Insights

Financial Analyst

D.R. Horton delivered a solid fiscal 2024 with $36.8 billion in revenues and $4.8 billion in net income. Key highlights include a healthy 17.1% pre-tax margin, $2.2 billion in operating cash flow and a conservative debt-to-capital ratio of 18.9%. The company's focus on affordable housing and strategic use of incentives like mortgage rate buydowns shows adaptability to market conditions. Strong financial metrics include 19.9% ROE and 27.8% homebuilding ROI. The 33% dividend increase to $0.40 per share and $1.8 billion in share repurchases reflect robust shareholder returns. However, Q4 sales pace was below expectations due to rate volatility affecting buyer sentiment.

Real Estate Market Analyst

Despite challenging market conditions, DHI maintained operational strength with 89,690 homes closed in FY2024, up 8% YoY. Their inventory position of 37,400 homes (25,700 unsold) and 632,900-lot portfolio (76% controlled through contracts) demonstrates strategic market positioning. The focus on affordable housing segment is prudent given current market dynamics. The 21% cancellation rate in Q4 remained stable, while the backlog decline of 20% to 12,180 homes reflects normalized market conditions. The company's rental operations diversification adds stability, contributing $228.7 million in pre-tax income for the year.

David Auld, Executive Chairman, said, “The D.R. Horton team produced a solid fiscal 2024, highlighted by consolidated pre-tax income of $6.3 billion on $36.8 billion of revenues and a pre-tax profit margin of 17.1%. Earnings per diluted share in fiscal 2024 increased 4% to $14.34. Our consolidated cash flow from operations for fiscal 2024 was $2.2 billion, and we returned all of the cash we generated this year to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Over the past five years, we generated $9.0 billion of cash flow from operations, and we reduced our outstanding share count by 12%.

"Despite continued affordability challenges and competitive market conditions, our net sales orders in the fourth quarter increased slightly from the prior year to 19,035 homes. Our sales pace was in line with normal seasonality from the third to fourth quarter but was below our expectations. While mortgage rates have decreased from their highs earlier this year, many potential homebuyers expect rates to be lower in 2025. We believe that rate volatility and uncertainty are causing some buyers to stay on the sidelines in the near term. To help spur demand and address affordability, we are continuing to use incentives such as mortgage rate buydowns, and we have continued to start and sell more of our homes with smaller floor plans.

"The supply of both new and existing homes at affordable price points is still generally limited, and demographics supporting housing demand are favorable. With a focus on affordable product offerings, 37,400 homes in inventory and continued improvement in our construction cycle times, we are well positioned for fiscal 2025. We expect to generate increasing levels of consolidated operating cash flows, and our liquidity and low leverage provide us with significant financial flexibility. Based on our strong financial position and cash flow, our Board recently increased our quarterly cash dividend by 33% to $0.40 per share. We are maintaining our disciplined approach to capital allocation to enhance the long-term value of our company, including consistent and increasing capital returns to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends."
