About United Homes Group, Inc.
UHG is a publicly traded residential builder headquartered in
UHG employs a land-light operating strategy with a focus on the design, construction and sale of entry-level, first move up and second move up single-family houses. UHG currently designs, builds and sells detached single-family homes, and, to a lesser extent, attached single-family homes, including duplex homes and town homes in three major market regions in
Under its land-light lot operating strategy, UHG controls its supply of finished building lots through lot purchase agreements with third parties including its Land Development Affiliates, which provide UHG with the right to purchase finished lots after they have been developed by the applicable third party. This land-light operating strategy provides UHG with the ability to amass a pipeline of lots without the same risks associated with acquiring and developing raw land.
As UHG reviews potential geographic markets into which it could expand its homebuilding business, either organically or through strategic acquisitions, it intends to focus on selecting markets with positive population and employment growth trends, favorable migration patterns, attractive housing affordability, low state and local income taxes, and desirable lifestyle and weather characteristics.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 and 2022 (UNAUDITED)
Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management of UHG as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. UHG defines adjusted gross profit as gross profit excluding the effects of capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales and non-recurring remediation costs. UHG’s management believes adjusted gross profit provides useful information to investors because it separates the impact that capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales has on gross profit to provide a more specific measurement of UHG’s gross profits. However, because adjusted gross profit information excludes capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales, which has real economic effects and could impact UHG’s results of operations, the utility of adjusted gross profit information as a measure of UHG’s operating performance may be limited. Other companies may not calculate adjusted gross profit information in the same manner that UHG does. Accordingly, adjusted gross profit information should be considered only as a supplement to gross profit information as a measure of UHG’s performance.
The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted gross profit to the GAAP financial measure of gross profit for each of the periods indicated.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 and 2022 (UNAUDITED)
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management of UHG. UHG defines EBITDA as net income before (i) capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales, (ii) interest expensed in other (expense) income, net, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) taxes. UHG defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense, transaction cost expense, non-recurring remediation costs and change in fair value of derivative liabilities. Management of UHG believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors because they enable a more effective evaluation of UHG’s operating performance and allow comparison of UHG’s results of operations from period to period without regard to UHG’s financing methods or capital structure or other items that impact comparability of financial results from period to period such as fluctuations in interest expense or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. UHG’s computations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA of other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income for each of the periods indicated.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Continued
Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense, or adjusted SG&A, is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management of UHG. UHG defines adjusted SG&A as SG&A, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense and transaction cost expense. Management of UHG believes adjusted SG&A provides useful information to investors because it enables an alternative assessment of the Company's operating results in a manner that is focused on its operating performance.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted SG&A to the GAAP financial measure of SG&A for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Continued
Adjusted book value is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management of UHG. UHG defines adjusted book value as total stockholders' equity (book value), excluding the effect of derivative instruments. Management of UHG believes Adjusted book value is useful to investors because it excludes the impact of fair value adjustments on derivative instruments which are not expected to result in economic gain or loss.
The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted book value to the GAAP financial measure of total stockholders' equity for the period indicated.
