Green Brick Partners, Inc. Named in the Top 20 of Fortune’s 2021 Fastest Growing Companies List and Number One Fastest Growing Public Homebuilder
PLANO, Texas, Nov. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Green Brick Partners, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRBK) (the “Company” or “Green Brick”), a national homebuilding company, is pleased to announce that it has been named to Fortune’s 2021 list of 100 Fastest Growing Companies for the third consecutive year.
To qualify for the list, companies must meet a rigorous set of qualifying factors and are then ranked by revenue growth rate, EPS (earnings per share) growth rate, and three-year annualized total return for the period ended June 30, 2021. Overall rankings are then determined based on the sum of the three rankings.
“We are incredibly proud to be recognized by Fortune as a top 20 fastest growing company, and the number one fastest growing public homebuilder in the United States,” said Jim Brickman, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Green Brick Partners. “Ranking for the third year in a row amongst this esteemed group of honorees demonstrates the strength of our value proposition as we have been able to provide industry-leading risk-adjusted returns for our investors and homes of unmatched quality and design to our homebuyers.”
The honor was awarded to Green Brick due in part to a 3-year annual revenue growth rate of 28% and a 3-year EPS annual growth rate of 80%. The company’s strong performance enabled it to climb 36 spots from its 2020 rank to finish 19th overall. By operating only in the best markets in the country this remarkable growth was achieved organically, without any acquisitions.
“Our industry-leading land and lot position growth coupled with unprecedented demand for new homes over the past year has positioned us to achieve significant growth in 2022 and beyond,” said Jed Dolson, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Green Brick Partners. “We are honored that these accomplishments are being recognized by Fortune, and are grateful to our shareholders for their continued trust in our vision for growth.”
The company intends to announce its third quarter 2021 results on November 2nd, 2021, and will host an earnings conference call at 12:00 pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021.
