Executive summary
Fourth quarter 2025 saw 3,755 home closings and $1.4 billion in home closing revenue, both down year-over-year due to lower volume, average sales price, and softer market conditions, with a 2% decline in sales orders and a focus on margin over volume.
Full year 2025 sales orders were flat at 14,650 homes, with a 15% increase in community count to 336, offsetting slower demand and a 9% decline in absorption pace.
The company maintained a competitive advantage with a strong supply of move-in ready homes, a 60-day closing guarantee, and a focus on affordable, entry-level, and first move-up homes.
Returned $416 million to shareholders in 2025, including $179 million in Q4, via buybacks and dividends, and repurchased 6% of outstanding shares for the year.
Net earnings for Q4 were $84 million ($1.20 per diluted share), down 51% year-over-year; adjusted diluted EPS was $1.67, both within guidance.
Financial highlights
Q4 home closing revenue was $1.4 billion, down 12% year-over-year due to 7% lower volume and a 5% decrease in ASP to $375,000.
Adjusted home closing gross margin for Q4 was 19.3%, excluding $38.9 million in non-recurring charges; Q4 gross margin was 16.5%.
Q4 adjusted diluted EPS was $1.67, down 30% year-over-year, with $42.9 million in non-recurring charges.
Full year 2025 adjusted gross margin was 20.8%, down 420–520 bps from 2024, and adjusted diluted EPS was $7.05, down from $10.79.
SG&A as a percentage of revenue was 10.6% in Q4 and 10.7% for the year, reflecting higher commissions and technology costs.
Outlook and guidance
2026 guidance projects closings and revenue in line with 2025, assuming stable market conditions.
Q1 2026 guidance: 3,000–3,300 closings, $1.13–$1.24 billion revenue, 18–19% gross margin, 24% tax rate, and $0.87–$1.13 diluted EPS.
Community count expected to grow 5–10% in 2026 from year-end 2025 levels.
Committed to $400 million in share buybacks in 2026, with $100 million planned per quarter, subject to market conditions.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
