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 homebuilding business began in 1978 in Fort Worth, Texas, and our common stock has been publicly traded since 1992. We have expanded and diversified our homebuilding operations geographically over the years by investing capital and building teams of people in our existing markets, starting new operations in additional markets and acquiring other homebuilding companies. We have closed more than 1.2 million homes during our 47-year history, and we have been the largest volume homebuilder in the United States every year since 2002. Our business operations consist of homebuilding, rental, a majority-owned residential lot development company, financial services and other activities. Homebuilding is our core business, generating 92% of consolidated revenues of $34.3 billion and $36.8 billion in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 90% of consolidated revenues of $35.5 billion in fiscal 2023. Most of our homebuilding revenue is generated from the sale of completed homes and to a lesser extent from the sale of land and lots. Approximately 84% of our home sales revenue in fiscal 2025 was generated from the sale of single-family detached homes, with the remainder from the sale of attached homes, such as townhomes and duplexes. Our product offerings include a broad range of homes for entry-level, move-up, active adult and luxury buyers. Our homes generally range in size from 1,000 to 4,000 square feet and in price from $250,000 to more than $1,000,000. For the year ended September 30, 2025, our homebuilding operations closed 84,863 homes with an average closing price of $370,400. Our rental segment consists of single-family and multi-family rental operations. The single-family rental operations construct and lease single-family homes within a community and market each community for a bulk sale of rental homes. The multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties, the majority of which are apartment communities. For the year ended September 30, 2025, our rental operations closed 3,460 single-family rental homes and 2,947 multi-family rental units. At September 30, 2025, we owned 62% of the outstanding shares of Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar), a publicly traded residential lot development company listed on the NYSE 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. For the year ended September 30, 2025, Forestar sold 14,240 lots, of which 83% were sold to D.R. Horton. Our financial services operations provide mortgage financing and title agency services to homebuyers in many of our homebuilding markets.
