Reported first quarter net income was $213 million, or $2.07 per diluted share, while adjusted net income was $225 million, or $2.18 per diluted share.

First quarter 2025 highlights:

Home closings revenue of $1.8 billion, up 12% year over year
- 3,048 closings, up 12% year over year, at an average price of $600,000
Home closings gross margin of 24.0% and adjusted home closings gross margin of 24.8%
Net sales orders of 3,374, down 8% from a year ago
- Monthly absorption pace of 3.3, down from a near-record of 3.7 a year ago
- Ending outlets of 344, up 4% year over year
86,266 homebuilding lots owned and controlled

Total liquidity of $1.3 billion

"In the first quarter, we delivered 3,048 homes at an average price of $600,000, producing $1.8 billion of home closings revenue, up 12% year over year, with an adjusted home closings gross margin of 24.8%, up 80 basis points year over year. Combined with 70 basis points of SG&A leverage, our adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 25% while our book value per share grew 16% to approximately $58. Once again, each of our operational metrics met or exceeded our prior guidance. These strong top and bottom-line results reflect the benefits of our diversified consumer and product strategy. Especially in volatile market environments, this diversification is a valuable differentiator that we believe contributes to greater volume and margin resiliency," said Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison CEO and Chairman.

"From a sales perspective, the slow start in January gave way to stabilization in February and modest growth in March, following the historic pattern, albeit with slightly less velocity than we would have otherwise anticipated during the early spring selling season. In total, our monthly absorption pace increased to 3.3 per community from 2.6 in the fourth quarter but was down from the near-record of 3.7 we achieved a year ago. However, this was still solidly ahead of our pre-COVID historic first quarter average of 2.6 from 2013 to 2019, reflecting our strategic shift into higher-pacing, larger communities. By consumer group, our net sales were fueled by growth in our resort lifestyle segment, driven by strength in Florida, a modest decline in our move-up segment and a steeper reduction in entry-level sales—reinforcing the importance of our broad consumer reach," said Palmer.

"Given our diversified portfolio, there is not a singular approach to our pace-versus-price strategy, but rather an ongoing community-specific process that considers each asset's unique competitive dynamics, sales momentum and other market influences. Assuming a continuation of current market conditions as we look out to the remainder of the year, we now expect to deliver between 13,000 to 13,500 homes at a home closings gross margin around 23% in 2025."

Palmer continued, "While the current environment has made it challenging to provide near-term guidance with strong conviction, we remain confident in our long-term trajectory on our path to 20,000 closings by 2028. The path there will not be a straight line as we navigate the market—with 2025 now expected to represent a speed bump on our path there; however, we believe our disciplined underwriting and attractive product positioning is strongly supportive of a business capable of generating low-to-mid 20% home closings gross margins and high-teen returns on equity over time. Additionally, we continue to believe the market overall remains under-supplied and demographics supportive of the strong need for new construction. In aspiring to reach 20,000 closings, we will prioritize bottom-line earnings and returns for our shareholders while always maintaining the health of our balance sheet. We are not interested in growth for growth's sake. As our strategy has proven over the last decade-plus, we seek to maximize long-term return potential by thoughtfully balancing both pace and price through a uniquely diversified portfolio that is well positioned to withstand housing's cyclicality."

First Quarter Business Highlights (All comparisons are of the current quarter to the prior-year quarter, unless indicated.)

Homebuilding

Home closings revenue increased 12% to $1.8 billion, driven by a 12% increase in closings to 3,048 homes and a flat average closing price of $600,000.
Home closings gross margin was 24.0% on a reported basis and 24.8% on an adjusted basis. This compared to a reported and adjusted home closings gross margin of 24.0% a year ago.
Net sales orders declined 8% to 3,374. This was driven by a decline in the monthly absorption pace to 3.3 from the near-record of 3.7 a year ago, which was partially offset by a 4% increase in ending community count to 344 outlets.
Cancellations equaled 11.0% of gross orders, up from 7.0% a year ago but consistent with historic norms.
SG&A as a percentage of home closings revenue declined 70 basis points to 9.7% from 10.4% a year ago.
Backlog at quarter end was 5,068 homes with a sales value of $3.4 billion. Backlog customer deposits averaged approximately $48,000 per home.

Land Portfolio

Homebuilding land investment totaled $469 million, inclusive of $218 million for development and $251 million for lot acquisitions. Homebuilding land investment totaled $588 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Homebuilding lot supply was 86,266 homesites, of which a record 59% was controlled off balance sheet. This compared to total homesites of 74,182 a year ago, of which 53% was controlled.
Based on trailing twelve-month home closings, total homebuilding lots represented 6.5 years of supply, of which 2.7 years was owned.

Financial Services

The mortgage capture rate was 89%, up from 87% a year ago.
Borrowers had an average credit score of 751 and average debt-to-income ratio of 40%.

The gross homebuilding debt to capital ratio was 24.3%. Including $378 million of unrestricted cash on hand, the net homebuilding debt-to-capital ratio was 20.5%.

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 inventory and real estate impairment charges, impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment 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. 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 taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), non-cash compensation expense, if any, inventory and real estate impairment charges, impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment 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 ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization 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 ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization 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.
