Management Commentary
CEO Jeffrey Mezger: “Affordability concerns and geopolitical uncertainty slowed buyer decisions early in Q1, but mid-quarter pricing adjustments led to improved weekly sales and normalized absorption over the past five weeks. Despite a miss on Q1 sales, we’re seeing better trends and are confident in our team’s ability to execute.”
