Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation Century Communities, Inc. (which we refer to as “we,” “CCS,” or the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in the States of Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Washington. In many of our projects, in addition to building homes, we are responsible for the entitlement and development of the underlying land. We build and sell homes under our Century Communities and Wade Jurney Homes brands. Our Century Communities brand targets a wide range of buyer profiles including: first time, first and second time move up, and lifestyle homebuyers, and provides our homebuyers with the ability to personalize their homes through certain option and upgrade selections. Our Wade Jurney Homes brand targets first time homebuyers, primarily sells homes through retail studios and the internet, and provides no option or upgrade selections. Our homebuilding operations are organized into the following five reportable segments: West, Mountain, Texas, Southeast, and Wade Jurney Homes. Additionally, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Inspire Home Loans, Inc., Parkway Title, LLC, and IHL Home Insurance Agency, LLC, which provide mortgage, title and insurance services, respectively, to our home buyers have been identified as our Financial Services segment. On June 14, 2018, we acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in WJH, LLC (which we refer to as “WJH” or “Wade Jurney Homes”) for $37.5 million. On the acquisition date, WJH had operations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (which we refer to as “GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 that was filed with the SEC on February 13, 2019. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, and variable interest entities for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. We currently do not have any variable interest entities in which we are deemed the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications In order to conform to current year presentation, mortgage loans held for investment and derivative assets of $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively, have been reclassified to prepaid expenses and other assets from mortgage loans held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Leases The Financial Accounting Standards Board (which we refer to as “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases (which we refer to as “ASC 842”) which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for most leases. ASC 842 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and interim periods within the annual period. We adopted ASC 842 under a modified retrospective approach using the option to apply the transition provisions on the effective date January 1, 2019. The modified retrospective approach allows the Company to carry forward our historical lease classification, and to present historical periods under legacy lease accounting guidance. The Company’s leases primarily consist of leases for office space, and computer and office equipment where we are the lessee. ASC 842 includes several practical expedients which we elected upon adoption including to (a) not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (b) not reassess whether previously capitalized initial direct costs qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. Additionally, we elected to utilize hindsight when determining the lease term. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the establishment of a right of use asset of $17.7 million and a lease liability of $18.7 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASC 842 did not impact stockholders’ equity. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).” The standard changes the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Credit losses which have historically been accounted for on an incurred loss basis will now be accounted for using an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. This will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, the standard will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We anticipate ASU 2016-13 will apply to certain of our loans held for investment and certain receivable balances. We do not anticipate this standard having a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40).” This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective for the Company January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, the Company has elected to apply the standard prospectively. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

1. Basis of Presentation

Century Communities, Inc. (which we refer to as “we,” “CCS,” or the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in the States of Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Washington.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, and variable interest entities for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. We currently do not have any variable interest entities in which we are deemed the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

In order to conform to current year presentation, mortgage loans held for investment and derivative assets of $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively, have been reclassified to prepaid expenses and other assets from mortgage loans held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Leases

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (which we refer to as “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases (which we refer to as “ASC 842”) which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for most leases. ASC 842 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and interim periods within the annual period. We adopted ASC 842 under

a modified retrospective approach using the option to apply the transition provisions on the effective date January 1, 2019. The modified retrospective approach allows the Company to carry forward our historical lease classification, and to present historical periods under legacy lease accounting guidance. The Company’s leases primarily consist of leases for office space, and computer and office equipment where we are the lessee.
