Toll Brothers Reports FY 2026 First Quarter Results

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL) (TollBrothers.com), the nation’s leading builder of luxury homes, today announced results for its first quarter ended January 31, 2026.

FY 2026's First Quarter Financial Highlights (Compared to FY 2025's First Quarter):

Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer, stated: “We are pleased with our first quarter results, as we met or exceeded guidance across nearly all metrics. We delivered 1,899 homes at an average price of $977,000, generating home sales revenues of $1.85 billion. Our adjusted gross margin was 26.5% in the quarter, 25 basis points better than guidance, and our SG&A expense, as a percentage of homebuilding revenues, was 13.9%, 30 basis points better than guidance. As a result, we earned $2.19 per diluted share in the quarter, a 25% increase compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. In addition, we signed 2,303 net contracts for $2.4 billion in the quarter, flat in units but up 3% in dollars year-over-year as our average sales price increased to $1,033,000.

“We continue to be very pleased with our focus on the luxury market and its more affluent customer base. We also continue to benefit from our broad geographic footprint, the widest variety of home offerings and price points in the industry, and our balanced mix of build-to-order and spec homes. Our business model and strategy have allowed us to perform well in the current environment, giving us the confidence to maintain our full year guidance.

“At the end of the first quarter, we owned or controlled approximately 75,000 lots, providing us with sufficient land to continue growing community count at an annual pace of 8% to 10% in fiscal 2026 and beyond. Our balance sheet is solid with low net debt and ample liquidity, and we project significant operating cash flows in fiscal 2026. This will enable us to continue investing in our business while delivering strong returns to our stockholders.

“Last month, Toll Brothers was named the #1 Most Admired Home Builder in Fortune magazine’s 2026 list of the World’s Most Admired Companies, the ninth year the Company has achieved this honor. It is a recognition of our strong luxury brand and the tremendous talent and hard work of our Toll Brothers employees.”

Many of the factors mentioned above or in other reports or public statements made by us will be important in determining our future performance. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from those that might be anticipated from our forward-looking statements.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

This press release contains, and Company management’s discussion of the results presented in this press release may include, information about the Company’s adjusted home sales gross margin and the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio.

These measures are non-GAAP financial measures which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies in the home building business.

The Company’s management considers these non-GAAP financial measures as we make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance, including against other home builders that may use similar non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in understanding our operations and leverage and may be helpful in comparing the Company to other home builders to the extent they provide similar information.

Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin

The following table reconciles the Company’s home sales gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s adjusted home sales gross margin (a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted home sales gross margin is calculated as (i) home sales gross margin plus interest recognized in home sales cost of revenues plus inventory write-downs recognized in home sales cost of revenues divided by (ii) home sales revenues.

The Company’s management believes adjusted home sales gross margin is a useful financial measure to investors because it allows them to evaluate the performance of our home building operations without the often varying effects of capitalized interest costs and inventory impairments. The use of adjusted home sales gross margin also assists the Company’s management in assessing the profitability of our home building operations and making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix.

Forward-looking Adjusted Home Sales Gross Margin

The Company has not provided projected second quarter and full FY 2026 home sales gross margin or a GAAP reconciliation for forward-looking adjusted home sales gross margin because such measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis, since inventory write-downs are based on future activity and observation and therefore cannot be projected for the second quarter and full FY 2026. The variability of these charges may have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our second quarter and full FY 2026 home sales gross margin.

Net Debt-to-Capital Ratio

The following table reconciles the Company’s ratio of debt to capital (calculated in accordance with GAAP) to the Company’s net debt-to-capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure). The net debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as (i) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) total debt minus mortgage warehouse loans minus cash and cash equivalents plus stockholders’ equity.

The Company’s management uses the net debt-to-capital ratio as an indicator of its overall leverage and believes it is a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations.
