Beazer Homes Reports Q2 Earnings Surpass Expectations Amid Profit Decline

Beazer Homes reported second quarter fiscal 2025 results that showed revenue growth but a sharp decline in profitability due to ongoing housing market challenges and higher expenses. The company’s adjusted earnings per share of $0.42 beat analyst expectations, though net income fell significantly year-over-year to $12.8 million. While home closings and community count increased, new home orders and sales pace declined, reflecting weaker demand and macroeconomic headwinds. Gross margins compressed and SG&A expenses rose, leading to a notable drop in operating income and EBITDA. In response, Beazer announced a new $100 million share repurchase authorization and adjusted its multi-year goals, including deferring targets for community count growth and deleveraging. Despite current headwinds, management remains optimistic about long-term demand for new homes and is focused on shareholder value through capital allocation and strategic initiatives.
