Beazer Homes Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal 2025 Results
"Fiscal 2025 was both productive and challenging. We finished the year on a positive note, with solid fourth quarter results and continued progress toward each of our Multi-Year Goals," said Allan P. Merrill, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In the fourth quarter, we exceeded 1,400 closings, driving profitability ahead of our expectations, and sales pace rebounded sequentially."
"While we are optimistic for more balanced supply and demand dynamics as 2026 unfolds, we believe the market will remain incentive-driven and highly competitive in the near-term. In this environment, we will focus on balance sheet efficiency and continued alignment of our assets with our differentiated strategy. As America’s #1 energy efficient homebuilder, we are uniquely positioned to offer a compelling, multi-faceted approach to lowering the total cost of home ownership and addressing affordability concerns."
Speaking to Beazer’s Multi-Year Goals, Mr. Merrill said, "By the end of fiscal 2027, we expect to reach more than 200 active communities, deleverage to the low

Protecting the Company’s Deferred Tax Assets
The Company currently possesses meaningful deferred tax assets, the majority of which were earned through the Company’s substantial investment in and commitment to energy-efficient building practices (Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits). The Company believes the deferred tax assets, inclusive of the Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits, provide substantial value to the Company and its stockholders and reflect the investment and commitment to its energy-efficient homebuilding strategy.
As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had net deferred tax assets of
In order to protect these assets, the Company has historically entered into a stockholder rights agreement and included certain transfer restrictions in the Company’s charter, both of which are designed to prevent an “ownership change” under Internal Revenue Code rules that would limit the Company’s ability to utilize these tax assets. The protective provisions in the Company’s charter expired on November 12, 2025, and the current rights agreement will expire on November 14, 2025. Accordingly, to continue to protect these valuable assets, the Company, with the unanimous approval of its Board of Directors, entered into a new Rights Agreement for the protection of net operating loss carryforwards and Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits (the New Rights Agreement). The New Rights Agreement will be submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders for ratification at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the 2026 Annual Meeting). The New Rights Agreement will automatically expire if the stockholders fail to ratify it at the 2026 Annual Meeting; however, if ratified by the stockholders, the New Rights Agreement will expire upon the earlier of (i) the first day of the Company’s taxable year when the Board of Directors determines that no Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits carry-forwards are available or (ii) any other event triggering expiration under its terms, but in no event later than November 14, 2028. Additionally, the Company intends to seek stockholder approval of a new charter amendment at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
Additional details regarding the New Rights Agreement are included in the Company’s Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed today, November 13, 2025, and additional information regarding the stockholder ratification of the New Rights Agreement and charter amendment, respectively, will be included in the Company’s upcoming proxy statement.
Commitment to Sustainability
In October 2025, Beazer Homes launched a new marketing campaign, Enjoy the Great Indoors™ , as part of a total brand refresh, which includes a new website, enhanced advertising, and a creative new look and feel. This initiative is designed to highlight the Company's advanced home performance features, such as energy efficiency, cleaner air quality, and exceptional comfort. A component of these advanced home features is solar-ready capability, allowing homeowners to install a solar renewable energy system with no additional infrastructure or retrofits needed.
Charity Title Agency and Charity Home Insurance Agency are wholly-owned by Beazer Homes and donate
In September, the Company published its 2024 Sustainability Update, which highlights its leadership in building energy-efficient homes and significant progress in advancing sustainability.

Beazer Home's position as America's #1 Energy-Efficient Homebuilder is based on the fact that Beazer Homes has the lowest HERS score of any national homebuilder based on publicly reported average HERS scores in fiscal 2025 for each of the top 30 homebuilders in the
This press release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this press release will not be achieved. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things:
-
macroeconomic uncertainty, including high levels of inflation, elevated interest rates and insurance costs, stock market volatility, the current
U.S. government shutdown, and historic changes inU.S. trade policy, negatively impacting consumer sentiment and softening demand for the homes we sell; - elevated mortgage interest rates for prolonged periods, as well as further increases to, and reduced availability of, mortgage financing;
-
supply chain challenges (including as a result of
U.S. trade policies and retaliatory responses from other countries) negatively impacting our homebuilding production, including shortages of raw materials and other critical components such as windows, doors, and appliances; - our ability to meet or achieve our sustainability related goals, aspirations, initiatives, and our public statements and disclosures regarding them;
- inaccurate estimates related to homes to be delivered in the future (backlog), as they are subject to various cancellation risks that cannot be fully controlled;
- factors affecting margins, such as adjustments to home pricing, increased sales incentives and mortgage rate buy down programs in order to remain competitive;
- decreased revenues;
- decreased land values underlying land option agreements;
- increased land development costs in communities under development or delays or difficulties in implementing initiatives to reduce our cycle times and production and overhead cost structures;
- not being able to pass on cost increases (including cost increases due to increasing the energy efficiency of our homes) through pricing increases;
- the availability and cost of land and the risks associated with the future value of our inventory, including impairments and abandonment charges;
- our ability to raise debt and/or equity capital, due to factors such as limitations in the capital markets (including market volatility), adverse credit market conditions and financial institution disruptions, and our ability to otherwise meet our ongoing liquidity needs (which could cause us to fail to meet the terms of our covenants and other requirements under our various debt instruments and therefore trigger an acceleration of a significant portion or all of our outstanding debt obligations), including the impact of any downgrades of our credit ratings or reduction in our liquidity levels;
- market perceptions regarding any capital raising initiatives we may undertake (including future issuances of equity or debt capital);
- inefficient or ineffective allocation of capital, including with respect to planned share repurchases;
- changes in tax laws, such as the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), or otherwise regarding the deductibility of mortgage interest expenses and real estate taxes, including those resulting from regulatory guidance and interpretations issued with respect thereto, such as the IRS's guidance regarding heightened qualification requirements for federal credits for building energy-efficient homes;
- increased competition or delays in reacting to changing consumer preferences in home design;
- natural disasters, severe weather, or other related events that could result in delays in land development or home construction, increase our costs or decrease demand in the impacted areas;
- shortages of or increased costs for labor used in housing production, including as a result of federal or state legislation, and/or enforcement, and the level of quality and craftsmanship provided by such labor;
-
terrorist acts, protests and civil unrest, political uncertainty, acts of war or other factors over which the Company has no control, such as the conflict between
Russia andUkraine , the instability and tension inGaza , and other instabilities and tensions in theMiddle East ; - the potential recoverability of our deferred tax assets;
- potential delays or increased costs in obtaining necessary permits as a result of changes to, or complying with, laws, regulations or governmental policies, and possible penalties for failure to comply with such laws, regulations or governmental policies, including those related to the environment;
- the results of litigation or government proceedings and fulfillment of any related obligations;
- the impact of construction defect and home warranty claims;
- the cost and availability of insurance and surety bonds, as well as the sufficiency of these instruments to cover potential losses incurred;
- the impact of information technology failures, cybersecurity issues or data security breaches, including cybersecurity incidents deploying evolving artificial intelligence tools and incidents impacting third-party service providers that we depend on to conduct our business;
- the impact of governmental regulations on homebuilding in key markets, such as regulations limiting the availability of water and electricity (including availability of electrical equipment such as transformers and meters); and
- the success of our sustainability initiatives, as well as the success of any other related partnerships or pilot programs we may enter into in order to increase the energy efficiency of our homes.
Any forward-looking statement, including any statement expressing confidence regarding future outcomes, speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Reconciliation of homebuilding gross profit and homebuilding gross margin (GAAP measures) to homebuilding gross profit and the related gross margin excluding impairments and abandonments and interest amortized to cost of sales (non-GAAP measures) is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that this information assists investors in comparing the operating characteristics of homebuilding activities by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective level of impairments and level of debt. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Net Income (GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP measure) is provided for each period discussed below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding and comparing core operating results and underlying business trends by eliminating many of the differences in companies' respective capitalization, tax position, level of impairments, and other non-recurring items. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
