RESULTS FOR THE THREE-MONTHS AND FULL YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2025:
- Total revenues were $817.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which was within the guidance range we provided, compared with $979.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year. For the year ended October 31, 2025, total revenues were $2.98 billion compared with $3.00 billion in fiscal 2024.

In fiscal 2025, homebuilding gross margin percentage, after cost of sales interest expense and land charges, was 12.7% compared with 18.7% in the prior fiscal year.

Total SG&A was $349.8 million, or 11.7% of total revenues, in fiscal 2025 compared with $342.2 million, or 11.4% of total revenues, in the previous fiscal year.
- Total interest expense as a percentage of total revenues increased to 4.2% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with 3.2% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year increase in interest expense is primarily related to a few large communities in planning.

- The company incurred losses related to the early extinguishment of debt and land charges of $52.9 million, contributing to a loss before income taxes for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 of $4.1 million compared with income before income taxes of $117.9 million in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. For fiscal 2025, income before income taxes was $86.1 million compared with $317.1 million during the prior fiscal year.

For the year ended October 31, 2025, income before income taxes excluding land-related charges and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net was $158.8 million compared with income before these items of $327.3 million in fiscal 2024.
- Net loss was $0.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared with net income of $94.3 million, or $12.79 per diluted common share, in the same period of the previous fiscal year. For fiscal 2025, net income was $63.9 million, or $7.43 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $242.0 million, or $31.79 per diluted common share, during fiscal 2024.
- EBITDA was $35.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $151.0 million for the fourth quarter of the prior year. For fiscal 2025, EBITDA was $226.4 million compared with $445.4 million in the prior year. Reported EBITDA is inclusive of the loss on extinguishment of debt and land related charges of $52.9 million discussed above.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $88.6 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2025, which was above the high end of the guidance range we provided, compared with $159.0 million in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the year ended October 31, 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $299.1 million compared with $455.6 million in the previous fiscal year.
- Consolidated contracts in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased 10.8% to 1,209 homes ($629.2 million) compared with 1,355 homes ($705.6 million) in the same quarter last year. Contracts, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, for the three months ended October 31, 2025, decreased 7.7% to 1,450 homes ($787.1 million) compared with 1,571 homes ($845.7 million) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Last year's results were reflective of an exceptionally strong market, with contracts that included domestic unconsolidated joint ventures rising by 81.6% in October 2024.
- As of October 31, 2025, the number of consolidated communities increased by 7.7% to 140, compared with 130 communities as of October 31, 2024. Including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, community count grew by 6.1% to 156 as of October 31, 2025, up from 147 as of October 31, 2024.
- Consolidated contracts per community declined by 17.3% year-over-year to 8.6 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to 10.4 in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. When including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, contracts per community decreased by 13.1% to 9.3 for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared with 10.7 in the prior year period. As discussed above, we had an exceptionally strong fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, which included a 56.5% year-over-year increase in consolidated contracts per community in October of 2024.
- The dollar value of consolidated contract backlog, as of October 31, 2025, decreased 22.4% to $726.5 million compared with $936.8 million as of October 31, 2024. The dollar value of contract backlog, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, as of October 31, 2025, decreased 25.2% to $923.2 million compared with $1.23 billion as of October 31, 2024. The year-over-year decrease in backlog dollars is partly due to increased sales of quick move in homes (QMIs), which are typically in backlog for a very short period of time.
- The gross contract cancellation rate for the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2025, was 17% for both consolidated contracts and domestic unconsolidated joint venture contracts, compared with 18% for both items in the fourth quarter of the prior year.
- For the trailing twelve-month period our net income return on inventory was 3.8% and our adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes return on investment (Adjusted EBIT ROI) was 17.7%. For the most recently reported trailing twelve-month periods, we believe we had the second highest Adjusted EBIT ROI compared to nine of our publicly traded midsized homebuilder peers.
- 1)When we refer to "Domestic Unconsolidated Joint Ventures", we are excluding results from our multi-community unconsolidated joint venture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
LIQUIDITY AND INVENTORY AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2025:
- During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, land and land development spending was $199.4 million compared with $318.4 million in the same quarter one year ago. For fiscal 2025, land and land development spending was $859.4 million compared with $995.4 million in the prior year.
- Total liquidity as of October 31, 2025, was $404.1 million, which was significantly above our target liquidity range of $170 million to $245 million.
- In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, approximately 3,100 lots were put under option or acquired in 32 consolidated communities.
- As of October 31, 2025, our total controlled consolidated lots were 35,883 compared with 41,891 lots at the end of the previous fiscal year's fourth quarter. Continuing our land-light strategic focus, 85% of our lots were optioned at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Based on trailing twelve-month deliveries, the current position equaled 6.5 years' supply.
- Total QMIs as of October 31, 2025, were 907, a decline of 10.7% compared with 1,016 as of July 31, 2025, illustrating our efforts to match our starts with our sales pace. This equates to 6.5 QMIs per community as of October 31 2025.
DEBT REFINANCING:
- The Company issued $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.0% Senior Notes due 2031 and $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Notes due 2033.
- The Company used the net proceeds from the new issuances to redeem all of its outstanding secured notes consisting of 8.0% Senior Secured 1.125 Lien Notes due 2028 and 11.75% Senior Secured 1.25 Lien Notes due 2029, as well as to repay in full all loans outstanding under its Senior Secured 1.75 Lien Term Loan Facility due 2028.
- The Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement governing its $125 million secured revolving credit facility which, among other things, extended the final scheduled maturity thereof by two years to June 30, 2028.
- Key benefits of the refinancing:
- Simplified capital structure: Replaced multiple tiers of secured debt with unsecured notes.
- Extended maturity runway: The transaction refinanced all of the Company's secured debt maturing in fiscal 2028 and 2029 and proactively extended these maturities to fiscal 2031 and fiscal 2033 with unsecured notes.
- Decreased interest incurred: Despite the nominal increase in debt outstanding, we are pleased that the transaction resulted in $12 million decrease in annual interest incurred.
- Extended the revolver maturity: The transaction extended the maturity of the revolver, which was the nearest term maturity, from the third quarter of fiscal 2026 until the third quarter of fiscal 2028.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE- 2)-
The Company is providing guidance for total revenues, adjusted homebuilding gross margin, adjusted income before income taxes and adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Financial guidance below assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions, including deterioration in our supply chain or material increases in mortgage rates, inflation or cancellation rates, and excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $120.23 on October 31, 2025.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, total revenues are expected to be between $550 million and $650 million, adjusted homebuilding gross margin is expected to be between 13.0% and 14.0%, adjusted income before income taxes is expected to be between $10 million and $20 million and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $35 million and $45 million.
- 2)The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. These items include, but are not limited to, land-related charges, inventory impairments and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.
COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:
"Despite a tough housing market, our team performed very well, meeting or beating all of our guidance for the quarter," said Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. "To maintain sales pace, we continued to rely on incentives, which lowered our gross profit margins but allowed us to sell older, less profitable land. In the fourth quarter, we averaged 8.6 contracts per community. Given our recent land acquisitions, we expect our gross margin percentage to be lowest in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and to gradually increase in the following quarters. This gives us a strong base for long-term value creation for our shareholders."
"This quarter marked a significant milestone in strengthening our capital structure with the successful refinancing of our secured debt with unsecured bonds-a culmination of years of disciplined liability management and strategic capital market activity. By improving our financial flexibility and reducing risk, we've positioned ourselves to invest strategically in growth, while navigating market cycles with confidence. Our focus remains unwavering: delivering industry-leading returns to our shareholders over the long term through prudent financial stewardship and operational excellence," concluded Mr. Hovnanian.
