Forestar Group Inc (FOR) reported $1.7B in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 10.1% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Forestar’s recent earnings are being absorbed by balance-sheet growth, turning a once cash-generative model into a cash user.
Across FY2024-FY2025, cumulative net income was$371.3M but operating cash flow was-$356.1M ; in FY2022-FY2023, those measures moved together instead of apart. That reversal means recent reported profit is being tied up inside the operating asset base rather than returning as cash, which explains why liquidity has fallen even without a dramatic leverage jump.
