The company generated consolidated revenues of $34.3 billion, a 7% decline from $36.8 billion in the previous fiscal year. Pre-tax income also fell by 25% to $4.7 billion, with net income decreasing to $3.6 billion from $4.8 billion. The diluted earnings per share were reported at $11.57, down from $14.34 in fiscal 2024. The decrease in revenue and profitability was attributed to ongoing affordability constraints and cautious consumer sentiment affecting new home demand.
In terms of operational metrics, D.R. Horton closed 84,863 homes during fiscal 2025, a 5% decrease from the previous year. The average closing price of homes was $370,400, reflecting a 2% decline.

The sales order backlog at the end of the fiscal year was valued at $4.1 billion, representing a 14% decrease from $4.8 billion in fiscal 2024.
Strategically, D.R. Horton continued to focus on its core homebuilding operations, which accounted for 92% of consolidated revenues. The company also maintained a significant relationship with Forestar Group Inc., a residential lot development company in which it owns a 62% stake. Forestar sold 14,240 lots in fiscal 2025, with 83% of those sales going to D.R. Horton. The company’s rental operations, which include single-family and multi-family rental properties, closed 3,460 single-family rental homes and 2,947 multi-family rental units, although rental revenues decreased to $1.6 billion from $1.7 billion.
Looking ahead, D.R. Horton plans to manage its home pricing, sales incentives, and inventory levels in response to market conditions. The company expects to maintain elevated sales incentives to support demand, particularly in light of rising mortgage interest rates. D.R. Horton’s strong balance sheet and liquidity position are seen as advantageous for navigating changing economic conditions, with a focus on optimizing returns on inventory investments across its diverse geographic markets. The company remains committed to enhancing shareholder value through strategic investments and share repurchase programs, having repurchased 30.7 million shares at a total cost of $4.3 billion during fiscal 2025.
