the event of a specific claim such as a construction defect for a community, we adjust our reserves accordingly, taking into consideration items such as the number of homes affected, the costs associated with each repair and the effectiveness of the repairs. Due to the degree of judgment required in making these estimates and the inherent uncertainty in potential outcomes, it is reasonably possible that actual costs could differ from those recorded and such differences could be material, resulting in a change in future estimated reserves.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 36 ITEM 7 | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS economic environment of the land, entitlement status of the land held by the unconsolidated entity, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future cash flows and relationships with the other partners. If we believe that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts, lot option contracts and land banking arrangements in order to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Such contracts enable us to control significant lot positions with a minimal initial capital investment and substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. In accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, we have concluded that when we enter into an option or purchase agreement to acquire land or lots and pay a non-refundable deposit, a variable interest entity ("VIE") may be created because we are deemed to have provided subordinated financial support that will absorb some or all of an entity's expected losses, or benefit from rights to residual returns, if they occur. If we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we consolidate the VIE in our Consolidated financial statements and reflect such assets and liabilities as Consolidated real estate not owned and Liabilities attributable to consolidated real estate not owned, respectively, in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Factors Affecting Comparability of Results For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 we recognized $5.0 million, $11.8 million, and $24.9 million in inventory impairment charges. Impairment charges are recorded to Cost of home closings on the Consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $17.8 million in impairment charges relating to our Urban Form properties. Impairment charges relating to our Urban Form properties are recorded to Amenity and other expenses on the Consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, no such impairment charges were incurred. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, our legal accruals were $49.1 million and $26.2 million, respectively. Legal expenses and settlements are recorded to Other expense, net on the Consolidated statements of operations. No substantial charges were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 we recognized $21.3 million, $17.1 million, and $4.8 million in insurance losses relating to Beneva Indemnity Company ("Beneva"), respectively. Such losses are included in Other expense, net on the Consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we recognized $9.5 million, $4.2 million, and $33.2 million in pre-acquisition abandonment charges, respectively. These charges are recorded to Other expense, net on the Consolidated statements of operations.

Total agency97 %96 % Non-agency3 %4 % Total funded originations100 %100 % Total financial services revenue increased by 24.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the prior year. The increase in total financial services revenue was a result of an increase in mortgage loan originations as well as the revenue earned on the sale of loans from a favorable operating environment.

General Overview Our principal business is residential homebuilding and the development of lifestyle communities with operations across 12 states. We provide a collection of homes across a wide range of price points to appeal to a variety of consumer groups. We design, build and sell single and multi-family detached and attached homes in traditionally high growth markets for entry-level, move-up, and resort lifestyle buyers. Our homebuilding segments operate under the Taylor Morrison and Esplanade brand names. We also have a "Build-to-Rent" homebuilding business which operates under the Yardly brand name. In addition, we provide financial services to customers through our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, TMHF, title services through our wholly owned title services subsidiary, Inspired Title, and homeowner's insurance policies through our insurance agency, TMIS. For reporting purposes, Taylor Morrison Home Corporation ("TMHC") and Taylor Morrison Communities, Inc. ("TM Communities") are substantially similar, with no material differences. Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component, all of which are organized as four operating segments: East, Central, West and Financial Services, as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements as of December 31, 2025 Investments in Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures or Unconsolidated Entities We participate in strategic land development and homebuilding joint ventures with related and unrelated third parties. Our participation with these entities, in some instances, enables us to acquire land to which we could not otherwise obtain access, or could not obtain access on terms that are as favorable. Our partners in these joint ventures historically have been land owners/developers, other homebuilders and financial or strategic partners. Joint ventures with land owners/developers have given us access to sites owned or controlled by our partners. Joint ventures with other homebuilders have provided us with the ability to bid jointly with our partners for large or expensive land parcels. Joint ventures with financial or strategic partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with access to our partners' capital.

Financial Services Revenue Mortgage operations and hedging activity related to financial services are not within the scope of Topic 606. Generally, the loans TMHF originates are sold to third-party investors within a short period of time, on a non-recourse basis. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgages are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 860-20, Sales of Financial Assets. TMHF generally does not have continuing involvement with the transferred assets; therefore, we derecognize the mortgage loans at time of sale, based on the difference between the selling price and carrying value of the related loans upon sale,

Land Option Contracts and Land Banking Agreements We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including land option contracts and land banking arrangements) for the purchase, development, and sale of real estate in our routine business. We have a number of land purchase option contracts and land banking agreements, generally through cash deposits, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property and the property owners and their creditors generally have no recourse to the Company. Our exposure with respect to such contracts is generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits. The aggregate purchase price for assets under these contracts was $3.4 billion at December 31, 2025 and $1.9 billion at December 31, 2024.

Also included in Financial services revenue/expenses is the realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging instruments. ASC Topic 815-25, Derivatives and Hedging, requires that all hedging instruments be recognized as assets or liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. We do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting; therefore, we account for these instruments as free-standing derivatives, with changes in fair value recognized in Financial services revenue/expenses on the Consolidated statement of operations in the period in which they occur.

Real Estate Inventory Valuation and Costing Inventory consists of raw land, land under development, homes under construction, completed homes, and model homes, all of which are stated at cost. In addition to direct carrying costs, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, and related development costs that benefit the entire community, such as field construction supervision and related direct overhead. Vertical construction costs are accumulated and charged to Cost of home closings at the time of home closings when revenue is recognized using the specific identification method. Land acquisition, development, interest, and real estate taxes are capitalized and allocated generally using the relative sales value method. Generally, all overhead costs relating to purchasing, vertical construction, and construction utilities are considered overhead costs and are allocated on a per unit basis. These costs are capitalized to inventory beginning with the start of development through construction completion. Changes in estimated costs to be incurred in a community are generally allocated to the remaining project on a prospective basis. The life cycle of the community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of unentitled or entitled land, continuing through the land development phase and concluding with the sale, construction and delivery of homes. Actual community lives will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate and whether we purchased the property as raw land or finished lots. We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to Cost of home closings when the related inventory is charged to Cost of home closings. We assess the recoverability of our inventory in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment ("ASC 360"). We review our real estate inventory for indicators of impairment on a community-level basis during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for a community, an undiscounted cash flow analysis is generally prepared to determine if the carrying value of the assets in that community exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows. Generally, if the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted cash flows, the assets are potentially impaired, requiring a fair value analysis. Our determination of fair value is primarily based on a discounted cash flow model which includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. However, in certain circumstances, fair value can also be determined through other methods, such as appraisals, contractual purchase offers, and other third-party opinions of value. Changes in these expectations may lead to a change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our assumptions. In certain cases, we may elect to cease development and/or marketing of an existing community if we believe the economic performance of the community would be maximized by deferring development for a period of time to allow for market conditions to improve. We refer to such communities as long-term strategic assets. The decision may be based on financial and/or operational metrics as determined by us. For those communities that have been temporarily closed or development has been discontinued, we do not allocate or capitalize interest or other costs to the community's inventory until activity resumes and such costs are expensed as incurred. If we decide to cease development, we will evaluate the project for impairment and discontinue future development and marketing activity until such a time when we believe that market conditions have improved and positive economic performance can be achieved. Our assessment of the carrying value of our long-term strategic assets typically includes subjective estimates of future performance, including the timing of when development will recommence, the type of product to be offered, and the margin to be realized. In the future, some of these inactive communities may be re-opened while others may be sold. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land banking agreements with various sellers to acquire lots. As a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources, we may transfer our right under certain specific performance agreements, for land we own, to entities owned by third parties ("land banking arrangements"). These entities use equity contributions from their owners and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land. We incur interest expense and fees on these arrangements. We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods with the remainder expensed and included in Interest expense/(income), net on the Consolidated statements of operations. These lots are considered controlled, however we are not legally obligated to purchase lots under these agreements and would forfeit any existing deposits and could be subject to financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have an ownership interest in these entities or title to their assets and do not guarantee their liabilities. As such, these entities are not consolidated. These land banking arrangements help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings which are not included on the Consolidated balance sheets. In some locations where we act as a developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land. Land is

Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share and adjusted income before income taxes and related margin are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the net income/(loss) available to the Company excluding, to the extent applicable in a given period, the impact of real estate and inventory impairment charges, impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, unique and unusual warranty charges, gains/losses on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net, and legal reserves or settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business and in the case of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, the tax impact due to such items.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 38 ITEM 7 | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS relate to the same claim and are discussed in Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that measure performance by adjusting net income before allocation to non-controlling interests to exclude, as applicable, interest expense/(income), net, amortization of capitalized interest, income provisions, depreciation and amortization to calculate EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes non-cash compensation expense, if any, real estate and inventory impairment charges, impairment of investments in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, unique and unusual warranty charges, gains/losses on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net and legal reserves or settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business, in each case, as applicable in a given period. Net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, plus unamortized debt issuance cost/(premium), net, and less mortgage warehouse borrowings, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents ("net homebuilding debt"), by (ii) total capitalization (the sum of net homebuilding debt and total stockholders' equity). Adjusted home closings gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure based on GAAP home closings gross margin (which is inclusive of capitalized interest), excluding inventory impairment charges and unique and unusual warranty charges. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis, as well as the performance of our segments, and to set targets for performance-based compensation. We also use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio as an indicator of overall financial leverage and to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry. In the future, we may include additional adjustments in the above-described non-GAAP financial measures to the extent we deem them appropriate and useful to management and investors. We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, are useful for investors in order to allow them to evaluate our operations without the effects of various items we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance and also because such metrics assist both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted EBITDA also provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. Because we use the net homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry, we believe this measure is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason. We believe that adjusted home closings gross margin is useful to investors because it allows investors to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the varying effects of items or transactions we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures of our operating performance or liquidity. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry may report similar information, their definitions may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures before comparing their measures to ours. A reconciliation of adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, adjusted home closings gross margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization to the comparable GAAP measures follows. For purposes of our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures for the year ended December 31, 2024, such measures have been recast to include certain adjustments being presented in the year ended December 31, 2025 that were previously deemed immaterial in the prior period.

Some of the sales contracts in our sales order backlog are subject to contingencies including mortgage loan approval and buyers selling their existing homes, which can result in future cancellations. Total backlog units and total sales value decreased by 40.6% and 41.8%, respectively, at December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. Overall, we had fewer net sales orders and more quick move-in homes which sold and closed during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, which contributed to the decrease in company-wide sales order backlog. All of our operating segments improved construction cycle times in the year ended December 31, 2025 which further contributed to the decrease in sales order backlog.

Total$36,944 $81,417 $(44,473) We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes. However, in some locations where we act as a developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land or if we determine certain properties no longer fit our strategic plans. Land and lot sales occur at various intervals and varying degrees of profitability. Therefore, the revenue and gross margin from land closings will fluctuate from period to period, depending on market conditions and opportunities. Land closings revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased primarily due to the change in the East region. In the prior year, we sold various lots in our Florida market for a total of $27.9 million, but did not have similar sales in the current year.

Adjusted home closings gross margin decreased 150 basis points to 23.0% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 24.5% in the prior year. Home closings gross margin decreased in the East and Central regions primarily as a result of closing product mix. The East region was also negatively impacted by impairment and increased warranty charges. In addition, a decrease in average selling prices due to an increase in discounts, partially offset by increases in lot premium and option revenue, further contributed to the changes in home closings gross margin for the East and Central regions. The increase in the West region was primarily due to closing product mix. In addition, the West region was negatively impacted by an impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). The standard's core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Sales, Commissions and Other Marketing Costs Sales, commissions and other marketing costs, as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, marginally increased to 6.0% from 5.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year. The relatively consistent results are primarily driven by leverage in controllable sales and marketing costs.

General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, decreased to 3.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 4.0% for the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in variable compensation-related expenses.

Interest Expense, net Interest expense, net was $47.0 million and $13.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in interest expense, net was primarily due to an increase in the amount of non-capitalizable interest expense relating to our land banking arrangements as well as a decrease in interest income earned on our outstanding cash

Home and Land Closings Revenue Under ASC 606, the following steps are applied to determine home closings revenue and land closings revenue recognition: (1) identify the contract(s) with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation(s) are satisfied. Our home sales transactions have one contract, with one performance obligation, with each customer to build and deliver a home (or develop and deliver land). Based on the application of the five steps, the following summarizes the timing and manner of home and land closings revenue: •Revenue from home closings is recognized when the buyer has made the required minimum down payment, obtained necessary financing, the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow. Revenue is reported net of any discounts and incentives. •Revenue from land closings is recognized when a significant down payment is received, title passes and collectability of the receivable, if any, is reasonably assured, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow. From time to time we may enter into land or other asset sales that require recognition of revenue over time, however as of December 31, 2025, no such transactions have been material.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity We finance our operations through the following: •Cash generated from operations; •Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility; •Various series of senior notes; •Mortgage warehouse facilities;

Beyond the next twelve months, our primary demand for funds will be for payments of our long-term debt as it becomes due, land purchases, lot development, home and amenity construction, long-term capital investments, investments in our joint ventures, payments of ongoing operating expenses, and repurchases of common stock. We believe we will generate sufficient cash from our operations to meet the demands for such funds, however we may also access the capital markets to obtain additional liquidity through debt and equity offerings or refinance debt to secure capital for such long-term demands. As part of our operations, we may from time to time purchase our outstanding debt or equity through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Purchases or retirements of debt and/or purchases of equity, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Homebuilding is subject to home warranty and construction defect claims in the ordinary course of business that can lead to significant costs for us. As a homebuilder, we are subject to home warranty and construction defect claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Construction defects may occur on projects and developments and may arise a significant period of time after completion. Unexpected expenditures attributable to defects or previously unknown sub-surface conditions arising on a development project may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We may not be able to use certain deferred tax assets, which may result in our having to pay substantial taxes. We have significant deferred tax assets, including net operating losses that could be used to offset earnings and reduce the amount of taxes we are required to pay. Our ability to use our net operating losses is dependent on a number of factors, including applicable rules relating to the permitted carry back period for offsetting certain net operating losses against prior period earnings and the timing and amount of future taxable income. If we are unable to use our net operating losses, we may have to record charges to reduce our deferred tax assets, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. We have significant operations in certain geographic areas, which subjects us to an increased risk of lost revenue or decreases in the market value of our land and homes in these regions from factors which may affect any of these regions. We currently operate in several states with a concentration in the Western United States and a significant presence in California. Negative factors affecting one or a number of the geographic regions at the same time could result in a relatively greater impact on our results of operations than they might have on other companies that have a more diversified portfolio of operations. To the extent that regions in which our business is concentrated are impacted by an adverse event, we could be disproportionately affected compared to companies whose operations are less geographically concentrated.

Information technology failures and data security breaches could harm our business. We use information technology and other computer resources to carry out important operational and marketing activities as well as maintain our business records, including information provided by our customers. Many of these resources are provided to us and/or maintained on our behalf by third-party service providers pursuant to agreements that specify certain security and service level standards. Our ability to conduct our business may be impaired if these resources are compromised, degraded, damaged or fail, whether due to a virus or other harmful circumstance, intentional penetration or disruption of our information technology resources by a third party, natural disaster, hardware or software corruption, failure or error (including a failure of security controls incorporated into or applied to such hardware or software), telecommunications system failure, service provider error or failure, intentional or unintentional personnel actions (including the failure to follow our security protocols), or lost connectivity to our networked resources. A significant and extended disruption in the functioning of these resources could impair our operations, damage our reputation, expose us to significant costs to restore these networked resources and cause us to lose customers, sales and revenue. Privacy, security, and compliance concerns have continued to increase as technology has evolved, including through the use of artificial intelligence. As part of our normal business activities, we collect and store certain confidential information, including personal information of homebuyers/borrowers and information about employees, vendors and suppliers. While we have implemented systems and processes intended to secure our information technology systems and prevent unauthorized access to or loss of sensitive, confidential and personal data, including through the use of encryption and authentication technologies, and have increased our monitoring capabilities to enhance early detection and rapid response to potential security anomalies, and, to date, have not had a significant cybersecurity breach or attack that had, or is likely to have, a material impact on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, our security measures may not be sufficient for all possible occurrences and may be vulnerable to hacking (including through the use of artificial intelligence), employee error, malfeasance (including through phishing attempts and ransomware attacks), system error, faulty password management or other irregularities. Further, development and maintenance of these security measures are costly and continue to increase and require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become increasingly sophisticated. If we fail to maintain the security of the data we are required to protect, or if we were to be subject to a material successful cyber intrusion, such occurrence could result in business disruption, damage to our reputation, financial obligations to third parties, fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings and private litigation with

A major health and safety incident relating to our business could be costly in terms of potential liabilities and reputational damage. Building sites are inherently dangerous and pose certain inherent health and safety risks to construction workers and other persons on the site. Due to health and safety regulatory requirements and the number of projects we work on, health and safety performance is critical to the success of all areas of our business. Any failure in health and safety performance may result in penalties for non-compliance with relevant regulatory requirements, and a failure that results in a major or significant health and safety incident is likely to be costly in terms of potential liabilities incurred as a result. Such a failure could generate significant negative publicity and have a corresponding impact on our reputation, our relationships with relevant regulatory agencies or governmental authorities, and our ability to attract customers and employees, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Legal and regulatory risks New or changing government regulations and legal challenges may delay the start or completion of our communities, increase our expenses or limit our homebuilding or other activities, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. The approval of numerous governmental authorities must be obtained in connection with our development and construction activities, and these governmental authorities often have broad discretion in exercising their approval authority. We incur substantial costs related to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Any increase in legal and regulatory requirements may cause us to incur substantial additional costs, or in some cases cause us to determine that a property is not feasible for development. Various local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning building, health and safety, site and building design, environment, zoning, subcontracting, sales and similar matters apply to and/or affect the housing industry. In addition, our ability to obtain or renew permits or approvals and the continued effectiveness of permits already granted or approvals already obtained depends on factors beyond our control, such as changes in federal, state and local policies, rules and regulations and their interpretations and application. Furthermore, we are also subject to various fees and charges of government authorities designed to defray the cost of providing certain governmental services and improvements. For example, local and state governments have broad discretion regarding the imposition of development fees for projects under their jurisdictions, as well as requiring concessions or that the builder construct certain improvements to public places such as parks and streets, or fund schools. Further, government agencies routinely initiate audits, reviews or investigations of our business practices to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, which can cause us to incur costs or create other disruptions in our business that can be significant. Further, we may experience delays and increased expenses as a result of legal challenges to our proposed communities, whether brought by governmental authorities or private parties. We have faced, and may face in the future, substantial damages or be enjoined from pursuing important activities as a result of existing or future litigation, arbitration or other claims. We are involved in various litigation and legal claims, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. For example, in 2023 we paid $64.7 million resulting from a judgment in a case in Florida relating to our collection of club membership fees in connection with the use of our club amenities. See Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies - Legal Proceedings in the Notes to the Consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for additional information. We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, we generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution, the related timing or the amount of any eventual loss. To the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant. Unfavorable litigation, arbitration or claims could also generate negative publicity in various media outlets that could be detrimental to our reputation.

Utility and resource shortages or rate fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our operations. Several of the markets in which we operate have historically been subject to utility and resource constraints, including significant changes to the availability and cost of electricity and water. Shortages of utility resources in our markets, particularly of water, may make it more difficult for us to obtain regulatory approval of new developments and have other adverse implications. For example, certain areas in which we operate, particularly the Western United States, have experienced and continue to experience severe drought conditions. In response to these conditions, government officials often take a number of steps to preserve potable water supplies. To address a state mandate and their own available potable water supplies, local water agencies/suppliers could potentially: restrict, delay the issuance of, or proscribe new water connection permits for homes; increase the costs for securing such permits, either directly or by requiring participation in impact mitigation programs; adopt higher efficiency requirements for water-using appliances or fixtures; limit or ban the use of water for construction activities; impose requirements as to the types of allowed plant vegetation or irrigation for outdoor landscaping that are less desired by consumers; and/or impose fines and penalties for noncompliance with any such measures. These local water agencies/suppliers could also increase rates and charges to residential users for the water they use, potentially increasing the cost of homeownership. Any of the foregoing, individually or collectively, could adversely affect the regional economies in which we operate, which may limit, impair or delay our ability to acquire and develop land and/or build and deliver homes, increase our production costs or reduce demand for our homes, thereby negatively affecting our business and results of operations.

Our financial services and title services businesses may be adversely affected by changes in governmental regulation. Changes in governmental regulation with respect to mortgage lenders and title service providers could adversely affect the financial results of this portion of our business. Our financial services businesses are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, which, among other things: prohibit discrimination and establish underwriting guidelines; provide for audits and inspections; require appraisals and/or credit reports on prospective borrowers and disclosure of certain information concerning credit and settlement costs; establish maximum loan amounts; prohibit predatory lending practices; and regulate the referral of business to affiliated entities. In addition, our title insurance operations are also subject to applicable insurance and banking laws and regulations as well as government audits, examinations and investigations, all of which may limit our ability to provide title services to potential purchasers. The regulatory environment for mortgage lending is complex and ever changing and has led to an increase in the number of audits, examinations and investigations in the industry. The 2008 housing downturn resulted in numerous changes in the regulatory framework of the financial services industry. Any changes or new enactments could result in more stringent compliance standards, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, if we are unable to originate mortgages for any reason going forward, our customers could experience mortgage loan funding issues, which could have a material impact on our homebuilding business and our results of operations.

•limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and •placing us at a competitive disadvantage to less leveraged competitors. We cannot ensure that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us through capital markets financings or under our Revolving Credit Facility or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, on or before its maturity. We cannot ensure that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness in order to finance our operations, to fund acquisitions, or to repay existing indebtedness. If we cannot service our indebtedness, we may have to take actions such as selling assets, seeking additional debt or equity or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances. We cannot ensure that any such actions, if necessary, could be effected on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our Revolving Credit Facility and other indebtedness may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies. The agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility limits our ability, and the terms of any future indebtedness may prohibit or limit our ability, among other things, to: •incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; •make certain loans or investments; •repurchase equity or subordinated indebtedness; •pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments;

Risks related to our organization and structure Provisions in our charter and by-laws and provisions of Delaware law may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third party, which might diminish the value of our common stock. Provisions in our debt agreements may also require an acquirer to refinance our outstanding indebtedness if a change of control occurs. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated by-laws contain certain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our management or control over us that stockholders may consider favorable, including the following: •the sole ability of the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board of Directors; •advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations; •limitations on the ability of stockholders to call special meetings and to take action by written consent; •in certain cases, the approval of holders of at least three-fourths of the shares entitled to vote generally on the making, alteration, amendment or repeal of our certificate of incorporation or by-laws will be required to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws, or amend or repeal certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation; and •the ability of our Board of Directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used, among other things, to institute a rights plan that would have the effect of significantly diluting the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, likely preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our Board of Directors. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may affect the ability of an "interested stockholder" to engage in certain business combinations for a period of three years following the time that the stockholder becomes an "interested stockholder." We have elected in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation not to be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Nevertheless, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that have the same effect as Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The existence of the foregoing provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition. Under our Revolving Credit Facility, a change of control would be an event of default, which could therefore require a third-party acquirer to obtain a facility to refinance any outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the indentures governing our senior notes, if a change of control (as defined in the indentures governing our senior notes) were to occur, we would be required to make offers to repurchase all of our senior notes at a price equal to 101% of their

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 18 ITEM 1A | RISK FACTORS carrying costs can be significant and can result in reduced margins or losses in a poorly performing community or market. Further, if we were required to record a significant inventory impairment, it could negatively affect our reported earnings and negatively impact the market perception of our business. Access to capital could be hindered if land banks are not able to raise necessary investor funds or if we are unable to create and maintain relationships with land banks. As part of our land acquisition strategy, we have developed and expanded our relationships with land bank partners with a view toward using land banks to gain future access to land without taking ownership. If we are unable to identify or to develop and maintain the necessary relationships with suitable land banks in the future, we will not be able to fully implement our land-light business strategy. Most land banks are funds that use financial investor capital to finance land acquisitions. If returns to investors in land banks are not sufficient to attract investor funds and land banks are not able to identify alternative sources of funding, we would no longer have access to land banks and instead might have to purchase our land directly from landowners. This would significantly impair our ability to carry out our strategy of reducing our inventory of owned land.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 19 ITEM 1A | RISK FACTORS We have significant operations in certain geographic areas, which subjects us to an increased risk of lost revenue or decreases in the market value of our land and homes in these regions from factors which may affect any of these regions. We currently operate in several states with a concentration in the Western United States and a significant presence in California. Negative factors affecting one or a number of the geographic regions at the same time could result in a relatively greater impact on our results of operations than they might have on other companies that have a more diversified portfolio of operations. To the extent that regions in which our business is concentrated are impacted by an adverse event, we could be disproportionately affected compared to companies whose operations are less geographically concentrated. We participate in certain unconsolidated joint ventures, including those in which we do not have a controlling interest, where we may be adversely impacted by the failure of the unconsolidated joint venture or the other partners in the unconsolidated joint venture to fulfill their obligations. We have investments in and commitments to certain unconsolidated joint ventures with related and unrelated strategic partners generally involved in real estate development, homebuilding, Build-to-Rent, and/or mortgage lending activities. For example, in April 2022, we established a joint venture with Värde Partners ("Värde"), a leading global alternative investment firm, to develop rental properties as a part of our Build-To-Rent program. The venture includes $850 million in equity commitments, funded 60 percent by Värde and 40 percent by the Company. The venture provides Värde with the exclusive opportunity to invest in the acquisition and development of Build-To-Rent projects identified by the Company that meet the venture's investment guidelines. At December 31, 2024, our total investments in unconsolidated entities was $439.7 million. To finance our joint ventures, our unconsolidated joint ventures often obtain loans from third-party lenders that are secured by the unconsolidated joint venture's assets. To the extent any of our joint ventures default on obligations secured by the assets of such joint venture, such assets could be forfeited to third-party lenders. We have provided non-recourse carve-out guarantees to certain third-party lenders to our unconsolidated joint ventures (i.e., guarantees of losses suffered by the lender in the event that the borrowing entity or its equity owners engage in certain conduct, such as fraud, misappropriation of funds, unauthorized transfers of the collateral or equity interests in the borrowing entity, or the borrowing entity commences a voluntary bankruptcy case or violates environmental law, or hazardous materials are located on the property, or under other circumstances provided for in such guarantee or indemnity). In the future, we may provide other guarantees and indemnities to such lenders, including secured guarantees, in which case we may have increased liability in the event that a joint venture defaults on its obligations to a third party. If the other partners in our unconsolidated joint ventures do not cooperate or fulfill their contractual obligations to the joint venture due to their financial condition, strategic business interests (which may be contrary to ours), or otherwise, we may be required to spend additional resources (including payments under the guarantees we have provided to the unconsolidated joint ventures' lenders) or suffer losses, each of which could be significant. Moreover, our ability to recoup such expenditures and losses by exercising remedies against such partners may be limited due to the contractual terms of the joint venture agreement, potential legal defenses they may have, their respective financial condition and other circumstances. Furthermore, because we lack a controlling interest in our unconsolidated joint ventures we cannot exercise sole decision-making authority, which could create the potential risk of impasses on decisions and prevent the joint venture from taking, or not taking, actions that we believe may be in our best interests. In addition, as our relationships with our partners are contractual in nature and may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the applicable joint venture agreements, including buy-sell provisions, we may not continue to own or operate the interests or assets underlying such relationship or may need to purchase additional interests or assets in the venture to continue ownership. In the event a joint venture is terminated or dissolved, we could also be exposed to lawsuits and legal costs.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 20 ITEM 1A | RISK FACTORS monitoring capabilities to enhance early detection and rapid response to potential security anomalies, and, to date, have not had a significant cybersecurity breach or attack that had, or is likely to have, a material impact on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, our security measures may not be sufficient for all possible occurrences and may be vulnerable to hacking (including through the use of artificial intelligence), employee error, malfeasance (including through phishing attempts and ransomware attacks), system error, faulty password management or other irregularities. Further, development and maintenance of these security measures are costly and continue to increase and require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become increasingly sophisticated. If we fail to maintain the security of the data we are required to protect, or if we were to be subject to a material successful cyber intrusion, such occurrences could result in business disruption, damage to our reputation, financial obligations to third parties, fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings and private litigation with potentially large remediation and related costs, and also in deterioration in customers' confidence in us and other competitive disadvantages, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Additionally, state governments, most notably California, Nevada, Texas and Colorado, have enacted or enhanced their data privacy regulations, and other governments are considering establishing similar or stronger protections. These regulations impose certain obligations for securing, and potentially removing, specified personal information in our systems, and for apprising individuals of the information we have collected about them. We have incurred costs in an effort to comply with these data privacy risks and requirements, and our costs may increase significantly as such risks become increasingly complex or if new or changing regulations are enacted. For example, in November 2020, California voters approved Proposition 24 (Consumer Personal Information Law and Agency Initiative), which became effective as of January 1, 2023 and has increased data privacy requirements for our business. Despite our efforts, any noncompliance could result in our incurring substantial penalties and reputational damage. We may incur a variety of costs to engage in future growth or expansion of our operations or acquisitions of businesses, and the anticipated benefits may never be realized. As a part of our business strategy, we may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, businesses. Any future acquisitions, investments and/or disposals are accompanied by risks such as: •difficulties in assimilating the operations and personnel of acquired companies or businesses; •diversion of our management's attention from ongoing business concerns; •our potential inability to maximize our financial and strategic position through the successful incorporation or disposition of operations; •significant liabilities may not be identified in due diligence or may come to light after the expiry of warranty or indemnity periods;

•difficulties in the implementation of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; and •impairment of existing relationships with employees, contractors, suppliers and customers as a result of the integration of new management personnel and cost-saving initiatives. Acquisitions can result in dilution to existing stockholders if we issue our common stock as consideration, or reduce our liquidity if we fund them with cash. In addition, acquisitions can expose us to valuation risks, including the risk of writing off goodwill or impairing inventory and other assets related to such acquisitions. The risk of goodwill and asset impairments will increase during a cyclical housing downturn when our profitability may decline. Dispositions have their own risks associated with the separation of operations and personnel, the potential provision of transition services and the allocation of management resources. Dispositions may also result in lost synergies that could negatively impact our balance sheet, statement of operations and cash flows. Additionally, while we would seek to limit our ongoing exposure, for example, through liability caps and time limits on warranties and indemnities, some warranties and indemnities may give rise to unexpected and significant liabilities. Any claims arising in the future may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. We may not able to manage the risks associated with these transactions and the effects of such transactions, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Ownership or occupation of land and the use of hazardous materials carries potential environmental risks and liabilities. We are subject to a variety of local, state and federal statutes, rules and regulations concerning land use and the protection of health, safety and the environment, including those governing the discharge of pollutants to water and air, storm water run-off, the presence and handling of (and exposure to) asbestos, and other hazardous materials, and the cleanup of contaminated structures and properties. Further, some environmental laws (including many addressing releases of hazardous substances) impose strict liability, which means that we may be held liable for environmental conditions on property we own, or previously owned, which we did not create or know about, or which resulted from conduct that was lawful. Contamination or other environmental conditions at or in the vicinity of our developments could also result in claims against us for personal injury, property damage or other losses. Such liabilities, and the costs of defending against such claims, may be substantial, and insurance coverage may be limited or non-existent. The presence of such contamination or other environmental conditions at or in the vicinity of our properties, or the failure to remediate such conditions properly, may also adversely affect our ability to sell the affected land or to borrow using it as security. Environmental impacts from historical activities have been identified at some of the projects we have developed in the past and additional projects may be located on land that may have been contaminated by previous use. Negative publicity or poor relations with the residents of our communities could negatively impact sales, which could cause our revenues or results of operations to decline. Unfavorable media or investor and analyst reports related to our industry, company, brands, marketing, leadership, personnel, operations, business performance, or prospects may affect our stock price and the performance of our business, regardless of its accuracy or inaccuracy. Our success in maintaining, extending and expanding our brand image depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment. Adverse publicity or negative commentary on social media outlets, such as blogs, websites or newsletters, could hurt operating results, as consumers might avoid or protest brands that receive bad press or negative reviews. Customers and other interested parties could act on such information without further investigation and without regard to its accuracy. Accordingly, we could suffer immediate harm without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction. In addition, we can be affected by poor relations with the residents of communities we develop because these residents sometimes look to us to resolve issues or disputes that may arise in connection with the operation or development of their communities. Efforts made by us to resolve these issues or disputes could be deemed unsatisfactory by the affected residents and subsequent actions by these residents could disrupt sales or adversely affect our reputation. In addition, we could decide or be required to make material expenditures related to the settlement of such issues or disputes or to modify our community development plans, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Increases in interest rates or government fees could prevent potential customers from buying our homes and adversely affect our business or financial results. Increases in interest rates as a result of changes to monetary policy could significantly increase the costs of owning a home or result in existing homeowners with low interest rates choosing to remain in their current homes rather than purchase a new home in a higher interest rate environment. This, in turn, could adversely impact demand for, and sales prices of, homes and the ability of potential customers to obtain financing and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Interest rates had been at historic lows for several years prior to 2022, which had made the homes we sell more affordable. During 2020 and 2021, the Federal Reserve took several steps to protect the economy from the impact of COVID-19, including reducing interest rates to new historic lows. However, in reaction to increasing inflation, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates 11 times from 2022 to 2024, which caused buyer apprehension and affordability concerns, initially resulting in an increase in cancellations and a negative impact on our net sales orders. To mitigate these impacts we began to adjust pricing, primarily by offering finance incentives, as well as home discounts and other pricing reductions during the second half of 2022. These pricing adjustments and incentives helped drive an increase in sales orders and a gradual normalization in cancellations beginning in 2023. However, there is no guarantee that these adjustments will be as effective in the future. Rising interest rates may also negatively impact demand for mortgage financing, which may result in lower home mortgage originations for our TMHF business. The Federal Reserve began lowering interest rates in 2024 and has indicated that it may further lower interest rates in 2025. Interest rates continue to remain elevated compared to prior years and there is no guarantee that the Federal Reserve will take action to reduce rates. Any increases in interest rates could negatively affect mortgage rates, real estate property values, sales orders and increase cancellations, which could adversely affect our business.

The prices of our mortgages could be adversely affected if we lose any of our important commercial relationships. We have longstanding relationships with members of the lender community from which our borrowers benefit. TMHF plans to continue with these relationships and use the correspondent lender platform as a part of its operational plan. While we believe that our current commercial relationships are strong, if our relationship with any one or more of those banks deteriorates or if one or more of those banks decide to renegotiate or terminate existing agreements or otherwise exit the market, TMHF may be required to increase the price of our products, or modify the range of products TMHF offers, which could cause us to lose customers who may choose other providers based solely on price or fees, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 25 ITEM 1A | RISK FACTORS such as selling assets, seeking additional debt or equity or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances. We cannot ensure that any such actions, if necessary, could be effected on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our Revolving Credit Facility and other indebtedness may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies. The agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility limits our ability, and the terms of any future indebtedness may prohibit or limit our ability, among other things, to: •incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; •make certain investments; •repurchase equity or subordinated indebtedness; •pay dividends or make distributions on our capital stock; •sell assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; •agree to restrictions on distributions, transfers or dividends affecting our restricted subsidiaries; •consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; •enter into transactions with our affiliates;

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 26 ITEM 1A | RISK FACTORS of significantly diluting the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, likely preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our Board of Directors. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may affect the ability of an "interested stockholder" to engage in certain business combinations for a period of three years following the time that the stockholder becomes an "interested stockholder." We have elected in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation not to be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Nevertheless, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that have the same effect as Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The existence of the foregoing provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition. Under our Revolving Credit Facility, a change of control would be an event of default, which could therefore require a third-party acquirer to obtain a facility to refinance any outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the indentures governing our Senior Notes, if a change of control were to occur, we would be required to make offers to repurchase all of our senior notes at a price equal to 101% of their respective principal amounts. These change of control provisions in our existing debt agreements may also delay or diminish the value of an acquisition by a third party. Our charter provides to the fullest extent permitted by law that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for certain legal actions between the Company and our stockholders, which could increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum viewed by stockholders as more favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees. Our charter provides to the fullest extent permitted by law that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or stockholders, (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, or (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision may increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us or our directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions. The exclusive forum provision in our charter will not preclude or contract the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction for actions brought under the federal securities laws including the Exchange Act or the Securities Act or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

•energy prices; and •the availability of developable land in our markets and in the United States generally. Adverse changes in these conditions may affect our business nationally or may be more prevalent or concentrated in particular regions or localities in which we operate, which effects may be magnified where we have significant operations. Additionally, governmental action and legislation related to economic stimulus, taxation, tariffs, housing affordability, spending levels and borrowing limits, interest rates, immigration and immigration enforcement, as well as political debate, conflicts and compromises related to such actions, may negatively impact the financial markets and consumer confidence and spending, which could adversely impact the U.S. economy and the housing market. Any deterioration or significant uncertainty in economic or political conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business. These adverse changes in economic, political and other conditions can cause mortgage rates to rise, demand and prices for our homes to fall or cause us to take longer to build our homes and make it more costly for us to do so. We may not be able to recover these increased costs by raising prices because of weak market conditions and because the price of each home we sell is usually set several months before the home is delivered, as many customers sign their home purchase contracts before construction begins. The potential difficulties described above could impact our customers' ability to obtain suitable financing and cause some homebuyers to cancel or refuse to honor their home purchase contracts altogether.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 16 ITEM 1A | RISK FACTORS required mortgage payments or qualifying for new mortgage financing. Therefore, any increase in unemployment or underemployment may lead to an increase in the number of loan delinquencies and property repossessions and have an adverse impact on us both by reducing demand for the homes we build and by increasing the supply of homes for sale.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate because of the seasonal nature of our business and other factors. Our quarterly operating results generally fluctuate by season as a result of a variety of factors such as the timing of home deliveries and land sales, the changing composition and mix of our asset portfolio-, and weather-related issues. Weather-related problems, typically in the fall, late winter and early spring, may delay starts or closings and increase costs and thus reduce profitability. In some cases, we may not be able to recapture increased costs by raising prices. In addition, deliveries may be staggered over different periods of the year and may be concentrated in particular quarters. Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate because of these factors. See Item 1-Business-Seasonality. Unusual weather events or natural disasters as well as the increased focus by investors and other stakeholders on sustainability issues, could increase our costs, damage our reputation and/or otherwise adversely impact our operations or stock price. Some of our business is in areas that are particularly vulnerable to severe weather events, such as from the increased frequency and severity of wildfires, storms, flooding, tornados, severe cold and drought. For example, in recent years, hurricanes, winter storms and unseasonably cold weather in certain regions have left homeowners without electricity and impacted utility prices. Such severe weather events can delay home construction, increase costs by damaging inventories, reduce the availability of building materials, and increase transportation delays further increasing stress on our supply chain and negatively impacting the demand for new homes in affected areas, as well as slowing down or otherwise impairing the ability of utilities and local governmental authorities to provide approvals and service to new housing communities. Furthermore, if our insurance does not fully cover our costs and other losses from these events, including those arising out of related business interruptions, our earnings, liquidity, or capital resources could be adversely affected. Additionally, these factors may increase the cost of homeowners' insurance, which could reduce demand for the homes we build. Additionally, increasing governmental and societal attention to sustainability matters, including expanding mandatory and voluntary reporting on topics such as climate change and risk oversight, could expand the nature, scope, and complexity of matters that we are required to control, assess, monitor and report. These factors may increase our ongoing costs of compliance and adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows, and stock price. If we are unable to adequately address such sustainability matters or we or our subcontractors fail to comply with all related laws, regulations, policies and expectations, it could negatively impact our reputation, our business results, and the price of our common stock.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 17 ITEM 1A | RISK FACTORS We maintain products and completed operations excess liability insurance, obtain indemnities and certificates of insurance from subcontractors generally covering claims related to damages resulting from faulty workmanship and materials and maintain warranty and other reserves for the homes we sell based on historical experience in our markets and our judgment of the risks associated with the types of homes built. Although we actively monitor our warranty reserves and insurance coverage, because of the uncertainties inherent to these matters, we cannot provide assurance that our insurance coverage, our subcontractors' indemnity and warranty arrangements and our reserves together will be adequate to address all of our warranty and construction defect claims in the future. We record changes in estimates to pre-existing reserves as needed. The reserve estimate is based on assumptions, including but not limited to, the number of homes affected, the costs associated with each repair, and the effectiveness of the repairs. Due to the degree of judgment required in making these estimates and the inherent uncertainty in potential outcomes, it is reasonably possible that actual costs could differ from those recorded and such differences could be material, resulting in a change in future estimated reserves. In addition, contractual indemnities with our subcontractors can be difficult to enforce. We may also be responsible for applicable self-insured retentions and some types of claims may not be covered by insurance or may exceed applicable coverage limits. Additionally, the coverage offered by and the availability of products and completed operations excess liability insurance for construction defects is currently limited and costly. This coverage may be further restricted or become more costly in the future. In California we operate under an Owner Controlled Insurance Plan ("OCIP") for general liability exposures of most subcontractors (excluding consultants), as a result of the inability of subcontractors to procure acceptable insurance coverage to meet our requirements. Under the OCIP, subcontractors are effectively insured by us. We have assigned risk retentions and bid deductions to our subcontractors based on their risk category. These deductions are used to fund future liabilities. The cost of the future liabilities as they are realized could exceed the value of the deductions, which could increase our costs leading to a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Failure to manage land acquisitions, inventory and development and construction processes could result in significant cost overruns or errors in valuing sites. We own and purchase a large number of sites each year and are therefore dependent on our ability to process a very large number of transactions and make a number of budgetary assumptions which include, among other things, evaluating the site, designing the layout of the development, sourcing materials and subcontractors and managing contractual commitments efficiently and accurately. If we do not manage this process efficiently or our estimates for development costs are not accurate, it could result in the community not generating the returns we expected when underwriting the project and acquiring the property. In addition, we incur many costs even before we begin to build homes in a community. Depending on the stage of development of a land parcel when we acquire it, these may include: costs of preparing land, finishing and entitling lots, installing roads, sewers, water systems and other utilities; taxes and other costs related to ownership of the land on which we plan to build homes; constructing model homes; and promotional and marketing expenses to prepare for the opening of a new home community for sales. Moreover, local municipalities may impose development-related requirements resulting in additional costs. If the rate at which we sell and deliver homes slows or falls, or if our opening of new home communities for sale is delayed, we may incur additional costs, which would adversely affect our gross margins and could lead to a longer period of time for us to recover our costs, including those we incurred in acquiring and developing land. In certain circumstances, a grant of entitlements or development agreement with respect to a particular parcel of land may include restrictions on the transfer of such entitlements to a buyer of such land, which may increase our exposure to decreases in the price of such entitled land by restricting our ability to sell it for its full entitled value. In addition, inventory carrying costs can be significant and can result in reduced margins or losses in a poorly performing community or market. Further, if we were required to record a significant inventory impairment, it could negatively affect our reported earnings and negatively impact the market perception of our business.

If the market value of our land inventory decreases, our results of operations could be adversely affected by impairments and write-downs. The market value of our land and housing inventories depends on market conditions. We acquire land for expansion into new markets and for replacement of land inventory and expansion within our current markets, and there is often a significant lag time between when we acquire land for development and when we sell homes in our communities. This risk is exacerbated particularly with undeveloped and/or unentitled land. There is an inherent risk that the value of the land we have purchased may decline. The valuation of property is inherently subjective and based on the individual characteristics of each property. We may have acquired options on or bought and developed land at a cost we will not be able to recover fully or on which we cannot build and sell homes profitably. As a result, we may decide to abandon and forfeit deposits on land option contracts and other similar contracts if we cannot satisfactorily renegotiate the purchase price of the subject land. Moreover, all valuations are made on the basis of assumptions that may not prove to reflect economic or demographic reality. If housing demand decreases below what we anticipated when we acquired our inventory, our profitability may be adversely affected and we may not be able to recover our costs when we build and sell houses. In addition, we may incur charges against our earnings for inventory impairments if the value of our owned inventory, including land we decide to sell, is reduced or for land option deposit abandonments if we choose not to exercise land option contracts or other similar contracts, and these charges may be substantial.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 22 ITEM 1A | RISK FACTORS Regulations regarding environmental matters and climate change may affect us by substantially increasing our costs and exposing us to potential liability. We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, which may affect aspects of our operations such as how we manage storm water runoff, wastewater discharge and dust; how we develop or operate on properties on or affecting resources such as wetlands, endangered species, cultural resources, or areas subject to preservation laws; and how we address contamination. Developers and homebuilders may become subject to more stringent requirements under such laws. In addition, some of these requirements that significantly affect how certain properties may be developed are contentious, attract intense political attention, and may be subject to significant changes over time. For example, regulations governing wetlands permitting under the federal Clean Water Act have been the subject of extensive rulemakings for many years, resulting in several major joint rulemakings by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that have expanded and contracted the scope of wetlands subject to regulation; and such rulemakings have been the subject of many legal challenges, some of which remain pending. It is unclear how these and related developments, including at the state or local level, ultimately may affect the scope of regulated wetlands where we operate. Although we cannot reliably predict the extent of any effect these rulemakings regarding wetlands, or any other environmental requirements that may take effect, may have on us, they could result in time-consuming and expensive compliance programs and in substantial expenditures, which could cause delays and increase our cost of operations. Our noncompliance with environmental laws could result in fines and penalties, obligations to remediate or restore habitat, permit revocations and other sanctions. In addition, there is growing concern from advocacy groups and the general public that the emission of greenhouse gases and other human activities are causing significant changes in weather patterns and temperatures and the frequency and severity of weather events and natural disasters. There is a variety of legislation and other regulation being implemented or considered at the federal, state and local level relating to energy and climate change. This legislation and these regulations involve matters including carbon dioxide emissions control and building codes that impose energy efficiency standards, as well as standards to improve the resiliency of buildings to climate-related impacts such as flooding, storm surges, severe winds, wildfires and other extreme weather-related stress on buildings. Such requirements could significantly increase our cost to construct homes. Energy-related initiatives affect a wide variety of companies throughout the United States and the world and, because our operations are heavily dependent on significant amounts of raw materials, such as lumber, steel and concrete, they could also have an indirect adverse impact on our operations and profitability to the extent the manufacturers and suppliers of our materials are burdened with expensive cap and trade and similar energy-related taxes and regulations. Furthermore, some of our homes and land development projects may be in locations that are susceptible to the physical impacts of climate change, and we may experience losses that are not adequately covered by insurance in the event of an adverse event, or may not be able to find buyers for homes and developments in locations perceived as vulnerable to the physical impacts of climate change. Additionally, the cost of insurance is rising due to the increasing frequency and severity of damages due to severe weather or natural disaster events, and in some cases, insurers are refusing to renew or to write new policies in areas deemed susceptible to such events. Our customers' inability to obtain affordable insurance policies, which has become more widespread over recent years and which was exacerbated by the unprecedented wildfire in California in January 2025, could adversely impact our sales and results of operations.

•incur liens; and •designate any of our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. In addition, the indentures governing our senior notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur certain liens securing indebtedness without securing the senior notes on an equal and ratable basis and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, subject, in each case, to certain exceptions and qualifications. The agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility contains certain "springing" financial covenants that, if triggered, require Taylor Morrison Home III Corporation, a Delaware corporation and our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, and its subsidiaries to comply with a maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth test. The restrictions contained in the indentures governing our senior notes and the agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility could also limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions, meet capital needs or make acquisitions or otherwise restrict our activities or business plans. A breach of any of the restrictive covenants under the agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility or any of our senior notes could allow for the acceleration of the Revolving Credit Facility and/or all senior notes. If the indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility or the senior notes were to be accelerated, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient to repay in full that indebtedness and our other indebtedness.

If homebuyers are not able to obtain suitable financing, our sales may decline. A substantial majority of our homebuyers finance their home purchases through lenders that provide mortgage financing, including TMHF. The availability of mortgage financing may fluctuate due to various factors, including regulatory changes, that may cause a more conservative risk tolerance by lenders resulting in increased levels of scrutiny of a borrower's ability to repay. This includes those mortgages meeting the requirements of a Qualified Mortgage as defined under the Truth-In-Lending Act (Regulation Z). A limited availability of home mortgage financing may adversely affect the volume of our home sales and the sales orders prices we achieve. It could also limit our ability to attract new customers, or our existing customers' ability to resell their homes. While we typically do not write contracts to purchase contingent upon a customer's sale of their existing home, our sales contracts do include a financing contingency that permits the customer to terminate their contract in the event they have applied for financing with the builder's approved lender in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement and are unable to qualify. The liquidity provided by government-sponsored entities, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), as well as the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), the FHA and the VA, to the mortgage industry has been very important to the housing market. If Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were dissolved, or if the federal government tightened their borrowing standards or determined to stop providing liquidity support to the mortgage market (including due to any failure of lawmakers to agree on a budget or appropriation legislation to fund relevant programs or operations), there would be a reduction in the availability of the financing provided by these institutions. Any such reduction would likely have an adverse effect on interest rates, mortgage availability and our sales of new homes.

Higher cancellation rates may have an adverse effect on our business. Our backlog represents sales contracts with our homebuyers for homes that have not yet been delivered. We have received a deposit from a homebuyer for each home reflected in our backlog and, generally, we have the right, subject to certain exceptions, to retain the deposit if the homebuyer fails to comply with his or her obligations under the sales contract, including as a result of the homebuyer's inability to sell his or her current home or the homebuyer's inability to make additional deposits required prior to the closing date. In some situations, however, a homebuyer may cancel the agreement of sale and receive a complete or partial refund of the deposit. Homebuyers may choose to terminate their existing home purchase contracts with us in order to negotiate for a lower price or because they cannot, or will not, complete the purchase and our remedies generally do not extend beyond the retention of deposits as our liquidated damages. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our cancellation rate was 13.2%, compared to 9.5% for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 12.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023. In cases of cancellation, we remarket the home and retain any deposits we are permitted to retain. Nevertheless, the deposits may not offset the additional costs involved in remarketing the home, replacing or modifying installed options, carrying higher inventory, reducing the sales price or increasing incentives on the completed home for greater marketability. Further, depending on the stage of cancellation, a contract that is cancelled at the end of a phase may cause additional costs for the out of sequence construction or modification of the particular home. Significant numbers of cancellations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Raw materials and building supply shortages and price fluctuations could delay or increase the cost of home construction and adversely affect our operating results. The homebuilding industry has experienced and, from time to time, may in the future experience raw material shortages and be adversely affected by volatility in global commodity prices. These shortages and interruptions can result in significant cost inflation as well as negatively impact the timing of our closings and the pace of our sales. In particular, shortages and fluctuations in the price of concrete, drywall, lumber or other important raw materials could result in delays in the start or completion of, or increase the cost of, developing one or more of our residential communities. Our lumber needs are particularly sensitive to shortages and related cost increases, including increases in imposed tariffs. We may also face increased future home warranty and construction defect claims associated with substitute products or materials used in some instances to address supply shortages in certain markets or communities. See - "Homebuilding is subject to home

Inflation or deflation could adversely affect our business and financial results. Inflation can adversely affect us by increasing costs of land, materials and labor, which we have experienced in recent years. In addition, as discussed above, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which historically has had a negative impact on housing demand, as well as increasing the interest rates we need to pay for our own capital financing. While interest rates have recently stabilized, they are still elevated and are not expected to go down materially in the near future. In such an environment, we may not be able to raise home prices sufficiently to keep up with the rate of inflation, and our margins could decrease. An oversupply of homes relative to demand and home prices being set several months before homes are delivered may make any price increase difficult or impossible. Efforts by the government to stimulate the economy may increase the risk of significant inflation and its adverse impact on our business or financial results. Deflation could also affect us adversely. A significant period of deflation could cause a decrease in overall spending and borrowing levels. This could lead to a deterioration in economic conditions, including an increase in the rate of unemployment. Deflation could also cause the value of our inventories to decline or reduce the value of existing homes below the related mortgage loan balance, which could potentially increase the supply of existing homes and have a negative impact on demand and our results of operations. Furthermore, a material decline in oil and gas prices may increase the risk of significant deflation and its adverse impact on our business or financial results, as the economies of some of the markets in which we operate are impacted by the health of the energy industry. The homebuilding and mortgage and title services industries are highly competitive and if our competitors are more successful or offer better value to our customers, our business could decline. We operate in a very competitive environment with competition from a number of other homebuilders in each of our markets. We compete with large national and regional homebuilding companies and with smaller local homebuilders for land, financing and related services, raw materials, skilled management, volume discounts, local realtors and labor resources. We also compete with the resale, or "previously owned," home market, as well as other housing alternatives such as the rental housing market. Additionally, some of our competitors have longstanding relationships with subcontractors and suppliers in markets in which we operate and others may have greater financial resources or lower costs than us. Competitive conditions in the homebuilding industry could make it difficult for us to acquire suitable land at acceptable prices, cause us to increase selling incentives, reduce prices and/or result in an oversupply of homes for sale. These factors have adversely affected demand for our homes and our results of our operations in the past and could do so again in the future. Additionally, our mortgage and title services businesses compete with other mortgage lenders and title companies, including national, regional and local mortgage banks and other financial institutions, some of which may be subject to fewer government regulations or, in the case of mortgage lenders, may have a greater range of products, greater access to or a lower cost of capital or different lending criteria and may be able to offer more attractive financing to potential customers. If we are unable to compete effectively in our homebuilding and mortgage and title services markets, our business could decline disproportionately to our competitors, and our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. Any increase in unemployment or underemployment may lead to an increase in the number of loan delinquencies and property repossessions and have an adverse impact on us. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. unemployment rate was 4.4% as of December 2025, and the labor force participation rate was 62.5%. While the relatively low unemployment rate is an encouraging sign, people who are not employed, are underemployed, who have left the labor force or are concerned about low wages or the loss of their jobs are less likely to purchase new homes, may be forced to try to sell the homes they own and may face difficulties in making

The life cycle of a community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of land, continuing through the land development phase, and concluding with the sale, construction, and delivery of homes. Actual life cycle will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate, and whether we purchased the property as raw land or as developed lots. The construction time for our homes varies from project to project depending on geographic region, the time of year, the size and complexity of construction, the governmental approval processes, local labor availability, availability of materials and supplies, weather, and other factors. Our dedication to service defines our customer experience and acknowledges homeowners' suggestions to incorporate style, quality and sustainability into every community we develop. We offer a range of award-winning and innovative designs with a number of features such as single-story, multi-story, multi-family, higher density living, ranch style living, split bedroom plans and first floor master bedroom suites to appeal to various buyer needs. We engage architectural firms and utilize internal architectural resources to develop and augment existing plans in order to ensure that our homes reflect current and local consumer tastes. We engineer our homes for energy-efficiency and cost savings to reduce the impact on the environment.

Yardly Brand We operate a "Build-to-Rent" homebuilding business under the brand name Yardly. Taylor Morrison serves as a land acquirer, developer, and builder of these rental communities in addition to providing lease-up oversight in conjunction with professional third-party property management. Yardly has reimagined rental neighborhoods by blending function and form of both residential homes and traditional apartment living that appeal to a variety of demographics. Attractive one-to-four bedroom floor plans, smart home technology, low-maintenance living, and a focus on pets with private backyards allow for improved wellbeing and flexibility for residents. Differentiators from most traditional apartments include ground-floor primary living, limited to no wall-sharing to reduce noise, and a doggy door included in most homes for nonstop come-and-go pet access. We currently have projects in multiple markets including Austin, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Phoenix, Raleigh, Sarasota, and Tampa. These communities are financed in a variety of ways ranging from wholly-owned, land banks and joint ventures. Sourcing, development and leasing is ongoing at communities across Taylor Morrison's footprint and evaluation of financing options, product offerings, execution strategies and back-end valuations and exit decisions, which are influenced by market dynamics and purchaser and equity sentiment.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-K 7 ITEM 1 | BUSINESS The central element of our marketing platform is our web presence at our Taylor Morrison website which houses our suite of home-shopping digital tools placing innovation, transparency, and consumer ease at the forefront. Our system was completely redesigned in December 2025 as part of our ongoing evaluation of our online shopping experience with home shoppers. Our full suite of online shopping products includes: online self-service appointments to help customers schedule an appointment with ease; self-guided tours to enable customers to tour our homes privately, safely, and outside of normal business hours; an all new artificial intelligence enhanced digital assistant, to help provide information, engage the shopper, and generate leads; and online home reservations, which allow shoppers to get an initial price based on their selection of lot, floor plan, structural options and exterior and to reserve their desired home configuration digitally. These tools have proved to be instrumental to our online sales success. Shoppers can seamlessly continue their experience by visiting one of our quick-move-in and/or model homes via a self-guided or in-person tour. Customers may also use the website to schedule a phone appointment and receive a prompt response from one of our online sales managers. The website is fully integrated with our customer relationship management ("CRM") and lead scoring system. By analyzing the content of the CRM, we focus our lead generation programs to deliver high-quality sales leads. With these leads, we are better able to increase sales conversion rates and lower marketing costs. Our CRM system also offers automated personalization features which optimizes our email engagement program through targeted messaging. We are using dynamic customer insights to adapt our strategy and optimize the impact of each interaction, resulting in a better customer experience and increased direct sales. We also employ SMS text marketing in conjunction with our email campaigns to enhance customer engagement and drive conversions through real-time communication and personalized messaging. We also benefit from a centralized approach to in-house creative, paid and social media resulting in annual savings that are reinvested in additional media and high performing influencer campaigns to increase brand awareness. Additionally, we selectively utilize traditional advertising such as print, directional marketing, newspapers, billboards, and direct mail. We also directly notify local real estate agents and firms of new community openings to benefit from existing real estate agent/broker channels in each market. Pricing and incentives for our homes are evaluated weekly based on an analysis of market conditions, competitive environment, and supply and demand characteristics. We use furnished model homes as a marketing tool to demonstrate the advantages of our homes' designs, features and functionality, and to enhance the consumer experience. Depending upon the number of homes to be built in the project and the product lines to be offered, we generally build between one and three model homes within each active selling community. Our national model home program, known as Portrait, is aligned with a select group of design firms. The design firms follow our Taylor Morrison standards to create an integrated marketing program and a model home storefront that conveys the customer preferences we have identified. In addition, our Canvas program includes curated design collections, which are created based on consumer preference and analytics as well as product procurement availability. This standardized approach not only allows us to create more predictable results, but also time synergies, cost benefits, and support of our digital online sales strategy. We also use our Canvas program in our quick-move-in homes. Operational efficiencies are paramount to our sales process and such efficiencies have included standardized processes, disciplined strategic activities, and execution of national programs. Our homes are sold by commissioned team members who work from sales offices generally located within our model homes. Our goal is to ensure our sales force has extensive knowledge of the homes, including our energy-efficient features, sales strategies and incentives, mortgage options, and community dynamics. To achieve this goal, we have ongoing training for our sales team and conduct regular meetings to keep them abreast of the latest promotions, options, sales techniques, and geographic competition. Our sales team members are licensed real estate agents, where required by law, and assist our customers in adding design features to their homes, which we believe appeal to local consumer preferences. Third-party brokers who sell our homes are generally paid a sales commission based on the price of the home. In some of our divisions, we contract with third-party design studios that specialize in assisting our homebuyers with options and upgrades to personalize their homes. Utilizing these third-party design studios allows us to manage our overhead and costs more efficiently. We may also offer various sales incentives, including price concessions, assistance with closing costs, interest rate locks, interest rate buy downs, and landscaping or interior upgrades. The use, types, and amount of incentives depend largely on existing economic and local competitive market conditions. The consumer demand for online sales tools and the evolution of digital home buying experiences have created opportunities to evolve our internal and external commission programs.
