Taylor Morrison Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC), a leading national community developer and homebuilder, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. For the first quarter, reported net income was $99 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, while adjusted net income was $109 million, or $1.12 per diluted share.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights
"Our first quarter results reflected the effectiveness of our diversified strategy, the quality of our core locations, and the disciplined execution of our teams. We delivered 2,268 homes at an average price of $578,000 and an adjusted home closings gross margin of 20.6%, driving adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.12 and 11% year-over-year growth in our book value per share to $64. On the capital front, we invested $503 million in land and development and $150 million in share repurchases and ended the quarter with $1.6 billion in liquidity," said Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO.
Palmer continued, "Encouragingly, our first quarter sales were achieved with a significant increase in the mix of to-be-built orders to 38% from 28% in the fourth quarter, a more than 100 basis point sequential reduction in incentives, and a 30% decline in our finished spec count to 863 homes. With net orders outpacing closings, our backlog grew 23% sequentially to 3,465 homes. We believe our diversification across consumer segments remains a critical driver of our results relative to the broader market. In particular, our resort lifestyle segment provided a strong source of differentiated sales success during the quarter as the only consumer segment to grow year over year, driven by a 9% increase in Esplanade sales. Supported by the underlying strength of our strategy, we are reaffirming our full-year 2026 guidance across all key metrics, despite the evolving market backdrop."
"Our strategic priorities center on a refocusing of our expertise in the discerning entry-level, move-up and resort lifestyle segments, with land investments focused on well-located, core submarkets that best align with our product offerings and target consumer groups. Tactically, we are focused on continuing to rebuild our backlog with ongoing normalization in our sales mix, managing our starts cadence, and ensuring the more than 125 new communities we have slated for the year open with strong momentum. We believe these priorities are laying the groundwork for a meaningful reacceleration in growth in 2027 and beyond while positioning our portfolio to generate attractive long-term returns for our shareholders."

A reconciliation of our forward-looking adjusted home closings gross margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we provide our investors with supplemental information relating to: (i) adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, (ii) adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, (iii) adjusted home closings gross margin, (iv) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and (v) net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio.
Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share and adjusted income before income taxes and related margin are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the net income/(loss) available to the Company excluding, to the extent applicable in a given period, the impact of real estate and inventory impairment charges, impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, unique and unusual warranty charges, gains/losses on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net, and legal reserves or settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business and in the case of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, the tax impact due to such items. Adjusted home closings gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as GAAP home closings gross margin (which is inclusive of capitalized interest), excluding inventory impairment charges and unique and unusual warranty charges. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that measure performance by adjusting net income before allocation to non-controlling interests to exclude, as applicable, interest expense/(income), net, amortization of capitalized interest, income tax provisions, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), non-cash compensation expense, if any, real estate and inventory impairment charges, impairment of investments in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, unique and unusual warranty charges, gains/losses on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net and legal reserves or settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business, in each case, as applicable in a given period. Net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, plus unamortized debt issuance cost/(premium), net, and less mortgage warehouse facilities borrowings, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents ("net homebuilding debt"), by (ii) total capitalization (the sum of net homebuilding debt and total stockholders' equity).
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis, as well as the performance of our segments, and to set targets for performance-based compensation. We also use the net homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio as an indicator of overall financial leverage and to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry. In the future, we may include additional adjustments in the above-described non-GAAP financial measures to the extent we deem them appropriate and useful to management and investors.
We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, are useful for investors in order to allow them to evaluate our operations without the effects of various items we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance and also because such metrics assist both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted EBITDA also provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. Because we use the net homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry, we believe this measure is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason. We believe that adjusted home closings gross margin is useful to investors because it allows investors to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the varying effects of items or transactions we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures of our operating performance or liquidity. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry may report similar information, their definitions may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures before comparing their measures to ours.
A reconciliation of (i) adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, (ii) adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, (iii) adjusted home closings gross margin, (iv) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and (v) net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio to the comparable GAAP measures is presented below. For purposes of our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2025, such measures have been recast to include certain adjustments being presented in the three months ended March 31, 2026 that were previously deemed immaterial in the prior period.
