MATAWAN, N.J., May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: HOV), a leading national homebuilder, reported results for its fiscal second quarter and six months ended April 30, 2026.
The Company is saddened by the passing of Edward A. Kangas, whose leadership and dedication to Hovnanian spanned many years. As our longest-serving independent director, Chair of the Audit Committee, and Lead Independent Director, Ed provided valued judgment, integrity, and steady guidance to our Board and management team. Beyond his many professional contributions, he was also a trusted friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. The Board of Directors and everyone at the Company extend their heartfelt condolences to his family.
RESULTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 2026:
- Total revenues were $667.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, which was within the guidance range we provided, compared with $686.5 million in the same quarter of the prior year. For the six months ended April 30, 2026, total revenues were $1.30 billion compared with $1.36 billion in the first half of fiscal 2025.

For the six months ended April 30, 2026, total interest expense as a percent of total revenues was 4.4% compared with 4.3% in the first half of the previous fiscal year.
- Income before income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $0.3 million compared with $26.5 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the first half of fiscal 2026, income before income taxes was $29.0 million compared with $66.4 million during the first six months of the prior fiscal year.
- Income before income taxes, excluding land-related charges, was $9.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, which was near the high end of the guidance range we provided, compared with income before these items of $29.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. For the six months ended April 30, 2026, income before income taxes excluding land-related charges and gain on extinguishment of debt, net was $40.2 million compared with income before these items of $70.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2025.
- Net loss was $0.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared with net income of $19.7 million, or $2.43 per diluted common share, in the same period of the previous fiscal year. For the first six months of fiscal 2026, net income was $20.3 million, or $2.20 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $47.9 million, or $6.02 per diluted common share, during the first half of fiscal 2025.
- EBITDA was $32.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with $58.6 million for the second quarter of the prior year. For the first half of fiscal 2026, EBITDA was $93.1 million compared with $129.7 million in the same period of the prior year.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $41.1 million for the quarter ended April 30, 2026, which was above the guidance range we provided, compared with $61.3 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the first half of fiscal 2026, adjusted EBITDA was $104.2 million compared with $133.4 million in the same period of the prior year.
- Consolidated domestic contracts(1) in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 1.0% to 1,412 homes ($759.9 million) compared with 1,398 homes ($706.6 million) in the same quarter last year. Domestic contracts, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, for the three months ended April 30, 2026, increased 2.3% to 1,667 homes ($938.2 million) compared with 1,629 homes ($856.1 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
- As of April 30, 2026, the number of consolidated domestic communities was 125, unchanged from April 30, 2025. Including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, domestic community count was also unchanged year over year at 148 as of April 30, 2026.
- Consolidated domestic contracts per community increased 0.9% year-over-year to 11.3 in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 11.2 in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. When including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, domestic contracts per community increased 2.7% to 11.3 for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared with 11.0 in the prior-year period.
- The dollar value of consolidated domestic contract backlog, as of April 30, 2026, decreased 5.0% to $938.4 million compared with $988.2 million as of April 30, 2025. The dollar value of domestic contract backlog, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, as of April 30, 2026, decreased 4.5% to $1.23 billion compared with $1.29 billion as of April 30, 2025. The year-over-year decrease in domestic backlog dollars is partly due to increased sales of quick move in homes (QMIs), which are typically in backlog for a very short period of time.
- The gross domestic contract cancellation rate for consolidated contracts was 17% for the quarter ended April 30, 2026, compared with 15% in the fiscal 2025 second quarter. The gross domestic contract cancellation rate for contracts, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, was 15% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with 14% in the second quarter of the prior year.
- For the trailing twelve-month period our net income return on inventory was 2.1% and our adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes return on investment (Adjusted EBIT ROI) was 15.9%. For the most recently reported trailing twelve-month periods, we believe we had the highest Adjusted EBIT ROI compared to nine of our publicly traded midsized homebuilder peers.
(1) When we refer to “domestic” deliveries, contracts, communities or backlog, we are excluding results from our multi-community KSA operations.
LIQUIDITY AND INVENTORY AS OF APRIL 30, 2026:
- During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, domestic land and land development spending was $232.3 million compared with $219.8 million in the same quarter one year ago. For the first half of fiscal 2026, domestic land and land development spending was $413.0 million compared with $467.4 million in the same period one year ago. We are gaining momentum in new land opportunities that meet our financial thresholds in this difficult environment.
- Total liquidity as of April 30, 2026, was $442.0 million, which was significantly above our target liquidity range of $170 million to $245 million.
- During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we repurchased 90,507 shares of common stock, or 1.8% of Class A common stock as of January 31, 2026, for $9.5 million or an average price of $104.60 per share.
- In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, approximately 1,400 lots were put under option or acquired in 25 domestic consolidated communities.
- As of April 30, 2026, our total domestic controlled consolidated lots were 33,632 compared with 42,440 lots at the end of the previous fiscal year’s second quarter. Continuing our land-light strategic focus, 86% of our lots were optioned at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Based on trailing twelve-month deliveries, the current position equaled 6.5 years’ supply.
- Total domestic QMIs as of April 30, 2026, were 731, a decline of 31.9% compared with 1,073 as of April 30, 2025, illustrating our efforts to match our starts with our sales pace. This equates to 5.8 QMIs per community as of April 30, 2026. Total domestic finished QMIs as of April 30, 2026, were 137, a decline of 54.9% compared with 304 as of April 30, 2025.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE(2):
The Company is providing guidance for total revenues, adjusted homebuilding gross margin, adjusted income before income taxes and adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Financial guidance below assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions, including deterioration in our supply chain or material increases in mortgage rates, inflation or cancellation rates, and excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $112.44 on April 30, 2026.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, total revenues are expected to be between $650 million and $750 million, adjusted homebuilding gross margin is expected to be between 14.0% and 15.0%, adjusted income before income taxes is expected to be between breakeven and $10 million and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $30 million and $40 million.
(2) The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. These items include, but are not limited to, land-related charges, inventory impairments and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.
COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT:
“Despite a choppy month-to-month sales environment during the quarter, we delivered results that were above or within our guidance ranges for total revenues, gross margin, SG&A ratio, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income before income taxes,” said Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. “Overall, our performance reflects the resilience of our operating model and our team’s ability to execute in an unsettled market. Furthermore, our gross margins improved sequentially in the second quarter, marking early progress toward normalization after bottoming in the first quarter.”
Mr. Hovnanian continued, “We began our second quarter with encouraging sales momentum, but escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly the war in Iran, reignited inflation concerns and caused many homebuyers to hesitate. While demand remained uneven, we stayed focused on managing pace, pricing, and costs. Our priority continues to be the prudent deployment of capital – deliberately maintaining ample liquidity, working through older, lower-margin lots, selectively investing in new land opportunities that underwrite in today’s environment, and opportunistically returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases.”
“In today’s environment, it’s difficult to provide meaningful visibility beyond the next quarter. However, if current housing conditions continue, we expect a significant step-up in our fourth quarter performance, particularly in volume and gross margins, driven by deliveries from newer communities. While week-to-week demand can be volatile, we are encouraged by current trends and believe the Company is well positioned to close out the year with strong momentum,” Mr. Hovnanian concluded.
