SEC filingNotes reveal $3.0B in land purchase commitments, $600M remaining buyback authorization, and $28.8M in inventory impairments for West and East segments.
As of September 30, 2025, Taylor Morrison held $370.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $116.6 million from $487.2 million at December 31, 2024. Total debt stood at $2,190.8 million (carrying value), including $1,471.8 million in senior notes, $568.8 million in loans payable and other borrowings, and $150.2 million in mortgage warehouse facilities. Shareholders' equity was $6,197.5 million, up from $5,878.2 million at year-end 2024, driven by net income partially offset by share repurchases. Total real estate inventory (owned and consolidated not owned) was $6,403.1 million, with owned inventory of $6,308.9 million.
The company had significant purchase commitments totaling $3.0 billion as of September 30, 2025, related to land option contracts and land banking arrangements (including a new Build-to-Rent land banking agreement). This compares to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2024. These commitments are secured by non-refundable cash deposits; the company's exposure is generally limited to forfeiture of those deposits. Outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds totaled $1.5 billion. Lease obligations were $73.0 million. Legal accruals were $50.9 million, including reserves for the Solivita and Bellalago litigation matters.
Share repurchases totaled $309.6 million in the first nine months of 2025, repurchasing 5.3 million shares. The board authorized a $1.0 billion repurchase program on October 23, 2024, with $600.4 million remaining as of September 30, 2025. No dividends were declared. Net debt increased by $70.3 million, with $140.5 million in new borrowings (primarily project-level debt) and $1.3 million in repayments. Capital expenditures (purchase of property and equipment) were $29.2 million. The company also invested $73.4 million in unconsolidated entities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the West segment generated the highest revenue ($2,395.6 million, +11.2% YoY) and operating income ($363.7 million). The East segment reported revenue of $2,077.8 million (+3.4% YoY) and operating income of $293.6 million. The Central segment saw a decline, with revenue of $1,352.1 million (-9.2% YoY) and operating income of $183.8 million. Financial Services contributed $160.0 million in revenue and $90.2 million in operating income. Inventory impairments of $28.8 million were recorded, primarily in the West and East segments.
Operating cash flow (CFO) of $170.9M for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, represents a significant turnaround from the $(228.2)M used in the prior year period. This improvement was driven primarily by a sharp reduction in cash used for real estate inventory and land deposits ($235.8M vs. $871.3M), partially offset by a decline in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net income before non-controlling interests was $614.2M, resulting in a CFO-to-net-income ratio of 0.28x, indicating that working capital outflows consumed a large portion of earnings.
Capital expenditures (capex) were $29.2M, up from $26.3M in the prior year, reflecting modest investment intensity. Free cash flow (not explicitly stated) would be approximately $141.7M (CFO minus capex), but this is a computed figure and not disclosed by the company.
Share repurchases of $309.6M far exceeded operating cash flow, indicating the company relied on debt and other financing sources to fund buybacks. The company also borrowed $140.5M in loans payable and utilized a revolving credit facility (net zero after borrowings and repayments).
Anomalies include a $21.9M gain from the sale of Urban Form assets (non-cash adjustment), $28.8M in inventory impairments, and a $230.2M net income tax payment that reduced cash from operations. The large swing in real estate inventory investment was the primary driver of the CFO improvement.
