ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this quarterly report and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis constitutes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those described in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section following this discussion.
BUSINESS
D.R. Horton, Inc. is the largest homebuilding company in the United States as measured by number of homes closed. We construct and sell homes through our operating divisions in 126 markets across 36 states. Our common stock is included in the S&P 500 Index and listed on the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Texas under the ticker symbol “DHI.” Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “D.R. Horton,” the “Company,” “we” and “our” used herein refer to D.R. Horton, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its predecessors and subsidiaries.
Our business operations consist of homebuilding, rental, a majority-owned residential lot development company, financial services and other activities. Homebuilding is our core business and primarily includes the construction and sale of single-family homes with sales prices generally ranging from $200,000 to more than $1,000,000, with an average closing price of $362,900 during the nine months ended June 30, 2026. Approximately 85% of our home sales revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was generated from the sale of single-family detached homes, with the remainder from the sale of attached homes, such as townhomes and duplexes.
We have closed 1.3 million homes during our 47-year history, and we have been the largest volume homebuilder in the United States every year since 2002. Our product offerings include a broad range of homes for entry-level, move-up, active adult and luxury buyers.
Our rental segment consists of single-family and multi-family rental operations. Single-family rental operations construct homes within single-family rental (build-to-rent) communities and then either sell homes to an investor as they are completed or lease the homes and market the entire community for a bulk sale. Multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties, the substantial majority of which are apartment communities.
At June 30, 2026, we owned 62% of the outstanding shares of Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar), a publicly traded residential lot development company listed on the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Texas under the ticker symbol “FOR.” Forestar operates across many of our homebuilding operating markets and is a key part of our homebuilding strategy to maintain relationships with land developers and control a large portion of our land and lot position through land purchase contracts.
Our financial services operations provide mortgage financing and title agency services to homebuyers in many of our homebuilding markets. DHI Mortgage, our wholly owned subsidiary, provides mortgage financing services primarily to our homebuyers and sells substantially all of the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers after origination. Our wholly owned subsidiary title companies issue title insurance policies and provide examination, underwriting and closing services primarily to our homebuilding customers.
In addition to our homebuilding, rental, Forestar and financial services operations, we engage in other business activities through our subsidiaries. We conduct insurance-related operations, own water rights and other water-related assets and own non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements. The results of these operations are immaterial for separate reporting and therefore are grouped together and presented as other.

OVERVIEW
During the nine months ended June 30, 2026, we closed 61,287 homes compared to 61,495 homes in the prior year period. Our home sales revenues decreased 3% and our consolidated revenues decreased 4% to $23.7 billion in the nine months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $24.6 billion in the prior year period. Our pre-tax income was $2.9 billion in the nine months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $3.5 billion in the prior year period, and pre-tax operating margin was 12.2% compared to 14.4%. Net income was $2.2 billion in the nine months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $2.7 billion in the prior year period, and diluted earnings per share were $7.45 compared to $8.53.
In the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, our return on equity (ROE) was 12.8% compared to 16.1% in the prior year period, and return on assets (ROA) was 8.5% compared to 11.1%. ROE is calculated as net income attributable to D.R. Horton for the trailing twelve months divided by average stockholders’ equity, where average stockholders’ equity is the sum of ending stockholders’ equity balances for the trailing five quarters divided by five. ROA is calculated as net income attributable to D.R. Horton for the trailing twelve months divided by average consolidated assets, where average consolidated assets is the sum of total asset balances for the trailing five quarters divided by five.
T1During the third quarter, new home demand continued to be impacted by affordability constraints and cautious consumer sentiment. Our net sales orders and the value of those orders increased slightly compared to the prior year quarter. Home sales revenues increased 1% compared to the prior year quarter. T2Home sales gross margin was 20.7% for the third quarter, compared to 21.8% in the prior year quarter, reflecting the decline in our average sales price and higher sales incentives, including mortgage interest rate buydowns offered to support affordability for our homebuyers. T3We remain well positioned with our affordable product offerings and controlled lot supply, and we continue to manage home pricing, sales incentives and inventory levels based on demand within our local markets.
T4We currently expect sales incentives to remain elevated during the remainder of fiscal 2026 and into fiscal 2027, and we will continue to adjust incentive levels based on changes in market conditions and mortgage interest rates.
We remain focused on our relationships with land developers across the country to maximize returns and capital efficiency. Within our homebuilding land and lot portfolio, lots controlled through purchase contracts represented 78% of the lots owned and controlled at June 30, 2026 compared to 75% at September 30, 2025 and 76% at June 30, 2025. We continue to prioritize the purchase of finished lots from Forestar and other land developers when possible. During the nine months ended June 30, 2026, 67% of the homes we closed were on lots developed by either Forestar or a third party compared to 65% in the prior year period.
Our strong balance sheet and liquidity provide us with flexibility to operate effectively through changing economic conditions. We plan to continue to generate strong cash flows from our operations and manage our product offerings, incentives, home pricing, sales pace and inventory levels to optimize the return on our inventory investments in each of our communities based on local housing market conditions.

STRATEGY
Our operating strategy focuses on consistently enhancing long-term value to our shareholders by leveraging our financial and competitive positions to maximize the returns on our inventory investments and generate strong profits and cash flows from operations, while managing risk and maintaining financial flexibility to navigate changing economic conditions. Our strategy includes the following initiatives:
•Developing and retaining highly experienced and productive teams of personnel that are aligned and focused on continuous improvement in our operational execution and financial performance.
•Maintaining a significant cash balance and strong overall liquidity position while controlling our level of debt.
•Allocating and actively managing our inventory investments across our operating markets to diversify our geographic risk.
•Offering new home communities that appeal to a broad range of entry-level, move-up, active adult and luxury homebuyers based on consumer demand in each market.
•Executing sales and marketing strategies to drive traffic, generate demand and optimize sales pace across our communities.
•Modifying product offerings, sales pace, home prices and incentives as necessary in each of our markets to meet consumer demand and maintain affordability.
•Delivering high quality homes and a positive experience to our customers both during and after the sale.
•Managing our inventory of homes under construction relative to demand in each of our markets, including starting construction on unsold homes to capture new home demand and actively controlling the number of unsold completed homes in inventory.
•Investing in lots, land and land development in desirable markets, while controlling the level of land and lots we own in each market relative to the local new home demand.
•Controlling a significant portion of our land and finished lot position through purchase contracts and prioritizing the purchase of finished lots from Forestar and other land developers when possible.
•Controlling the cost of labor and goods provided by subcontractors and vendors.
•Improving the efficiency of our land development, construction and other key operational activities.
•Controlling our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense infrastructure to match production levels.
•Ensuring that our financial services business provides high quality mortgage and title services to homebuyers efficiently and effectively.
•Investing in our rental operations to meet rental demand in high growth suburban markets and selling properties profitably.
•Opportunistically evaluating potential acquisitions to enhance our operating platform.
We believe our operating strategy, which has produced positive results in recent years, will allow us to successfully operate through changing economic conditions and maintain our strong financial performance and competitive position. However, we cannot provide any assurance that the initiatives listed above will continue to be successful, and we may need to adjust parts of our strategy to meet future market conditions.

Net Sales Orders
The value of net sales orders was $8.4 billion (23,084 homes) and $24.3 billion (66,376 homes) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $8.4 billion (23,071 homes) and $23.4 billion (63,345 homes) in the prior year periods. Comparing the three month periods, the number, value and average selling price of homes sold were essentially unchanged.
In the nine month period, the increase in the value of net sales orders was attributable to a 5% increase in sales order volume. The highest percentage increase was in the North region where the Pittsburgh and Ohio markets contributed most to the increase. In the Northwest region where sales order volume decreased, the Seattle and Salt Lake City markets contributed most to the decrease.
During the third quarter, new home demand continued to be impacted by affordability constraints and cautious consumer sentiment. We remain well positioned with our affordable product offerings and controlled lot supply, and we continue to manage home pricing, sales incentives and inventory levels based on demand within our local markets.

Home Sales Revenue
Revenues from home sales were $8.7 billion (23,983 homes) and $22.2 billion (61,287 homes) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $8.6 billion (23,160 homes) and $22.9 billion (61,495 homes) in the prior year periods.
The number of homes closed increased 4% in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year period. In regions where homes closed increased, the markets contributing most to the increase were the Phoenix market in the Southwest, the Houston market in the South Central, the Atlanta market in the East and the Pittsburgh market in the North. These increases in volume were largely offset by decreases in the average selling price, particularly in the Northwest and South Central regions.
The number of homes closed was essentially unchanged in the nine months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year period due to offsetting fluctuations between the regions. Home sales revenues decreased due to decreases in the average selling price, particularly in the South Central region.

Home Sales Gross Profit
Gross profit from home sales decreased to $1.8 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $1.9 billion in the prior year period and decreased 110 basis points to 20.7% as a percentage of home sales revenues. The percentage decrease resulted from a decrease of 110 basis points due to the average cost of our homes closed increasing along with a decrease in the average selling price of those homes and 10 basis points due to an increase in the amortization of capitalized interest. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of 10 basis points due to lower warranty and construction defect costs.
Gross profit from home sales decreased to $4.5 billion in the nine months ended June 30, 2026 from $5.1 billion in the prior year period and decreased 170 basis points to 20.4% as a percentage of home sales revenues. The percentage decrease resulted from a decrease of 190 basis points due to the average cost of our homes closed increasing along with a decrease in the average selling price of those homes and 10 basis points due to an increase in the amortization of capitalized interest. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of 30 basis points due to a favorable litigation outcome and lower warranty costs.
We remain focused on managing the pricing, incentives and sales pace in each of our communities to optimize the returns on our inventory investments and adjust to local market conditions and new home demand. To adjust to changes in market conditions during recent years, we have used a higher level of incentives and reduced home prices and sizes of our home offerings where necessary to provide better affordability to homebuyers. We currently expect sales incentives to remain elevated during the remainder of fiscal 2026 and into fiscal 2027, and we will continue to adjust incentive levels based on changes in market conditions and mortgage interest rates.
Land/Lot Sales and Other Revenues
Land/lot sales and other revenues from our homebuilding operations were $4.3 million and $38.2 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $19.8 million and $63.1 million in the prior year periods.
We continually evaluate our land and lot supply, and fluctuations in revenues and profitability from land sales occur based on how we manage our inventory levels in various markets. We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes on them. However, some of the land that we purchase includes commercially zoned parcels that we may sell to commercial developers. We may also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our supply or for other strategic reasons. As of June 30, 2026, our homebuilding operations had $31.7 million of land held for sale that we expect to sell in the next twelve months.
Inventory and Land Option Charges
At the end of each quarter, we review the performance and outlook for all of our communities and land inventories for indicators of potential impairment and perform detailed impairment evaluations and analyses when necessary. As a result of this review, there were $3.7 million and $6.7 million of impairment charges recorded in our homebuilding segment during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $15.9 million and $23.3 million in the prior year periods.
38
Table of Contents
As we manage our inventory investments across our operating markets to optimize returns and cash flows, we may modify our pricing and incentives, construction and development plans or land sale strategies in individual active communities and land held for development, which could result in the affected communities being evaluated for potential impairment. If the housing market or economic conditions are adversely affected for a prolonged period, we may be required to evaluate additional communities for potential impairment. These evaluations could result in impairment charges which could be significant.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs related to our homebuilding segment’s land purchase contracts that we have terminated or expect to terminate were $17.3 million and $50.0 million, respectively, compared to $36.0 million and $69.9 million in the prior year periods.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expense
Homebuilding SG&A expense was $720.6 million and $2.0 billion in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $670.0 million and $1.9 billion in the prior year periods. As a percentage of homebuilding revenues, SG&A expense was 8.3% and 9.0% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 7.8% and 8.5% in the prior year periods.
Employee compensation and related costs were $560.6 million and $1.5 billion in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $532.3 million and $1.5 billion in the prior year periods. These costs represented 78% and 76% of SG&A costs in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 79% and 78% in the prior year periods. Our homebuilding operations employed 9,997 and 10,190 people at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
We attempt to control our homebuilding SG&A costs while ensuring that our infrastructure adequately supports our operations; however, we cannot make assurances that we will be able to maintain or improve upon the current SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues.
Interest Incurred
We capitalize interest costs incurred to inventory during active development and construction (active inventory). Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is delivered to the buyer. T7Interest incurred by our homebuilding operations increased 40% to $43.3 million and 52% to $106.4 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $31.0 million and $69.8 million in the prior year periods. The increases were primarily due to increases in the weighted average interest rate of homebuilding debt outstanding in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, as well as an increase of 26% in the average amount of that debt in both periods.
Interest charged to cost of sales was 0.5% of homebuilding cost of sales (excluding inventory and land option charges) in both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 0.4% in both prior year periods.
Other Income
Other income, net of other expenses, included in our homebuilding operations was $9.6 million and $37.9 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $36.0 million and $83.0 million in the prior year periods. Other income consists of interest income and various other types of ancillary income, gains, expenses and losses not directly associated with sales of homes, land and lots. The activities that result in this ancillary income are not significant, either individually or in the aggregate.
Business Acquisition
In October 2025, we acquired the homebuilding operations of SK Builders for approximately $80 million in cash. SK Builders operates in and around Greenville, South Carolina. The assets acquired included approximately 160 homes in inventory, 260 lots and a sales order backlog of 110 homes. Through the acquisition, we also obtained control of approximately 1,320 additional lots through land purchase contracts.

HOMEBUILDING INVENTORIES, LAND AND LOT POSITION AND HOMES IN INVENTORY
We routinely enter into contracts to purchase land or developed residential lots at predetermined prices on a defined schedule commensurate with planned development or anticipated new home demand. At the time of purchase, the undeveloped land is generally vested with the rights to begin development or construction work, and we plan and coordinate the development of our land into residential lots for use in our homebuilding business. We manage our inventory of owned land and lots and homes under construction relative to demand in each of our markets, including starting construction on unsold homes to capture new home demand and actively controlling the number of unsold, completed homes in inventory.
Our homebuilding segment’s inventories at June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025 are summarized as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - RENTAL
Our rental segment consists of single-family and multi-family rental operations. Single-family rental operations construct homes within single-family rental (build-to-rent) communities and then either sell homes to an investor as they are completed or lease the homes and market the entire community for a bulk sale. Multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties, with a primary focus on constructing garden style apartment communities in high growth suburban markets. Single-family and multi-family rental property sales are recognized as revenues, and rental income is recognized as other income. The following tables provide further information regarding our rental operations as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Revenues from our rental operations decreased to $266.1 million and $587.4 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, from $380.7 million and $835.0 million in the prior year periods. Pre-tax income was $31.0 million and $43.5 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $54.8 million and $89.4 million in the prior year periods. The decline in pre-tax income for both periods was due to a decrease in single-family revenues due to fewer homes closed, as well as a decrease in the gross profit percentage on both single-family and multi-family closings. A decrease in multi-family units closed also contributed to the decline in pre-tax income in the nine month period.
At June 30, 2026, our rental property inventory of $3.1 billion included $320.5 million of single-family rental inventory and $2.7 billion of multi-family rental inventory. At September 30, 2025, our rental property inventory of $2.7 billion included $378.3 million of single-family rental inventory and $2.3 billion of multi-family rental inventory. Single-family rental homes and lots and multi-family rental units at June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025 consisted of the following:

Table of Contents
Mortgage Loan Activity
DHI Mortgage’s primary focus is to originate loans for our homebuilding operations, and those loan originations account for substantially all of its total loan volume. In the three months ended June 30, 2026, the volume of first-lien loans originated or brokered by DHI Mortgage for our homebuyers increased 5% primarily due to an increase of 4% in the number of homes closed by our homebuilding operations. In the nine months ended June 30, 2026, the volume of loan originations and homes closed were essentially unchanged from the prior year period. The percentage of homes closed for which DHI Mortgage handled our homebuyers’ financing was 82% and 81% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 81% and 80% in the prior year periods.
The number of loans sold increased 5% and decreased 1% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Substantially all mortgage loans held for sale on June 30, 2026 were eligible for sale to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae). During the nine months ended June 30, 2026, approximately 74% of our mortgage loans were sold directly to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or into securities backed by Ginnie Mae, and 18% were sold to one other major financial entity. Changes in market conditions could result in a greater concentration of our mortgage sales in future periods to fewer financial entities and directly to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, and we may need to make other adjustments to our mortgage operations.
Financial Services Revenues and Expenses
Total loan origination volume increased 5% and increased slightly in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Revenues from our mortgage operations decreased 5% to $169.1 million and $462.1 million, respectively, from $177.2 million and $488.1 million in the prior year periods, primarily due to reduced profit margin on loans sold. Revenues from our title operations were $51.6 million and $136.1 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $50.6 million and $134.9 million in the prior year periods.
General and administrative (G&A) expense related to our financial services operations was $172.1 million and $477.0 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $171.0 million and $485.4 million in the prior year periods. As a percentage of financial services revenues, G&A expense was 78.0% and 79.7%, respectively, compared to 75.1% and 77.9% in the prior year periods. Fluctuations in financial services G&A expense as a percentage of revenues can occur because some components of revenue fluctuate differently than loan volumes, and some expenses are not directly related to mortgage loan volume or to changes in the amount of revenue earned. Our financial services operations employed 2,862 and 2,989 people at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Other income, net of other expense, included in our financial services operations consists primarily of the interest income of our mortgage subsidiary. Other income decreased 11% to $21.7 million and 10% to $58.8 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, from $24.5 million and $65.4 million in the prior year periods, primarily due to a decrease in interest income because of lower interest rates on our loan originations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - OTHER BUSINESSES
In addition to our homebuilding, rental, Forestar and financial services operations, we engage in other business activities through our subsidiaries. We conduct insurance-related operations, own water rights and other water-related assets and own non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements. The pre-tax income of all of our subsidiaries engaged in other business activities was $9.0 million and $26.7 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $5.9 million and $28.6 million in the prior year periods.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONSOLIDATED
Income before Income Taxes
Pre-tax income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.2 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, compared to $1.4 billion and $3.5 billion in the prior year periods. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in the pre-tax income of our homebuilding operations.
Income Taxes
Our income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 was $307.5 million and $713.5 million, respectively, compared to $325.0 million and $831.0 million in the prior year periods. Our effective tax rate was 25.1% and 24.7% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 23.9% and 23.5% in the prior year periods. The effective tax rates for all periods include an expense for state income taxes and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and federal energy efficient home tax credits.
At June 30, 2026, we had deferred tax liabilities, net of deferred tax assets, of $43.4 million, after consideration of a valuation allowance of $14.6 million recorded against certain deferred tax assets. At September 30, 2025, we had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, of $44.5 million, after consideration of a valuation allowance of $14.6 million recorded against certain deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance for both periods relates to deferred tax assets for state net operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carryforwards that are expected to expire before being realized. We will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to our remaining state NOL and tax credit carryforwards. Reversal of any portion of the valuation allowance in future periods would impact our effective tax rate.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
We have historically funded our operations with cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under bank credit facilities and the issuance of new debt securities. Our current levels of cash, borrowing capacity and balance sheet leverage provide us with the operational flexibility to adjust to changes in economic and market conditions.
We continue to invest in our homebuilding and rental inventories to expand our operations and consolidate market share. We are also returning capital to shareholders through repurchases of our common stock and dividend payments. We are maintaining significant homebuilding cash balances and liquidity to support the scale and level of activity in our business and to provide flexibility to adjust to changing market conditions and opportunities.
At June 30, 2026, we had outstanding notes payable with varying maturities totaling an aggregate principal amount of $7.1 billion. $2.6 billion was payable within 12 months, which includes $1.8 billion outstanding under our mortgage repurchase facilities and $600 million principal amount of 1.3% homebuilding senior notes maturing in October 2026.
At June 30, 2026, our ratio of debt to total capital (notes payable divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable) was 23.0% compared to 19.8% at September 30, 2025 and 23.2% at June 30, 2025. Our net debt to total capital (notes payable net of cash divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable net of cash) was 17.4% at June 30, 2026 compared to 11.0% at September 30, 2025 and 16.2% at June 30, 2025. Over the long term, we intend to maintain our ratio of debt to total capital around 20%.
At June 30, 2026, we had outstanding letters of credit of $285.4 million and surety bonds of $3.4 billion issued by third parties to secure performance under various contracts. We expect that our performance obligations secured by these letters of credit and bonds will generally be completed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. When we complete our performance obligations, the related letters of credit and bonds are generally released shortly thereafter, leaving us with no continuing obligations. We have no material third-party guarantees.
We regularly assess our projected capital requirements to fund growth in our business, repay debt obligations, pay dividends, repurchase our common stock and maintain sufficient cash and liquidity levels to support our other operational needs, and we regularly evaluate our opportunities to raise additional capital. D.R. Horton has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July 2024, registering debt and equity securities that may be issued from time to time in amounts to be determined. Forestar also has an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC in September 2024, registering $750 million of equity securities, of which $300 million is reserved for sales under its at-the-market equity offering (ATM) program that was entered into in November 2024.
As market conditions permit, we may issue new debt or equity securities through the capital markets or obtain additional bank financing to fund our projected capital requirements or provide additional liquidity. We believe that our existing cash resources, revolving credit facilities, mortgage repurchase facilities and ability to access the capital markets or obtain additional bank financing will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our near-term working capital needs and debt obligations for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter.
Capital Resources - Homebuilding
Cash and Cash Equivalents — At June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents of our homebuilding segment totaled $1.3 billion.
Bank Credit Facility — We have a senior unsecured homebuilding revolving credit facility that was amended in March 2026 to increase its capacity from $2.3 billion to $3.3 billion. The amendment also extended the maturity dates of the facility. Of the total commitments, $265 million matures on October 28, 2027, $1.0 billion matures on March 27, 2029 and $2.0 billion matures on March 27, 2031. The facility has an uncommitted accordion feature that allows for an increase in its size to $4.0 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to 100% of the total revolving credit commitments.
Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. At June 30, 2026, there were $500 million of borrowings outstanding at a 4.5% annual interest rate and $240.3 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $2.6 billion.

Our homebuilding revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on our operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a maximum allowable leverage ratio and a borrowing base restriction if our leverage ratio exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. The credit agreement governing the facility imposes restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens.
Public Unsecured Debt — At June 30, 2026, we had $3.0 billion principal amount of homebuilding senior notes outstanding that mature from October 2026 through October 2035. The indenture governing our senior notes imposes restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens.
Compliance and Guarantors — At June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of our homebuilding revolving credit facility and public debt obligations.

At June 30, 2026, there were $820 million of borrowings outstanding at a 5.4% annual interest rate and no letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in available capacity of $230 million.
The rental revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require DRH Rental to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly.

Capital Resources - Forestar
Forestar’s achievement of its long-term growth objectives will depend on its ability to obtain financing and generate sufficient cash flows from operations.

At June 30, 2026, Forestar’s ratio of debt to total capital (notes payable divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable) was 30.0% compared to 31.2% at September 30, 2025 and 34.2% at June 30, 2025.

The Forestar revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require Forestar to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio.

Mortgage Repurchase Facilities — Our mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has two mortgage repurchase facilities, one of which is committed and the other of which is uncommitted, that provide financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to counterparties upon receipt of funds from the counterparties. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facilities.
In May 2026, the committed mortgage repurchase facility was amended to increase its capacity to $1.925 billion and extend its maturity date to May 4, 2029. The capacity of the facility can be increased to $2.0 billion subject to the availability of additional commitments. At June 30, 2026, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $1.5 billion under the committed mortgage repurchase facility at a 5.6% annual interest rate.
At June 30, 2026, the uncommitted mortgage repurchase facility had a borrowing capacity of $500 million, of which DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $301.1 million at a 4.9% annual interest rate.
At June 30, 2026, $2.74 billion of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $2.69 billion were pledged under the committed mortgage repurchase facility, and $332.6 million of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $310.0 million were pledged under the uncommitted mortgage repurchase facility.
The mortgage repurchase facilities contain financial covenants as to the mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio and its minimum required liquidity.
In the past, DHI Mortgage has been able to renew or extend its committed mortgage repurchase facility at a sufficient capacity and on satisfactory terms prior to its maturity and obtain temporary additional commitments through amendments to the facility during periods of higher-than-normal volumes of mortgages held for sale. The liquidity of our financial services business depends upon its continued ability to renew and extend the committed mortgage repurchase facility, utilize the uncommitted mortgage repurchase facility or obtain other additional financing in sufficient capacities.
Compliance and Guarantors — At June 30, 2026, DHI Mortgage was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facilities. The mortgage repurchase facilities are not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the debt of our homebuilding, rental or Forestar operations.

Financing Cash Flow Activities
We expect the short-term financing needs of our operations will be funded with existing cash, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. Long-term financing needs for our operations may be funded with the issuance of senior unsecured debt securities or equity securities through the capital markets.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in financing activities was $1.6 billion, consisting primarily of cash used to repurchase $2.2 billion of our common stock and payment of cash dividends totaling $388.3 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by net borrowings on our rental and homebuilding revolving credit facilities of $220 million and $500 million, respectively, and net borrowings on our mortgage repurchase facilities of $404.9 million.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $2.7 billion, consisting primarily of cash used to repurchase $3.6 billion of our common stock, repayment of $500 million principal amount of our 2.5% homebuilding senior notes at maturity, early repurchase of $329.4 million of Forestar’s $400 million principal amount 3.85% senior notes and payment of cash dividends totaling $376.4 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by note proceeds from our issuances of $700 million principal amount of 5.5% homebuilding senior notes and $500 million principal amount of 4.85% homebuilding senior notes, note proceeds from Forestar’s issuance of $500 million principal amount of 6.5% senior notes and net borrowings on our rental revolving credit facility and mortgage repurchase facilities of $275 million and $170.4 million, respectively.
During each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2026, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share, the most recent of which was paid on May 14, 2026 to stockholders of record on May 7, 2026. Cash dividends declared and paid in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $127.1 million and $388.3 million, respectively. Cash dividends of $0.40 per share were approved and paid in each quarter of fiscal 2025.
In July 2026, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share, payable on August 13, 2026 to stockholders of record on August 6, 2026. The declaration of future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, financial condition and general business conditions.

SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
As of June 30, 2026, D.R. Horton, Inc. had $3.0 billion principal amount of homebuilding senior notes outstanding due through October 2035 and $500 million outstanding on its homebuilding revolving credit facility.
All of the homebuilding senior notes and the homebuilding revolving credit facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain subsidiaries of D.R. Horton, Inc. (Guarantors or Guarantor Subsidiaries). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by D.R. Horton, Inc. Our subsidiaries associated with the single-family and multi-family rental operations, Forestar lot development operations, financial services operations and certain other subsidiaries do not guarantee the homebuilding senior notes or the homebuilding revolving credit facility (collectively, Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor and rank equal with all existing and future senior debt of such Guarantor and senior to all subordinated debt of such Guarantor.
The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured debt of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The guarantees will be structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Guarantors.
The guarantees by a Guarantor Subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon: (1) the sale or other disposition of its common stock whereby it is no longer a subsidiary of ours; (2) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets (other than to us or another Guarantor); (3) its merger or consolidation with an entity other than us or another Guarantor; or (4) its ceasing to guarantee any of our publicly traded debt securities and ceasing to guarantee any of our obligations under our homebuilding revolving credit facility.
The enforceability of the obligations of the Guarantor Subsidiaries under their guarantees may be subject to review under applicable federal or state laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. In certain circumstances, a court could void the guarantees, subordinate amounts owing under the guarantees or order other relief detrimental to the holders of our guaranteed obligations. The indenture governing our homebuilding senior notes contains a “savings clause,” which limits the liability of each Guarantor on its guarantee to the maximum amount that such Guarantor can incur without risk that its guarantee will be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer.
This provision may not be effective to protect such guarantees from fraudulent transfer challenges or, if it does, it may reduce such Guarantor’s obligation such that the remaining amount due and collectible under the guarantees would not suffice, if necessary, to pay the notes in full when due.
The following tables present summarized financial information for D.R. Horton, Inc. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis after intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated among D.R. Horton, Inc. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries, as well as their investment in, and equity in earnings from the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note A to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
SEASONALITY
Although significant changes in market conditions have impacted our seasonal patterns in the past and could do so again in the future, we generally close more homes and generate greater revenues and pre-tax income in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. The seasonal nature of our business can also cause significant variations in the working capital requirements for our homebuilding, rental, lot development and financial services operations. As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position at the end of a particular fiscal quarter are not necessarily representative of the balance of our fiscal year.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
