KB Home ( (KBH) ) has released its Q1 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information KB Home presented to its investors.
KB Home is a leading homebuilder in the United States, known for its commitment to sustainability and personalized homebuying experiences, offering energy-efficient homes across 49 markets.
In its first quarter of 2025, KB Home reported revenues of $1.39 billion and diluted earnings per share of $1.49, alongside a strategic move to repurchase $50 million of common stock. Despite a challenging market environment, the company remains focused on delivering value to its customers and shareholders.
Key financial metrics revealed a 5% decline in revenues compared to the previous year, with homes delivered decreasing by 9%. However, the average selling price increased by 4% to $500,700. The company faced a reduction in homebuilding operating income and a decrease in financial services pretax income, attributed to lower loan originations. Net orders fell by 17%, impacting the backlog value, which decreased by 21%.
Despite these challenges, KB Home expanded its community count by 7% and increased its investments in land and development significantly. The company also maintained strong liquidity with $1.25 billion available, positioning itself to navigate the current market conditions effectively.
Looking forward, KB Home is adjusting its revenue guidance for fiscal 2025, reflecting the first quarter’s net order performance. The management remains confident in its ability to adapt to market variability and continue delivering high customer satisfaction levels, aiming for housing revenues between $6.60 billion and $7.00 billion for the full year.
