Horton for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024 decreased 7% to $2.61 per diluted share compared to $2.82 per diluted share in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. Net income attributable to D.R. Horton in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased 11% to $844.9 million compared to $947.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. Consolidated revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased 1% to $7.6 billion compared to $7.7 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2024.

The Company's return on equity (ROE) was 19.1% for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and return on assets (ROA) was 13.4% for the same period. ROE is calculated as net income attributable to D.R. Horton for the trailing twelve months divided by average stockholders' equity, where average stockholders' equity is the sum of ending stockholders' equity balances of the trailing five quarters divided by five. ROA is calculated as net income attributable to D.R. Horton for the trailing twelve months divided by average consolidated assets, where average consolidated assets is the sum of total asset balances for the trailing five quarters divided by five.

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by operations was $646.7 million. The Company's consolidated cash balance at December 31, 2024 was $3.0 billion and available capacity on its credit facilities was $3.5 billion, for total liquidity of $6.5 billion. Debt at December 31, 2024 totaled $5.1 billion, with $500 million of senior notes maturing in the next twelve months. The Company's debt to total capital ratio at December 31, 2024 was 17.0%. Debt to total capital ratio consists of notes payable divided by stockholders' equity plus notes payable.

David Auld, Executive Chairman, said, "The D.R. Horton team delivered strong results in our first fiscal quarter of 2025, highlighted by earnings per diluted share of $2.61 on consolidated revenues of $7.6 billion. Consolidated pre-tax income was $1.1 billion with a pre-tax profit margin of 14.6%, enabling us to return $1.2 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends during the quarter.

"Although the level of new and existing home inventories has increased from historically low levels, the supply of homes at affordable price points is generally still limited, and demographics supporting housing demand remain favorable. Despite continued affordability challenges and competitive market conditions, incentives such as mortgage rate buydowns have helped to address affordability and spur demand. Additionally, given our focus on affordable product offerings, we have continued to start and sell more of our homes with smaller floor plans to meet homebuyer demand.

"Our strong liquidity, low leverage, substantial cash flows, tenured operators and national scale provide us with significant financial and operational flexibility. We are well-positioned with our affordable product offerings and flexible lot supply, and we are focused on maximizing returns in each of our communities. We are maintaining our disciplined approach to capital allocation to enhance the long-term value of D.R. Horton, including consistent and increasing capital returns to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends."

The Company’s homebuilding return on inventory (ROI) was 26.7% for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
