LGI Homes, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results and Issues Guidance for 2026
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LGI Homes, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGIH) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.
“Our team delivered a solid finish to the year and further strengthened the foundation that supports our long-term growth plans,” said Eric Lipar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LGI Homes.
“During the quarter, we closed 1,362 homes, including 61 currently and previously leased homes. Of this total, 1,301 homes contributed directly to our reported revenue of $474.0 million. Supported by our strong performance in December, we averaged 3.1 closings per community per month in the fourth quarter, the highest pace of the year.
“Our self‑developed land position continued to provide structural margin support, helping offset the impact of financing incentives and price adjustments offered on older inventory. As a result, fourth-quarter adjusted gross margin was 22.3%.
“Fourth-quarter orders benefited from an agreement with a wholesale buyer to deliver 480 homes over the course of 2026, which contributed to a 133% increase in our backlog. Excluding that wholesale contract, backlog at year‑end was still up 53% compared to 2024.
“Looking ahead, our 2026 guidance reflects the conditions we are seeing in the market today and assumes they persist through the balance of the year. We are projecting full‑year home closings between 4,600 and 5,400, at an average sales price between $355,000 and $365,000 with gross margin expected to range between 18.0% and 20.0% and adjusted gross margin between 21.0% and 23.0%.”
Mr. Lipar concluded, “Throughout the year, we remained disciplined in our operations, rightsized inventory, and leveraged the cost advantages of our self‑developed land pipeline. As we move into 2026, we do so with resilience, focus, and a deep commitment to navigating the market with the same discipline that guided us throughout 2025. Our strategy remains focused on affordability and aligning with today’s homebuyer needs while maintaining the long‑term fundamentals that differentiate LGI Homes. I’m grateful for the dedication of our team and confident we are well‑positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the year ahead.”

2026 Outlook
Subject to the caveats in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release and the assumptions noted below, the Company is providing the following guidance for the full year 2026. The Company expects:
- Home closings between 4,600 and 5,400
- Active selling communities at the end of 2026 between 150 and 160
- Average sales price per home closed between $355,000 and $365,000
- Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues between 18.0% and 20.0%, adjusted for estimated capitalized interest and estimated purchase accounting of approximately 3.0%, which results in Adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of home sales revenues between 21.0% and 23.0%
- SG&A as a percentage of home sales revenues between 15.0% and 16.0%
- Effective tax rate of approximately 26.5%
This outlook assumes that general economic conditions, including input costs, materials, product and labor availability, interest rates, and mortgage availability, in the remainder of 2026 are similar to those experienced to date in 2026 and that the average sales price per home closed, construction costs, availability of land and land development costs for the remainder of 2026 are consistent with the Company’s recent experience. In addition, this outlook assumes that governmental regulations relating to land development and home construction are similar to those currently in place and does not take into account any additional changes to U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and duties on homebuilding products.

| (3) | Ending backlog consists of retail homes at the end of the period that are under a purchase contract that has been signed by homebuyers who have met preliminary financing criteria but have not yet closed and wholesale contracts with varying terms. Ending backlog is valued at the contract amount. |
| (4) | As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 506 units related to bulk sales agreements associated with its wholesale business. |
| (5) | As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 146 units related to bulk sales agreements associated with its wholesale business. |
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has provided information in this press release relating to adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, gross margin excluding inventory impairment, adjusted gross margin, and net debt to capital ratio.
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share
Adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income less inventory impairment charges. The Company defines adjusted basic earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average basic shares outstanding. The Company defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share provides useful information to investors because such measures isolate the impact that inventory impairment charges have on net income and earnings per share. However, because adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the inventory impairment charge, which has real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results, the utility of adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share as measures of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share should be considered only as supplements to net income, basic earnings per share, and diluted earnings per share, respectively, as measures of the Company’s performance.
The following table reconciles adjusted net income to net income, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable, and adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing adjusted net income by basic or diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

Gross Margin Excluding Inventory Impairment and Adjusted Gross Margin
Gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines gross margin excluding inventory impairment as gross margin less inventory impairment charges. The Company defines adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding inventory impairment, less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Management believes adjusted gross margin is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest, purchase accounting adjustments, and inventory impairment have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin excludes capitalized interest, purchase accounting adjustments, and inventory impairment, which have real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results, the utility of adjusted gross margin as a measure of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin should be considered only as supplements to gross margin as a measure of the Company’s performance.
The following table reconciles gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted gross margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

Net Debt to Capital Ratio
Net debt to capital ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations and as an indicator of its ability to obtain financing. The Company defines net debt to capital ratio as net debt (which is total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) divided by net debt plus total equity. Management believes that the presentation of net debt to capital ratio provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial leverage and its ability to meet long-term obligations. By excluding cash and cash equivalents from total debt, the ratio offers a clearer view of the Company’s capital structure and financial flexibility. Management uses this metric to monitor the Company’s capital efficiency and to evaluate the effectiveness of its capital management strategies over time. Other companies may define this measure differently and, as a result, the Company’s measure of net debt to capital ratio may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies.
The following table reconciles net debt to capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) to debt to capital ratio, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands, unaudited):
