Key Terms

gross margin, pre-tax income, net income, diluted share, +4 more

8 terms

gross margin financial

"Gross margin of 18.1%; 22.6% excluding charges"

Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.

View in glossary

pre-tax income financial

"Pre-tax income of $81 million, including charges of $51 million"

Pre-tax income is the amount a company earns after subtracting all costs and expenses but before paying income taxes. Think of it like your paycheck before tax withholding: it shows the business’s underlying profit power without the distorting effect of different tax rates or one-time tax events. Investors use it to compare operating performance across companies and to gauge profitability and trends before tax policy or timing alters the bottom line.

net income financial

"Net income of $64 million ($2.39 per diluted share..."

Net income is the amount of money a company keeps after paying all its costs, interest, taxes and one-time charges — effectively the company’s profit “left over” at the end of a reporting period. Investors use it like a report card: it shows whether the business is generating real profit, influences earnings per share and dividend potential, and helps determine valuation and long-term financial health.

View in glossary

return on equity financial

"Return on equity of 13%"

Return on equity shows how effectively a company uses its shareholders' money to generate profit. It is calculated by dividing the company's net profit by its shareholders' equity, indicating how much profit is earned for each dollar invested by owners. Higher return on equity suggests the company is good at turning investments into earnings, which can be an important factor for investors assessing its profitability and efficiency.

homebuilding debt to capital ratio financial

"Homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 18%"

The homebuilding debt to capital ratio measures how much a homebuilder relies on borrowed money versus its total funding (borrowed debt plus owners’ investment). Think of it like the share of a house bought with a mortgage versus the portion paid by the owner; a higher ratio means more leverage and greater sensitivity to interest rates, cost overruns or sales slowdowns, which affects credit risk, profit variability and return potential for investors.

backlog financial

"Homes in backlog decreased 29% at December 31, 2025 to 1,809 units"

A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.

adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA | $ 128,507 | | $ 183,080 | | $ 608,456"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
