Reports Q2 revenue $1.99B, consensus $1.84B. Net sales orders increased 3% to 3,111. “In the second quarter, our team delivered solid results, highlighted by both our closings volume and home closings gross margin exceeding our expectations. Following this strength, we now expect to deliver between 12,600 to 12,800 homes this year at a home closings gross margin around 24%. Most importantly, our performance and updated outlook once again reflect the overall strength and stability of our diversified consumer and geographic strategy.
