Expert Statements
Patrick Zalupski, Founder, CEO, and Co-Chairman of Dream Finders Homes
“Today, Beazer’s teams officially join ours, and the real work begins. We are closing this transaction in a challenging housing environment, and we are clear-eyed about that. But we believe this acquisition is transformative for Dream Finders. It makes us the nation’s sixth-largest homebuilder and brings us into new markets where Beazer was already proficient. We have been thoughtful in our approach, we are confident this is the right path, and the scale we gain is critical to our long-term growth. We will stay focused on execution rather than outside noise, and on our core priority — creating long-term value for our shareholders. This is our ninth acquisition since our IPO in 2021 and by far our largest, and we are approaching it as we have every integration: with a clear plan and the understanding that success is earned one community and one homebuyer at a time. Our priority now is to transition the homes we build in Beazer’s communities to Dream Finders’ floor plans that better match what today’s buyers can afford, while leveraging our increased scale to lower construction costs and shorten build times. To our new colleagues from Beazer, welcome to Dream Finders. We are glad you are here.”
Rick Beckwitt, Co-Chairman of Dream Finders Homes
“With the acquisition completed, the Board’s focus now turns to disciplined execution. This combination is built to perform throughout the housing market cycle. We continue to expect over $100 million of annual run-rate cost synergies and double-digit percentage EPS accretion in year one, while expanding our financial services platform and preserving the asset-light model that underpins our returns. We also remain committed to returning to and improving our current leverage metrics within 18 to 24 months, and the Board will work closely with management to ensure we deliver on that commitment.”
