Current report

In response to the significant shift in market conditions in 2025, we have slowed the pace of our housing starts, have increased sales incentives, and are taking additional pricing actions in many of our communities, which have resulted in $42.2 million of land inventory impairments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We continue to update the underwriting for our land option contracts prior to buying additional land and have made decisions to walk away from a number of land option agreements, which resulted in write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $26.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We will continue working with our trade partners to update the costs for materials, labor, and services to reflect changes in market conditions and plan to adjust our overhead cost structure as necessary to align with demand.

Current report

For the third quarter of 2025, Texas home sale revenues decreased 28% when compared with the prior year period due to a 28% decrease in closings combined with a slight decrease in average selling price. The decrease in closings occurred across all markets while the decrease in average selling price was mixed among markets. Income before income taxes decreased 58% primarily due to lower revenues across all markets and lower gross margins across the majority of markets. The decrease in net new orders occurred across all markets.

Current report

For the third quarter of 2025, West home sale revenues decreased 7% when compared with the prior year period due to a 11% decrease in closings partially offset by a 5% increase in average selling price.

Reworded paragraphs (47)

Previous wording

In the second quarter of 2025, the consumer demand weakness we experienced to begin the year continued. This softening continued to be influenced by ongoing affordability challenges, resulting from elevated mortgage interest rates and higher housing costs, as well as volatility in other macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including weakened consumer confidence. We have responded to these conditions by adjusting sales prices where necessary and focusing sales incentives on closing cost incentives, especially mortgage interest rate buydowns. Despite these efforts, net new orders in units decreased 7% for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the comparable prior year periods.

Current wording

In the third quarter of 2025, the consumer demand weakness we experienced in the first half of the year continued. This softening continued to be influenced by ongoing affordability challenges, resulting from elevated mortgage interest rates and higher housing costs, as well as volatility in other macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including weakened consumer confidence. We have responded to these conditions by adjusting production cadence and sales prices where necessary and focusing sales incentives on discounts on spec inventory (houses without customer orders) and closing cost incentives, especially mortgage interest rate buydowns. Despite these efforts, net new orders in units decreased 6% and 7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, versus the comparable prior year periods.

Previous wording

Although elevated mortgage interest rates and volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions may persist for some time, we believe the demographics supporting housing demand remain favorable over the long term. While inventories of new and existing homes have increased in the majority of our geographies, we believe that a chronic undersupply of housing stock remains in the United States that will take years to resolve. We expect that many homebuyers will continue to face affordability challenges, so our sales paces may remain volatile on a monthly basis. In response, we expect our sales incentives to remain elevated and for our pace of house starts to remain dynamic. Additionally, we continue to face pressure in the cost of land acquisition and development. Due to the length of our land development and construction cycle times, there is a lag between when such cost changes occur and when they impact our operating results. This is evidenced in our gross margin from home sales for the second quarter of 2025, which decreased to 27.0% from 29.9% in the comparable prior year period, and from 27.5% in the first quarter of 2025. These decreases are primarily due to higher land costs and sales incentives. While we expect to continue to generate healthy gross margins, they may decline somewhat in future periods as a result of these factors.

These decreases are primarily due to higher land costs combined with the aforementioned elevated sales incentives. While we expect to continue to generate healthy gross margins, they may decline somewhat in future periods as a result of these factors.

Previous wording

Home sale revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were lower than the prior year periods by $180.2 million and $250.5 million, respectively. In the three months ended June 30, 2025, the 4% decrease resulted primarily from a 6% decrease in closings from the prior year period, partially offset by a 2% increase in average selling price. In the six months ended June 30, 2025 the 3% decrease resulted primarily from a 6% decrease in closings, partially offset by a 4% increase in average selling price. The decreases in closings were primarily attributable to lower net new orders in the first half of 2025 and a weaker order backlog entering the year, partially offset by a higher community count and improved production cycle times. Average selling price during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased primarily due to geographic mix, including our Northeast segment, which carries a higher average selling price.

Current wording

Home sale revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were lower than the prior year periods by $94.9 million and $345.4 million, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2025, the 2% decrease resulted primarily from a 5% decrease in closings from the prior year period, partially offset by a 3% increase in average selling price. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025 the 3% decrease resulted primarily from a 6% decrease in closings, partially offset by a 3% increase in average selling price. The decreases in closings were primarily attributable to lower net new orders in the first half of 2025 and a weaker order backlog entering the year, partially offset by a higher community count and improved production cycle times. Average selling price during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased primarily due to product and geographic mix, including a slightly higher mix of closings toward our move-up buyers and in our Northeast segment, both of which carry a higher average selling price.

Previous wording

Home sale gross margins were 27.0% and 27.2% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared with 29.9% and 29.8% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The decreases in homes sale gross margins were primarily attributable to elevated sales incentives coupled with increased land acquisition and development costs. We expect these factors to continue to impact our gross margins over the near term. Gross margins for the first six months of 2025 were also unfavorably impacted by our efforts to reduce the number of final spec inventory to more appropriate levels, which we expect will continue to be an area of focus for the remainder of 2025. While we have made significant progress in the first half of 2025, the level of final spec inventory remains elevated for the current demand environment.

Current wording

Home sale gross margins were 26.2% and 26.9% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared with 28.8% and 29.4% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The decreases in home sale gross margins were primarily attributable to the aforementioned pricing actions, including elevated sales incentives, and increased land acquisition and development costs. We expect these factors to continue to impact our gross margins over the near term. Gross margins for the first nine months of 2025 were also unfavorably impacted by our efforts to reduce completed spec inventory to more appropriate levels, which we expect will continue to be an area of focus for the remainder of 2025. While we have made significant progress in reducing the level of spec inventory during 2025, the level of completed spec inventory remains elevated for the current demand environment.

Previous wording

We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties in the event such assets no longer fit into our strategic operating plans or are zoned for commercial or other development. Land sale and other revenues and their related gains or losses vary between periods, depending on the timing of land sales and our strategic operating decisions. Land sales and other revenues contributed income of $4.1 million and $5.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared with $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Land sales and other revenues contributed income of $5.1 million and $10.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared with losses of $6.0 million and $4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenues was 9.1% and 9.8% and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared with 8.1% and 8.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The gross dollar amount of our SG&A increased $29.3 million, or 8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the prior year period, and increased $65.1 million, or 9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the prior year period. The increase in gross dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 resulted primarily from insurance reserve reversals of $51.9 million and $78.7 million recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Additionally, SG&A for the first half of 2025 reflects modestly higher headcount and technology costs to support ongoing production volumes. We expect to continue managing and balancing our overhead costs consistent with expected changes in the demand environment.

Current wording

SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenues was 9.4% and 9.7% and in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared with 9.4% and 8.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The gross dollar amount of our SG&A decreased $6.2 million, or 2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the prior year period, and increased $58.8 million, or 5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the prior year period.

Net new orders in units decreased 7% while net new orders in dollars decreased 11% in the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared with the prior year period. Net new orders in units decreased 7% while net new orders in dollars decreased 8% in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared with the prior year period. The decreased net new order volume and dollars in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 over the comparable prior year periods was primarily attributable to the lower order volumes in our Texas and West segments. Cancellation rates (canceled orders for the period divided by gross new orders for the period) were 15% and 14% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 14% and 13% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

We operate our business to generate a cadence of house starts that aligns with the sales environment, and an appropriate inventory of quick move-in speculative ("spec") homes as we focus on turning our assets and delivering high returns on investment, which has allowed us to achieve an effective balance of price and pace. The supply chain constraints that arose several years ago have largely subsided. As a result, our production cycle times have improved significantly over the past two years and have now returned to near historical norms.

Our production cycle times have improved significantly over the past two years and have now returned to near historical norms. The following is a summary of our homes in production:

Previous wording

The number of homes in production at June 30, 2025 was 5% lower than at June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decreased number of sold homes due to lower backlog and improved production cycle times, which reduces the length of time a home sits in inventory. We continue to carefully monitor our production levels and expect to lower the percentage of our inventory that is unsold by the end of 2025.

Current wording

The number of homes in production at September 30, 2025 was 10% lower than at September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decreased number of sold homes due to lower backlog and improved production cycle times, which reduces the length of time a home sits in inventory.

Previous wording

While competition for well-positioned land is robust, we have continued to pursue land investments that we believe can achieve appropriate risk-adjusted returns on invested capital. We have also continued to seek to maintain a high percentage of our lots that are controlled via land option agreements as such contracts enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties or unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether and when to exercise our option, which reduces our financial risks associated with long-term land holdings. The remaining purchase price under our land option agreements totaled $10.1 billion at June 30, 2025.

We use letters of credit and surety bonds to guarantee our performance under various contracts, principally in connection with the development of our homebuilding projects and insurance programs. The expiration dates of the letter of credit contracts coincide with the expected completion date of the related homebuilding projects and insurance programs. If the obligations related to a project or program are ongoing, annual extensions of the letters of credit are typically granted on a year-to-year basis. At June 30, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $341.2 million. Our surety bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed. These bonds, which approximated $3.1 billion at June 30, 2025, are typically outstanding over a period of approximately three to five years. Because significant construction and development work has been performed related to projects that have not yet received final acceptance by the respective counterparties, the aggregate amount of surety bonds outstanding is in excess of the projected cost of the remaining work to be performed.

Accordingly, we are focused on protecting liquidity and closely managing our cash flows while also continuing to emphasize shareholder returns, including the following actions:
