THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LGI Homes, Inc. (NASDAQ:LGIH) today announced financial results for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2025.

"We delivered solid results in the second quarter including profitability metrics at the high end of our prior guidance range," said Eric Lipar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LGI Homes.

"In the second quarter, we delivered 1,323 homes at an average sales price of $365,446, resulting in $483.5 million in revenue. Additionally, our gross margin and our adjusted gross margin both increased 190 basis points sequentially to 22.9% and 25.5%, respectively, and our adjusted gross margin was at the high end of the range provided on our last call. We continue to pursue opportunities for cost savings and improved efficiency as we focus on driving additional improvement in our profit margins and earnings per share. Finally, in the second quarter we repurchased 367,568 shares of our common stock.

"Although demand for homeownership during the quarter was resilient, affordability challenges tied to interest rates and broader economic uncertainty dampened some buyers' willingness to transact, resulting in a sequential decline in our second quarter net orders. However, we are encouraged by recent trends in late June and throughout July, which point to an improved sales environment in the third quarter.

"In today's market, our spec-focused business model makes visibility into the fourth quarter a challenge. As a result, we are withdrawing our full year 2025 guidance and providing guidance only for the third quarter of 2025. We intend to reintroduce annual guidance when market conditions stabilize."

Mr. Lipar concluded, "Despite the current challenges confronting our industry, we remain confident in the housing market's long-term outlook, underpinned by strong demographics and a structural shortage of new homes. Our second quarter results demonstrate our commitment to positioning the Company to capitalize on long-term opportunities when the market improves, while continuing to deliver strong results today."

Third Quarter 2025 Outlook

Subject to the caveats in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release and the assumptions noted below, the Company is providing the following guidance for the third quarter of 2025. The Company expects:

Home closings between 1,100 and 1,300
Active selling communities at the end of the third quarter of 2025 of approximately 145
Average sales price per home closed between $360,000 and $365,000
Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues between 21.5% and 22.5%
Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues between 24.0% and 25.0% with capitalized interest accounting for substantially all of the difference between gross margin and adjusted gross margin
SG&A as a percentage of home sales revenues between 15.0% and 16.0%
Effective tax rate of approximately 24.5%

This outlook assumes that general economic conditions, including input costs, materials, product and labor availability, interest rates and mortgage availability, in the third quarter of 2025 are similar to those experienced to date in 2025 and that the average sales price per home closed, construction costs, availability of land and land development costs for the full third quarter of 2025 are consistent with the Company's recent experience. In addition, this outlook assumes that governmental regulations relating to land development and home construction are similar to those currently in place and does not take into account any additional changes to U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and duties on homebuilding products.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company has provided information in this press release relating to adjusted gross margin.

Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines adjusted gross margin as gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Management believes this information is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments, which have real economic effects and could impact results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of the Company's operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of the Company's performance.

The following table reconciles adjusted gross margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands, unaudited):
