Executive summary

• Q3 net income attributable to holders fell to $6.653 million from $46.997 million YoY; diluted EPS was $(0.00) vs. $0.47 amid weaker demand and lower homebuilding margins.

• Q3 closings reached a record 1,967, up 3% YoY; YTD closings were a record 6,127, while YTD net sales rose 6% to 6,352.

• The October 20 Beazer acquisition closed in an all-cash transaction with ~$2.2 billion enterprise value; results include its operations from the acquisition date.

• Operational improvements, lower overhead trends and a 70-bp sequential improvement in homebuilding gross margin partly offset ongoing affordability and margin pressure.

Outlook and guidance

• FY26 home closings guidance was reiterated at ~9,250.

• Challenging housing conditions, price sensitivity and elevated incentives are expected to persist absent sustained improvement in mortgage rates or affordability.

• Additional Beazer transaction, integration and deal-abandonment costs are expected in Q4; priorities include integration, targeted cost savings of $100 million, operating efficiencies and reducing leverage.

• Higher energy, materials and labor costs, tighter skilled-labor availability and potentially longer construction cycles may not be offset through pricing.
