ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM) announced today financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $608 million, or $3.03 per share. Prior year reported net income of $809 million, or $3.83 per share, included a $52 million pre-tax, or $0.19 per share, insurance benefit and a $13 million, or $0.06 per share, tax benefit related to the favorable resolution of certain state tax matters, recorded in the period.

“PulteGroup continues to deliver strong financial results, as our disciplined business practices allow us to navigate today’s highly competitive homebuilding environment,� said Ryan Marshall, President and Chief Executive Officer of PulteGroup. “We achieved second quarter earnings of $3.03 per share, as we closed 7,639 homes while driving exceptional gross and operating margins of 27.0% and 17.9%, respectively. Our operating and financial results allowed us to continue to return funds to shareholders, as we repurchased $300 million of stock in the second quarter, while generating a return on equity* of 23%.

“Over the course of the 2025 spring selling season, we saw consumers dealing with a range of issues from high interest rates and challenged affordability to macro concerns about the strength of the economy. We are encouraged, however, by the positive consumer response we saw to the pullbacks in interest rates in late June and at times earlier in the year.

“Given the market dynamics we experienced in the first half of the year, we have aligned our home production and land investment to effectively serve today’s current core demand, while positioning us to retain and grow our market share as demand strengthens in the future.�

Home sale revenues for the second quarter decreased by 4% from the prior year to $4.3 billion. Lower revenues for the quarter were the result of a 6% decrease in closings to 7,639 homes, partially offset by a 2% increase in average sales price to $559,000.

For its second quarter, PulteGroup reported a home sale gross margin of 27.0%, which is down from 29.9% last year, but was consistent with the Company’s previously provided guidance range. The Company’s reported second quarter SG&A expense was $390 million, or 9.1% of home sale revenues. Prior year reported SG&A expense of $361 million, or 8.1% of home sale revenues, included the $52 million pre-tax insurance benefit recorded in the period.

The Company reported net new orders for the second quarter of 7,083 homes, which is down 7% from prior year net new orders of 7,649 homes. The dollar value of net new orders in the second quarter was $3.9 billion, compared with $4.4 billion in the prior year quarter. For the second quarter, the Company operated out of an average of 994 communities, which is an increase of 6% over the second quarter of 2024.

At quarter end, the Company’s backlog was 10,779 homes with a value of $6.8 billion.

In the second quarter, the Company's financial services operations reported pre-tax income of $43 million, compared with prior year pre-tax income of $63 million. Pre-tax income for the period was impacted by the lower closing volumes in the Company’s homebuilding operations. Mortgage capture rate for the second quarter was 85%, compared with 86% last year.

The Company ended the quarter with $1.3 billion in cash and a debt-to-capital ratio of 11.4%.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 3.0 million of its outstanding common shares for $300 million, or an average price of $100.54 per share. Through the first six months of 2025, the Company has repurchased 5.8 million shares, or 3% of its common shares, for $600 million.

A conference call discussing PulteGroup's second quarter 2025 results is scheduled for Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Interested investors can access the live webcast via PulteGroup's corporate website at .

* The Company's return on equity is calculated as net income for the trailing twelve months divided by average shareholders' equity, where average shareholders' equity is the sum of ending shareholders' equity balances of the trailing five quarters divided by five.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains information about our debt-to-capital ratios. These measures could be considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC's rules and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, comparable GAAP financial measures. We calculate total net debt by subtracting total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash from notes payable to present the amount of assets needed to satisfy the debt. We use the debt-to-capital and net debt-to-capital ratios as indicators of our overall leverage and believe they are useful financial measures in understanding the leverage employed in our operations. We believe that these measures provide investors relevant and useful information for evaluating the comparability of financial information presented and comparing our profitability and liquidity to other companies in the homebuilding industry. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry report similar information, the methods used may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies in the homebuilding industry to calculate these measures and any adjustments thereto before comparing our measures to those of such other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the debt-to-capital ratios ($000's omitted):
