Beazer Homes Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal 2025 Results

businesswire.com

ATLANTA--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) ( www.beazer.com) today announced its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

"Fiscal 2025 was both productive and challenging. We finished the year on a positive note, with solid fourth quarter results and continued progress toward each of our Multi-Year Goals," said Allan P. Merrill, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In the fourth quarter, we exceeded 1,400 closings, driving profitability ahead of our expectations, and sales pace rebounded sequentially."

"While we are optimistic for more balanced supply and demand dynamics as 2026 unfolds, we believe the market will remain incentive-driven and highly competitive in the near-term. In this environment, we will focus on balance sheet efficiency and continued alignment of our assets with our differentiated strategy. As America’s #1 energy efficient homebuilder, we are uniquely positioned to offer a compelling, multi-faceted approach to lowering the total cost of home ownership and addressing affordability concerns."

Speaking to Beazer’s Multi-Year Goals, Mr. Merrill said, "By the end of fiscal 2027, we expect to reach more than 200 active communities, deleverage to the low-30% range and grow book value per share into the mid-$50s. We are confident achieving these goals will create substantial value for our shareholders."

Beazer Homes Fiscal 2025 Highlights and Comparison to Fiscal 2024

Beazer Homes Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights and Comparison to Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2024

The following provides additional details on the Company’s performance during the fiscal fourth quarter 2025:

Profitability. Net income from continuing operations was $30.0 million, generating diluted earnings per share of $1.02. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $63.8 million was down $29.4 million, or 31.5%, primarily due to lower operating margin.

Orders. Net new orders for the fourth quarter decreased to 999, down 2.9% from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by a 10.7% decrease in sales pace to 2.0 orders per community per month, down from 2.2 in the previous year quarter, partially offset by an 8.7% increase in average active community count to 166 from 153 a year ago. The cancellation rate for the quarter was 17.9%, down from 21.9% in the prior year quarter.

Backlog. The dollar value of homes in backlog as of September 30, 2025 was $516.5 million, representing 945 homes, compared to $797.2 million, representing 1,482 homes, at the same time last year. The average selling price of homes in backlog was $546.5 thousand, up 1.6% year-over-year.

Homebuilding Revenue. Fourth quarter homebuilding revenue was $750.8 million, down 4.2% year-over-year. The decrease in homebuilding revenue was driven by a 6.0% decrease in home closings to 1,406 homes, partially offset by a 1.9% increase in ASP to $534.0 thousand. The decrease in closings was primarily due to lower beginning backlog, partially offset by higher volume of spec homes that sold and closed within the quarter and improved construction cycle times.

Homebuilding Gross Margin. Fourth quarter homebuilding gross margin was 13.7%, down 350 basis points year-over-year. Excluding impairments, abandonments and amortized interest, homebuilding gross margin was 17.2% for the fourth quarter, down 320 basis points year-over-year as a result of an increase in price concessions and incentives, such as mortgage rate buydowns, an increased share of spec home closings which generally have lower margins than "to be built" homes, and changes in product and community mix.

SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 9.6% for the quarter, an improvement of 10 basis points year-over-year primarily due to lower commissions on lower homebuilding revenue, partially offset by higher sales and marketing expenses and other G&A expenses to support community count growth.

Land Position. For the current fiscal quarter, land acquisition and land development spending was $121.7 million, a decrease of 32.0% year-over-year. Controlled lots decreased 10.1% to 25,660, compared to 28,538 from the prior year. Excluding land held for future development and land held for sale lots, active controlled lots were 24,758, down 11.3% year-over-year. As of September 30, 2025, the Company controlled 62.1% of its total active lots through option agreements compared to 57.8% as of September 30, 2024.

Liquidity. At the close of the fourth quarter, the Company had $538.3 million of available liquidity, including $214.7 million of unrestricted cash and $323.6 million of remaining capacity under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility, compared to total available liquidity of $503.9 million a year ago.

Total Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio. Total debt to total capitalization ratio was 45.2% at fiscal year end compared to 45.4% a year ago. Net debt to net capitalization ratio was 39.5% at fiscal year end, down 50 basis points from 40.0% a year ago reflecting the Company's capital allocation and strategic asset alignment decisions to moderate land spend and increase land sales.

Protecting the Company’s Deferred Tax Assets

The Company currently possesses meaningful deferred tax assets, the majority of which were earned through the Company’s substantial investment in and commitment to energy-efficient building practices (Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits). The Company believes the deferred tax assets, inclusive of the Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits, provide substantial value to the Company and its stockholders and reflect the investment and commitment to its energy-efficient homebuilding strategy.

As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $142.6 million and $128.5 million, respectively, representing an 11.0% increase. Approximately $84.1 million of the net deferred tax assets are Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits. The Company expects these Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits to continue to increase through June 30, 2026, which is the final date the Company can generate these credits due to recent legislative changes.

In order to protect these assets, the Company has historically entered into a stockholder rights agreement and included certain transfer restrictions in the Company’s charter, both of which are designed to prevent an “ownership change” under Internal Revenue Code rules that would limit the Company’s ability to utilize these tax assets. The protective provisions in the Company’s charter expired on November 12, 2025, and the current rights agreement will expire on November 14, 2025. Accordingly, to continue to protect these valuable assets, the Company, with the unanimous approval of its Board of Directors, entered into a new Rights Agreement for the protection of net operating loss carryforwards and Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits (the New Rights Agreement). The New Rights Agreement will be submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders for ratification at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the 2026 Annual Meeting). The New Rights Agreement will automatically expire if the stockholders fail to ratify it at the 2026 Annual Meeting; however, if ratified by the stockholders, the New Rights Agreement will expire upon the earlier of (i) the first day of the Company’s taxable year when the Board of Directors determines that no Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits carry-forwards are available or (ii) any other event triggering expiration under its terms, but in no event later than November 14, 2028. Additionally, the Company intends to seek stockholder approval of a new charter amendment at the 2026 Annual Meeting.

Additional details regarding the New Rights Agreement are included in the Company’s Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed today, November 13, 2025, and additional information regarding the stockholder ratification of the New Rights Agreement and charter amendment, respectively, will be included in the Company’s upcoming proxy statement.

Commitment to Sustainability

In October 2025, Beazer Homes launched a new marketing campaign, Enjoy the Great Indoors™ , as part of a total brand refresh, which includes a new website, enhanced advertising, and a creative new look and feel. This initiative is designed to highlight the Company's advanced home performance features, such as energy efficiency, cleaner air quality, and exceptional comfort. A component of these advanced home features is solar-ready capability, allowing homeowners to install a solar renewable energy system with no additional infrastructure or retrofits needed.

Charity Title Agency and Charity Home Insurance Agency are wholly-owned by Beazer Homes and donate 100% of their net profits, after normal business expenses, taxes, reserves, and mission-related costs, to the Beazer Charity Foundation (the Foundation), the Company's philanthropic arm. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, contributions to the Foundation totaled $2.2 million. The Foundation is a nonprofit entity that provides donations to vetted national and local non-profits. Partnering with charitable organizations at local level aligns the Foundation's financial contributions with opportunities for Beazer's employees to have a positive impact on the communities the Company serves. In March 2025, the Company held its inaugural Day of Service, a day devoted to making a collective impact in the community. In just one day, our employees contributed more than 4,000 volunteer hours to both national and local charitable organizations.

In September, the Company published its 2024 Sustainability Update, which highlights its leadership in building energy-efficient homes and significant progress in advancing sustainability.

America’s #1 Energy-Efficient Homebuilder:​

Homes built by Beazer Homes had an average Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score of 32 in fiscal 2025. A lower HERS score indicates a more energy-efficient home. Beazer Home's position as America's #1 Energy-Efficient Homebuilder is based on the fact that Beazer Homes has the lowest HERS score of any national homebuilder based on publicly reported average HERS scores in fiscal 2025 for each of the top 30 homebuilders in the U.S. (based on 2024 sales according to Builder Magazine). Historically, we have reported our average HERS Index Score as a “gross” score that excludes the benefit of renewable energy technologies (i.e. solar-photovoltaic system). Our fiscal 2025 gross HERS score was 38. We are transitioning to reporting scores reflecting the benefits of renewable energy technologies to more closely align with how our industry peers report HERS scores.​

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and homebuilding gross margin (GAAP measures) to homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin excluding impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales (non-GAAP measures) is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that this information assists investors in comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective level of impairments and level of debt. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Net Income (GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP measure) is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing core operating results and underlying business trends by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position, level of impairments, and other non-recurring items. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(a)

In periods during which we impaired certain of our inventory assets, capitalized interest that is impaired is included in the line above titled "Interest amortized to home construction and land sales expenses and capitalized interest impaired."

(b)

We previously held a minority interest in a technology company specializing in digital marketing for new home communities, which was sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. In exchange for the previously held investment, we received cash in escrow along with a minority partnership interest in the acquiring company, which was recorded within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. The resulting gain of $8.6 million from this transaction was recognized in other income, net on our consolidated statement of operations. The Company believes excluding this one-time gain from Adjusted EBITDA provides a better reflection of the Company's performance as this item is not representative of our core operations.

Reconciliation of total debt to total capitalization ratio (GAAP measure) to net debt to net capitalization ratio (non-GAAP measure) is provided for each period below. Management believes that net debt to net capitalization ratio is useful in understanding the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
