Executive summary
Home sales revenue rose 2.3% year-over-year to $299.4 million, with total revenue up 6% to $310.8 million, driven by a 27% increase in home deliveries, offset by a 20% drop in average selling price due to mix shift and incentives.
Net loss was $7.3 million ($0.20 per diluted share) for Q1 2025, compared to net income of $0.7 million in Q1 2024, reflecting higher incentives, increased interest costs, and lower gross margins.
Net new orders rose 11% year-over-year, but backlog fell 32% in units and 39% in value; sales pace was 3.0 homes per community per month.
Demand improved as the quarter progressed, driven by lower mortgage rates and increased incentives; 67% of Q1 deliveries were spec homes sold in the same quarter.
Strategic shift underway to balance spec and build-to-order closings, aiming for a 50-50 split to improve margins and cash flow.
Financial highlights
Delivered 643 homes in Q1 2025, near midpoint of guidance, with Florida leading in deliveries, followed by Arizona and Texas.
Gross margin before inventory impairments was 13.5%; adjusted gross margin was 20%.
Inventory impairment of $1.5 million in Texas (DFW asset) impacted gross margin.
Adjusted EBITDA was $13.5 million, down from $17.0 million year-over-year.
Liquidity at quarter end was $256 million, including $52.3 million in cash and $204 million in revolver availability.
Outlook and guidance
Incentive levels expected to remain elevated through 2025, fluctuating with mortgage rates; Q2 incentives anticipated in the 7%-9% range.
Management expects continued challenges from high mortgage rates and affordability concerns, with stabilization in absorption and cancellation rates.
Focus remains on managing inventory, expanding in Texas, and leveraging incentives to drive sales.
The company anticipates increasing backlog in coming quarters as quick move-in homes convert faster.
Optimistic about long-term industry outlook due to housing supply needs and homeownership demand.
