PULTEGROUP REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Reported Earnings Per Share of $2.56
Net New Orders Increased 4% to 6,428 Homes with a Value of $3.5 Billion
Closings of 7,821 Homes Generated Home Sale Revenues of $4.5 Billion
Home Sale Gross Margin of 24.7% Includes $35 Million, or 80 Basis Points, of Land Impairment Charges
Invested $1.4 Billion in Land Acquisition and Development and Repurchased $300 Million of Common Shares in the Quarter

ATLANTA – Jan. 29, 2026 – PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM) announced today financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $502 million, or $2.56 per share. Reported net income for the period includes: a pre-tax charge of $81 million, or $0.31 per share, associated with the intended divestiture of certain manufacturing assets; pre-tax land impairment charges totaling $35 million, or $0.14 per share; and a pre-tax insurance benefit of $34 million, or $0.13 per share. In the prior year period, the Company reported net income of $913 million, or $4.43 per share, inclusive of a pre-tax insurance benefit of $255 million, or $0.93 per share.

“PulteGroup’s fourth quarter and full year financial results reflect our balanced and disciplined approach to the business as we continue to successfully navigate today’s continuously shifting market dynamics,” said PulteGroup President and CEO, Ryan Marshall. “Inclusive of our strong fourth quarter results, in 2025 PulteGroup delivered 29,572 homes, $16.7 billion in home sale revenues and net income of $2.2 billion. We finished the year with $2.0 billion in cash, after investing $5.2 billion in land acquisition and development in 2025.

“While lower interest rates and more favorable pricing dynamics have worked to improve the overall affordability of new homes relative to a year ago, lagging consumer confidence continued to weigh on homebuyer demand in the quarter. Given these market dynamics, we remain focused on intelligently turning our assets, generating strong cash flows, and further developing a land pipeline that can routinely support community count growth of 3% to 5% annually.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Fourth quarter home sale revenues of $4.5 billion were 5% lower than the comparable prior year period. Home sale revenues for the quarter reflect a 3% decrease in closings to 7,821 homes, in combination with a 1% decrease in average sales price to $573,000.

The Company’s reported fourth quarter home sale gross margin of 24.7% includes $35 million, or 80 basis points, of land impairment charges recorded in the period. Prior year fourth quarter gross margin was 27.5%.

Reported fourth quarter homebuilding SG&A expense of $389 million, or 8.7% of home sale revenues, includes the insurance benefit of $34 million recorded in the period. Homebuilding SG&A expense in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $196 million, or 4.2% of home sale revenues, inclusive of an insurance benefit of $255 million.

In the quarter, the Company reported Other Expense of $99 million which includes the pre-tax charge of $81 million resulting from the intended divestiture of certain manufacturing assets.

Net new orders for the fourth quarter were 6,428 homes, which is an increase of 4% over the fourth quarter of 2024. The value of net new orders in the period was $3.5 billion, which is comparable with the prior year. Average community count for the fourth quarter was 1,014, which is an increase of 6% over the prior year.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company’s backlog totaled 8,495 homes with a value of $5.3 billion.

The Company's financial services operations generated fourth quarter pre-tax income of $35 million, which is down from $51 million in the comparable prior year period. Reported pre-tax income for the quarter was impacted by lower closing volumes and average selling prices in the Company’s homebuilding operations, as well as a decrease in mortgage capture rate to 84%, compared with 86% in the prior year.

In the fourth quarter, PulteGroup repurchased 2.4 million common shares for $300 million. For the full year, the Company repurchased a total of 10.6 million common shares, or 5.2% of shares outstanding, for $1.2 billion, or $112.76 per share. The Company ended the quarter with $2.0 billion of cash and a debt-to-capital ratio of 11.2%.

A conference call discussing PulteGroup's fourth quarter 2025 results is scheduled for Thursday, January 29, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Interested investors can access the live webcast via PulteGroup's corporate website at www.pultegroupinc.com.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

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):
