We delivered 2,959 homes at an average price of $974,000, generating record third quarter home sales revenues of $2.9 billion, a 6% increase over last year. We achieved an adjusted gross margin of 27.5%, or 25 basis points above guidance, and our SG&A margin of 8.8% was 40 basis points better than guidance. We earned $370 million after taxes, or $3.73 per diluted share, and returned $226 million to stockholders through share repurchases and dividends, positioning us for another year of healthy profitability and solid returns.
"We signed 2,388 net contracts for $2.4 billion in our third quarter. The average sales price of new contracts was $1.0 million, up 4.5% year-over-year. Contract dollars were flat despite a 4% decline in units. While affordability pressures and uncertain economic conditions persist, we are pleased with the resilience of our luxury business and more affluent customer base. In this environment, we continue to focus on strategically balancing price and pace in order to maximize profitability and returns. Additionally, we are actively managing our spec starts on a community-by-community basis to best match local demand.
"Our financial position remains solid, with significant cash flows and liquidity and a strong balance sheet. We also control sufficient land to support continued community count growth over the next several years, allowing us to be highly selective and disciplined in our land acquisition. As we enter the fourth quarter, we remain focused on executing at a high level, delivering value to our stockholders, and positioning our Company for success in fiscal 2026 and beyond."
