Forestar Group Inc. reported a consolidated revenue of $374.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, marking an increase of 6.5% from $351.0 million in the same period last year. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, total revenues reached $647.3 million, up 7.7% from $601.3 million in the prior year. The company's net income attributable to Forestar was $32.1 million for the three months, slightly higher than $31.6 million in the previous year, while net income for the six months was $47.5 million, down from $48.1 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were both $0.63, compared to $0.62 in the prior year.
The company experienced a 15% decrease in total residential lots sold during the six months ended March 31, 2026, with 4,882 lots sold compared to 5,744 in the same period last year. However, the average sales price per lot increased by 12%, contributing to a 5% decrease in total residential lot sales revenues. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by a significant rise in tract sales and other revenues, which totaled $80.7 million for the six months, compared to $7.1 million in the prior year.
Forestar's operational metrics indicate a strategic focus on land acquisition and development, with the company investing $156.2 million in residential real estate acquisitions and $537.8 million in development during the first half of fiscal 2026. The company’s total assets increased to $3.17 billion as of March 31, 2026, from $3.14 billion at the end of the previous fiscal year. The company’s debt decreased slightly to $793.5 million from $802.7 million, reflecting a continued focus on managing leverage, with a debt-to-capital ratio of 30.4%.
Looking ahead, Forestar remains cautious about market conditions, particularly regarding affordability constraints and consumer sentiment affecting new home demand. The company plans to continue developing lots for homes at affordable price points while managing pricing and sales pace to optimize returns. Forestar's strategic relationship with D.R. Horton, which owns approximately 62% of the company, is expected to play a significant role in guiding its operations and market positioning. The company is well-capitalized with $362.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $672.1 million in available borrowing capacity, positioning it to navigate potential market fluctuations effectively.
