Revenues of $1.30 Billion; Diluted Earnings Per Share of $1.05
Repurchased $50.0 Million of Common Stock
LOS ANGELES (September 22, 2026) — KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today reported results for its third quarter ended August 31, 2026.
“We are operating in a housing market that continues to be challenging, with conditions weakening since our June earnings report. Higher mortgage interest rates have further pressured affordability and, together with geopolitical uncertainty and broader economic headwinds, have caused many prospective buyers to be more cautious on purchasing a home,” said Jeffrey Mezger, Executive Chairman. “Against this backdrop, we produced third quarter financial results that reflected solid sequential improvement.”
“We also made significant progress and have now achieved our goal of returning to a predominantly Built to Order business, with BTO homes representing nearly three-quarters of our deliveries in the third quarter, which contributed to our sequentially higher housing gross profit margin,” said Robert McGibney, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we generated year-over-year community count growth. This reflects a significant number of new community openings over the past year that will help support our sales efforts going forward, along with a continued focus on balancing price and pace for the best possible return.”
“Looking ahead to the remainder of this fiscal year, we continue to expect our full-year deliveries, housing revenues and margins to be within the ranges we last provided. We remain committed to enhancing long-term shareholder value through both our performance and our balanced approach to capital allocation, with the financial capacity to continue investing in our future growth and rewarding shareholders through our ongoing repurchase program and long-standing quarterly dividend,” concluded Mezger.
Three Months Ended August 31, 2026 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)
•Revenues were down 20% to $1.30 billion.
•Homes delivered decreased 19% to 2,732.
•Average selling price was $473,000, compared to $475,700.
•Homebuilding operating income was $67.1 million, compared to $131.2 million. The homebuilding operating income margin was 5.2%, compared to 8.1%, due to a lower housing gross profit margin and a higher selling, general and administrative expense ratio. Excluding inventory-related charges of $3.0 million for the current quarter and $11.3 million for the year-earlier quarter, the homebuilding operating income margin was 5.4%, compared to 8.8%.
◦The housing gross profit margin was 16.5%, compared to 18.2%. Excluding the above-mentioned inventory-related charges, the housing gross profit margin was 16.8%, compared to 18.9%, primarily reflecting continued pricing pressure, higher relative land costs and reduced operating leverage.
◦Selling, general and administrative expenses were 11.3% of housing revenues, compared to 10.0%, mainly due to a decrease in operating leverage, partly offset by lower costs associated with certain performance-based employee compensation plans and personnel reductions.
•Financial services pretax income totaled $7.4 million, compared to $8.7 million, primarily reflecting lower results from title and insurance operations.
•Pretax income totaled $81.2 million, including a $3.5 million gain on the sale of an equity investment in a privately held technology company, compared to $143.2 million.
•Net income was $65.3 million, compared to $109.8 million, with an effective tax rate of 19.6%, compared to 23.3%. The lower effective tax rate was mainly due to the impact of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the current period. Diluted earnings per share was $1.05, compared to $1.61, reflecting current quarter net income, partly offset by the favorable impact of the Company’s common stock repurchases.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 2026 (comparisons on a year-over-year basis)
•Revenues totaled $3.49 billion, compared to $4.54 billion.
•Homes delivered of 7,497 were down 19%.

◦Monthly net orders per community were 3.1, compared to 3.8.
◦The cancellation rate as a percentage of gross orders was 18%, compared to 17%.

Revenues of $1.11 Billion; Diluted Earnings Per Share of $.43
Repurchased $75.0 Million of Common Stock
LOS ANGELES (June 23, 2026) — KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today reported results for its second quarter ended May 31, 2026.
“We produced solid second-quarter results that met or exceeded the mid-point of our key guidance ranges,” said Jeffrey Mezger, Executive Chairman. “Our return to a predominantly Built to Order business model continued to gain momentum, with these homes representing 73% of our net orders in the quarter, progress that we believe supports stronger, more sustainable performance over time and across market cycles.”
“Operationally, our teams continued to execute well and generated meaningful results, achieving 35 new community openings, at the high end of our projection, and reducing our build times by more than a full week sequentially from home start to home completion,” said Robert McGibney, President and Chief Executive Officer. “At the same time, we remained disciplined as we continued to successfully navigate a difficult and fluid market environment, balancing pace and price while tightly managing costs.”
“The progress in our second quarter sets the foundation for the remainder of fiscal 2026, with sequentially higher delivery volumes and gross margins projected for each of the final two quarters. We remain committed to increasing shareholder value through improved performance, as well as our continued focus on operational excellence, strong financial flexibility and ongoing balanced approach to capital allocation,” concluded Mezger.

•Homebuilding operating income was $28.2 million, compared to $131.5 million. The homebuilding operating income margin was 2.5%, compared to 8.6%, due to a lower housing gross profit margin and higher selling, general and administrative expense ratio. Excluding inventory-related charges of $5.6 million for both the current quarter and the year-earlier quarter, homebuilding operating income was 3.0%, compared to 9.0%.
◦The housing gross profit margin was 15.2%, compared to 19.3%. Excluding the above-mentioned inventory-related charges, the housing gross profit margin was 15.7%, compared to 19.7%, primarily reflecting price reductions, higher relative land costs and reduced operating leverage.
◦Selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.7% of housing revenues, compared to 10.7%, mainly due to a decrease in operating leverage.
•Financial services pretax income totaled $6.7 million, compared to $8.2 million, primarily due to lower equity in income from the Company’s mortgage banking joint venture. The joint venture’s results mainly reflected reduced loan origination volume driven by fewer homes delivered.
•Net income was $27.3 million, compared to $107.9 million. Diluted earnings per share was $.43, compared to $1.50, reflecting current quarter net income, partly offset by the favorable impact of the Company’s common stock repurchases.

Revenues of $1.08 Billion; Diluted Earnings Per Share of $.52
Repurchased $50.0 Million of Common Stock
LOS ANGELES (March 24, 2026) — KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today reported results for its first quarter ended February 28, 2026.
“With solid traffic in our communities, we generated year-over-year net order growth in our first quarter,” said Jeffrey Mezger, Executive Chairman. “In addition, we are now achieving our targeted mix of Built to Order net orders. Our renewed focus on our core Built to Order strategy, combined with an anticipated favorable regional mix of homes delivered, as well as operating leverage from higher delivery volumes, is expected to contribute to stronger financial results in the second half of fiscal 2026.”
“Our teams continued to execute well, particularly in the critical areas of new community openings and build times. We expect to reach our peak community count for the year within the second quarter at the height of the Spring selling season, which enhances our ability to drive net orders,” said Robert McGibney, President and Chief Executive Officer. “At the same time, our ongoing success in reducing build times enables us to convert our backlog to deliveries more quickly than we have in many years.”
“Concerns surrounding the conflict in the Middle East have introduced an additional layer of uncertainty for consumers who were already working through numerous challenges. Still, we believe we are well positioned to navigate the current environment, with the distinct personalized homebuilding experience we offer, strong financial flexibility, and a disciplined, balanced approach to capital allocation,” concluded Mezger.

•Revenues were down 23% to $1.08 billion.

•Homebuilding operating income was $33.0 million, compared to $127.3 million.

Inventory-related charges totaled $2.2 million for the current quarter and $1.5 million for the year-earlier quarter.
◦The housing gross profit margin was 15.3%, compared to 20.2%. Excluding the above-mentioned inventory-related charges, the housing gross profit margin was 15.5%, compared to 20.3%, primarily reflecting price reductions, higher relative land costs, product and geographic mix, and reduced operating leverage.
◦Selling, general and administrative expenses, which included $8.0 million of insurance recoveries in the current quarter, were 12.2% of housing revenues, compared to 11.0%. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to a decrease in operating leverage, partly offset by the favorable impact of the insurance recoveries.
•Financial services pretax income totaled $5.5 million, compared to $7.5 million, mostly due to lower equity in income from the Company’s mortgage banking joint venture, partially offset by higher insurance commission revenues. The mortgage banking joint venture’s results primarily reflected a lower volume of loan originations, largely resulting from fewer homes delivered.
•Net income was $33.4 million, compared to $109.6 million. Diluted earnings per share was $.52, compared to $1.49, reflecting current quarter net income, partly offset by the favorable impact of the Company’s common stock repurchases.
