housing gross profit margin financial
"The housing gross profit margin was 16.5%, compared to 18.2%."
Housing gross profit margin measures how much money a homebuilder or seller keeps from each home sale after paying the direct costs to build or acquire it, expressed as a percentage of the sale price (gross profit divided by revenue). Think of it like the markup a baker gets after subtracting ingredient costs from a loaf’s price; higher margins mean the business keeps more from each sale and usually signals better pricing power and operational efficiency, which helps investors judge profitability and risk.
adjusted housing gross profit margin financial
"Adjusted housing gross profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure."
debt to capital ratio financial
"The debt to capital ratio was 35.7%, compared to 30.3%."
The debt to capital ratio shows how much of a company’s total funding comes from borrowed money versus all available capital (borrowed money plus owners’ equity). Think of it like the share of a house purchase covered by a mortgage compared with your own savings. Investors use it to gauge financial risk and resilience: a higher ratio means more dependence on debt, which can amplify returns but also increases the chance of trouble if cash flow falls.
Built to Order other
"goal of returning to a predominantly Built to Order business"
A production and sales approach where a product is manufactured or configured only after a customer places an order, often allowing customization and avoiding a stock of finished goods. It matters to investors because it changes how quickly a company recognizes revenue, how much inventory and working capital it needs, and how sensitive the business is to production capacity and order backlogs—like ordering a custom suit instead of buying one off the rack.
backlog financial
"Ending backlog increased for the first time in four years"
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.

KB HOME REPORTS 2026 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Revenues of $1.30 Billion; Diluted Earnings Per Share of $1.05
Repurchased $50.0 Million of Common Stock
LOS ANGELES (September 22, 2026) — KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today reported results for its third quarter ended August 31, 2026.
“We are operating in a housing market that continues to be challenging, with conditions weakening since our June earnings report. Higher mortgage interest rates have further pressured affordability and, together with geopolitical uncertainty and broader economic headwinds, have caused many prospective buyers to be more cautious on purchasing a home,” said Jeffrey Mezger, Executive Chairman. “Against this backdrop, we produced third quarter financial results that reflected solid sequential improvement.”
“We also made significant progress and have now achieved our goal of returning to a predominantly Built to Order business, with BTO homes representing nearly three-quarters of our deliveries in the third quarter, which contributed to our sequentially higher housing gross profit margin,” said Robert McGibney, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we generated year-over-year community count growth. This reflects a significant number of new community openings over the past year that will help support our sales efforts going forward, along with a continued focus on balancing price and pace for the best possible return.”
“Looking ahead to the remainder of this fiscal year, we continue to expect our full-year deliveries, housing revenues and margins to be within the ranges we last provided. We remain committed to enhancing long-term shareholder value through both our performance and our balanced approach to capital allocation, with the financial capacity to continue investing in our future growth and rewarding shareholders through our ongoing repurchase program and long-standing quarterly dividend,” concluded Mezger.
Three Months Ended August 31, 2026 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)
•Revenues were down 20% to $1.30 billion.
•Homes delivered decreased 19% to 2,732.
•Average selling price was $473,000, compared to $475,700.
•Homebuilding operating income was $67.1 million, compared to $131.2 million. The homebuilding operating income margin was 5.2%, compared to 8.1%, due to a lower housing gross profit margin and a higher selling, general and administrative expense ratio. Excluding inventory-related charges of $3.0 million for the current quarter and $11.3 million for the year-earlier quarter, the homebuilding operating income margin was 5.4%, compared to 8.8%.
◦The housing gross profit margin was 16.5%, compared to 18.2%. Excluding the above-mentioned inventory-related charges, the housing gross profit margin was 16.8%, compared to 18.9%, primarily reflecting continued pricing pressure, higher relative land costs and reduced operating leverage.
◦Selling, general and administrative expenses were 11.3% of housing revenues, compared to 10.0%, mainly due to a decrease in operating leverage, partly offset by lower costs associated with certain performance-based employee compensation plans and personnel reductions.
•Financial services pretax income totaled $7.4 million, compared to $8.7 million, primarily reflecting lower results from title and insurance operations.
•Pretax income totaled $81.2 million, including a $3.5 million gain on the sale of an equity investment in a privately held technology company, compared to $143.2 million.
•Net income was $65.3 million, compared to $109.8 million, with an effective tax rate of 19.6%, compared to 23.3%. The lower effective tax rate was mainly due to the impact of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the current period. Diluted earnings per share was $1.05, compared to $1.61, reflecting current quarter net income, partly offset by the favorable impact of the Company’s common stock repurchases.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 2026 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)
•Revenues totaled $3.49 billion, compared to $4.54 billion.
•Homes delivered of 7,497 were down 19%.

◦Monthly net orders per community were 3.1, compared to 3.8.
◦The cancellation rate as a percentage of gross orders was 18%, compared to 17%.
•The average community count for the quarter grew 8% to 279, and the ending community count was up 5% to 277.
Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2026 (comparisons to November 30, 2025, except as noted)
•The Company had total liquidity of $942.4 million, including $159.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $783.4 million of available capacity under its unsecured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”), with $415.0 million of cash borrowings outstanding.
•Inventories increased 5% to $5.98 billion.
◦Investments in land and land development for the quarter increased 40% to $722.3 million, compared to $514.1 million for the prior-year quarter. For the nine months ended August 31, 2026, total land-related investments decreased 8% to $1.79 billion, compared to $1.95 billion for the year-earlier period.
◦The Company’s lots owned or under contract decreased 5% to 61,581, of which approximately 60% were owned and 40% were under contract.
•Notes payable were $2.11 billion, compared to $1.69 billion, reflecting cash borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. The debt to capital ratio was 35.7%, compared to 30.3%. As of August 31, 2025, the debt to capital ratio was 33.2%.
2
•Stockholders’ equity totaled $3.80 billion, compared to $3.90 billion, primarily reflecting common stock repurchases and cash dividends for the nine months ended August 31, 2026, partly offset by net income for the same period.
◦In the 2026 third quarter, the Company repurchased .9 million shares of its outstanding common stock at a cost of $50.0 million, bringing its total repurchases for the nine months ended August 31, 2026 to 3.1 million shares at a total cost of $175.0 million.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(In Thousands, Except Percentages – Unaudited)
Company management’s discussion of the results presented in this press release may include information about the Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin, which is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure is relevant and useful to investors in understanding its operations, and may be helpful in comparing the Company with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. However, because it is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be completely comparable to other companies in the homebuilding industry and, thus, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance and/or financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s operations.
Adjusted Housing Gross Profit Margin
The following table reconciles the Company’s housing gross profit margin calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s adjusted housing gross profit margin:
| Three Months Ended August 31, | Nine Months Ended August 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Housing revenues | $ | 1,292,350 | $ | 1,613,975 | $ | 3,470,076 | $ | 4,525,732 | |||||||||||||||
| Housing construction and land costs | (1,078,590) | (1,320,611) | (2,923,732) | (3,658,080) | |||||||||||||||||||
| Housing gross profits | 213,760 | 293,364 | 546,344 | 867,652 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Add: Inventory-related charges (a) | 2,986 | 11,338 | 10,720 | 18,351 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Adjusted housing gross profits | $ | 216,746 | $ | 304,702 | $ | 557,064 | $ | 886,003 | |||||||||||||||
Housing gross profit margin | 16.5 | % | 18.2 | % | 15.7 | % | 19.2 | % | |||||||||||||||
| Adjusted housing gross profit margin | 16.8 | % | 18.9 | % | 16.1 | % | 19.6 | % | |||||||||||||||
(a) Represents inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges associated with housing operations.
Adjusted housing gross profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates by dividing housing revenues less housing construction and land costs excluding housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges (as applicable) recorded during a given period, by housing revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is housing gross profit margin. The Company believes adjusted housing gross profit margin is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance as it measures the gross profits the Company generated specifically on the homes delivered during a given period. This non-GAAP financial measure isolates the impact that housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges have on housing gross profit margins, and allows investors to make comparisons with the Company’s competitors that adjust housing gross profit margins in a similar manner. The Company also believes investors will find adjusted housing gross profit margin relevant and useful because it represents a profitability measure that may be compared to a prior period without regard to variability of housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges. This financial measure assists management in making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix, product pricing and construction pace.
