Transcript signals

Bull points

  • We feel we're positioned to grow our business in the back half of the year, like we've commented, somewhere around 1% to 3% for our land business and 3% to 6% for our development business. I feel like we're in a good spot with development. A lot of that work is underway, and it could just be a little bit of a timing, but we feel we'll fall within that range.
  • We believe our resilient business model and momentum and key underlying metrics has us well positioned to deliver another record year of adjusted EBITDA while continuing to reinvest in our business to support long-term profitable growth.
  • As a result, we are raising our full year guidance on adjusted EBITDA margins and free cash flow.

Bear points

  • The unknown in the economy is not a tailwind for anybody right now, but that'll work its way out.
  • So you could see an impact on that 10% of discretionary spend. Is it a timing impact from April to May? Or if these trades and tariffs don't get resolved throughout the summer, is it a avoidance in the spend?
  • We just have this noise out there in the macro. And we consider ourselves lucky because we have a great, very resilient business that we're managing active growth.
