PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM) announced today financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $586 million, or $2.96 per share. In the prior year period, the Company reported net income of $698 million, or $3.35 per share.

“We remain disciplined in running our business consistent with PulteGroup’s long-term operating and financial strategies as we manage production volumes and capital allocation, while executing our operating model to drive high returns over the housing cycle,” said PulteGroup President and CEO, Ryan Marshall. “Reflective of this approach, in our third quarter we generated home sale revenues of $4.2 billion, and earnings of $2.96 per share, while driving strong cash flow from operations and returning $344 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

“Within the current operating conditions, our diversified business platform is enabling PulteGroup to deliver strong financial results, while we continue to position the business for growth when buyer demand improves in the future,” added Mr. Marshall. “We are encouraged to see that interest rates have moved lower, but continue to monitor buyer demand that has been impacted by weaker consumer confidence and ongoing affordability challenges.”

Third Quarter Results

In the third quarter, the Company generated home sale revenues of $4.2 billion, a decrease of 2% from the $4.3 billion realized in the prior year. Home sale revenues in the period reflect a 5% decrease in closings to 7,529 homes, partially offset by a 3% increase in the average sales price of homes closed to $564,000. The higher average sales price realized in the quarter was driven by a shift in the geographic mix of homes closed relative to the prior year.

The Company’s reported home sale gross margin in the third quarter was 26.2%, compared with 28.8% in the third quarter of 2024. SG&A expense for the third quarter was $401 million, or 9.4% of home sale revenues, compared with $407 million, or 9.4% in the prior year period.

Net new orders for the third quarter totaled 6,638 homes, which is a decrease of 6% from prior year net new orders of 7,031 homes. The value of net new orders in the quarter was $3.6 billion, compared with $3.9 billion in the third quarter of last year. For its third quarter, the Company’s average community count totaled 1,002, which is an increase of 5% from the prior year.

At the end of the third quarter, the Company’s backlog was 9,888 homes with a value of $6.2 billion.

In the third quarter, the Company's financial services operations generated pre-tax income of $44 million, compared with prior year pre-tax income of $55 million. Lower pre-tax income in the period was driven primarily by lower closing volumes in the Company’s homebuilding operations, along with a decrease in mortgage capture rate to 84% compared with 87% last year.

In the third quarter, PulteGroup repurchased 2.4 million of its common shares for $300 million. Through the first nine months of 2025, the Company repurchased 8.2 million common shares, or 4.0% of shares outstanding, for $900 million, or $109.81 per share. The Company ended the quarter with $1.5 billion of cash and a debt-to-capital ratio of 11.2%.

A conference call discussing PulteGroup's third quarter 2025 results is scheduled for Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Interested investors can access the live webcast via PulteGroup's corporate website at www.pultegroupinc.com.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains information about our debt-to-capital ratios. These measures could be considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC's rules and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, comparable GAAP financial measures. We calculate total net debt by subtracting total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash from notes payable to present the amount of assets needed to satisfy the debt. We use the debt-to-capital and net debt-to-capital ratios as indicators of our overall leverage and believe they are useful financial measures in understanding the leverage employed in our operations. We believe that these measures provide investors relevant and useful information for evaluating the comparability of financial information presented and comparing our profitability and liquidity to other companies in the homebuilding industry. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry report similar information, the methods used may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies in the homebuilding industry to calculate these measures and any adjustments thereto before comparing our measures to those of such other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the debt-to-capital ratios ($000's omitted):
