Its Century Living segment is concentrated in Colorado. The company's revenue is heavily dependent on the U.S. housing market, with no material international exposure [doc:10-K_2026-04-15]. ### Growth Trajectory The company's revenue in Q1 2026 was $789.67 million, a decline from prior periods. Outlook for the current fiscal year indicates a contraction in revenue, with no clear signs of recovery in the next fiscal year [doc:financial_snapshot].
