Executive summary
Net income for Q3 2024 rose 24% year-over-year to $133.5 million, driven by strong financial services performance and a lower effective tax rate; nine-month net income was $254.5 million, down 10% from the prior year due to higher SG&A and merger-related costs.
Home sale revenues increased 28% year-over-year in Q3 2024, with 2,539 homes delivered, while gross margin from home sales declined to 17.8% from 19.2% due to higher incentives and land costs.
The company completed a $4.9 billion merger with SH Residential Holdings, LLC in April 2024, resulting in delisting from the NYSE and significant transaction and executive compensation expenses.
