Insights
Profitable 2025 with softer margins, lower backlog and a larger buyback.
Taylor Morrison delivered 2025 revenue of $8.12 billion, essentially flat year over year, while net income declined to $783 million. Home closings were stable at 12,997 units, but home closings gross margin fell to 22.5%, or 23.0% on an adjusted basis.
Operating efficiency improved, with SG&A reduced to 9.5% of home closings revenue versus 9.9% previously, contributing to a 13% return on equity and 14% growth in book value per share. However, net sales orders fell 9.6% to 11,074 homes and backlog units dropped 40.6%, signaling a lighter forward pipeline.
The board’s new $1 billion repurchase authorization through December 31, 2027 and 2026 guidance for approximately 11,000 closings at $580,000–$590,000 average price indicate continued focus on shareholder returns and disciplined volume. Actual outcomes will depend on housing demand, competitive pricing pressures and execution against the stated land investment plan of about $2 billion.
